• Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check
the area around you for possible obstacles (roots,
rocks, branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to
move suddenly. Take great care when working on
sloping ground.
• The engine/motor must be switched off before
moving.
• Never put the machine down with the engine/motor
running unless you have it in clear sight.
• Always use both hands to hold the machine. Hold
the machine at the side of your body.
• Make sure hands and feet do not come near the
moss dethatcher when it is running.
• When the engine/motor is switched off, keep your
hands and feet away from the moss dethatcher until
it has stopped completely.
• If heavy vibration occurs, stop the machine. If you
have a gasoline operated product, disconnect the HT
lead from the spark plug. If you have a battery
operated product, remove the battery from the
product. Make sure that the machine is not
damaged. Repair any damage.
Personal protective equipment
WARNING: Read the warning instructions

• Always use approved personal protective equipment
when you use the product. Personal protective
equipment cannot fully prevent injury but it
decreases the degree of injury if an accident does
occur. Let your dealer help you select the right
equipment.
• Use approved hearing protection that provides
adequate noise reduction. Long-term exposure to
noise can result in permanent hearing impairment.

attach, examine or clean the cutting equipment.
