REMOVING AND EMPTYING THE THATCH COLLECTION BAG
Empty the thatch collection bag frequently during use. Do not wait until it is completely full. We recommend emptying it when it is half full.
1. Lift the ejector flap and pull the thatch collection bag off the mounting hooks to remove it.
2. Empty the bag’s contents into a suitable waste receptacle. Mount the bag back into position before resuming work.
Operation
INTENDED USE
□ This electric scarifier + dethatcher is designated with a 12 amp
motor. Depending on the fitted cutting device, this machine is
either intended for scarifying and removing thatch from lawns
or raking in domestic and hobby gardens.
□ When used as a scarifier, this machine works by scratching
through and between the grass with specially adapted prongs
that collect and remove any unwanted parts from the lawn
while leaving the grass blades intact. At the same time the
machine scarifies the ground resulting in a better aeration.
□ When used as a dethatcher the fine needles will scratch the
surface of the lawn while simultaneously picking up light debris
for better oxygen absorption, airing and drainage.
□ This machine is not to be used in wet weather conditions and
may not be used to mow dry, wet or unusually high grass, e.g.,
pasture grass or for shredding leaves.
□ This machine is intended for private domestic use only, not for
any commercial trade use. It must not be used for any purposes
other than those described.

suitable depth depends on the kind of lawn and the actual height of
the grass.
