Operation

Setting the Working Positions (Using the
tine depth control knob)
NOTE: Before dethatching your lawn, prep the area by mowing
the lawn to a height of approximately 2 in. (5 cm). This will
minimize tine wear and prevent unnecessary motor overload.
The dethatcher has 5 principal position settings:
Setting 0 (+9 mm): Transport position
This position sets the maximum safety spacing between
the tool and the floor.
Setting 1 (+6 mm): Working position
Set this position when working with a new implement.
Settings 2 – 4 (+3 mm, 0 mm, -3 mm, respectively):
Readjustment positions
The working position can be lowered with increased spring tine
wear. The readjusting depth amounts to approximately 3 mm
per setting. Use the millimeter scale readings for fine setting.
NOTE: When the unit is delivered it is in the transport position
(setting 0).
m
CAUTION!
The unit must be switched off and
disconnected from the power supply before adjusting the
tine settings.
Press the adjustment knob down and turn it to the required
position until it locks in place (the knob will immediately rise
after it is locked into a setting) (Fig. 3).

WARNING!
The adjustment knob is not intended for
height adjustment, but rather to compensate for tine wear.
Selection of a readjustment position without the corresponding
wear can overload the motor and damage the cylinder.

WARNING!
Before switching on the dethatcher, make
sure that it is not in contact with any foreign objects. Keep
your feet and hands a safe distance away from the rotating
tines and the ejector opening. Failure to comply with these
warnings can result in severe personal injury.
1. Place the unit on a level lawn surface.
2. Form a loop with the end of the extension cord, push the
loop through the hole in the cable relief holder and slide
the loop onto the retaining clip to secure the extension
cord (Fig. 4).

3. Plug the extension cord into the appliance cord, then

lock button while pulling the switch bar lever toward you.
