General Safety

1. Avoid dangerous conditions – Do not use this machine

in rainy, stormy, damp or wet locations. Do not operate the

unit in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors in these

units normally spark, and the sparks may ignite fumes.

2. Keep children, bystanders and pets away – Always

keep children and spectators a safe distance away from

the dethatcher during operation and as the machine cools.

3. Dress properly – Always wear personal safety gear (i.e.

glasses, rubber gloves, protective footwear and dust

masks) and proper clothing when using the dethatcher.

Loose clothing, long hair or jewelry may get caught in the

moving parts.

4. Use the right appliance – This dethatcher is intended

for outdoor use only. Do not use the dethatcher for any

application other than that for which it is intended.

6. Do not force the dethatcher – It will perform better with

less likelihood of personal or mechanical injury if it is used

at the rate for which it is designed.

7. Do not overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at

all times.

8. Stay alert – Always be alert and watch what you are

doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the dethatcher

when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol or

drugs.

9. Disconnect the dethatcher – Disconnect the dethatcher

from the power supply when it is not in use, before

servicing it, when changing accessories and when

performing any other maintenance task.

10. Store idle dethatcher indoors – When not in use, the

dethatcher should be stored indoors in a dry, locked place

out of the reach of children.

11. Maintain the dethatcher with care – Keep cutting edges

sharp and clean for optimal and safest performance.

Inspect the dethatcher cord periodically and if damage

is found have it repaired by an authorized service facility.

Extension cords should also be inspected periodically and

immediately replaced if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean

and free from oil and grease.

12. Double insulation – This dethatcher is equipped with

double insulation. This means that all external metal parts

are insulated from the electrical supply. This is achieved

by introducing an insulation layer between electrical and

mechanical parts. The double insulation guarantees you

the greatest possible safety.

13. Replacement parts – When servicing this unit, use only

identical replacement parts. Replace or repair damaged

cords immediately.

14. Polarized plug – Polarized appliance connections reduce

the risk of electric shock. This dethatcher has a polarized

plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will require

the use of a polarized extension cord. There is only one

way the dethatcher's plug will fit into a polarized extension

cord. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord,

reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a

correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension

cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. There

is only one way the plug will fit into a polarized wall

outlet. If the plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet,

reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a

qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not

modify the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle or

extension cord plug in any way.
