9 SCARIFYING / AERATING
WARNING Risk of injury! Before beginning work, check the terrain and
remove all objects that may be flung out by the product.
WARNING Risk of injury! Never let go of the steering while working.
▪ Position the product on a flat grass surface.
▪ Keep the operating safety lock (2) pressed.

▪ Wait until the motor has reached the maximum idle speed.
▪ Steer the product at an even, slow speed (walking pace) in the straightest lines possible.
▪ Work in slight overlapping rows. The most effective pattern for scarifying/raking lawns is
straight lines along one of the sides. This will keep the rows even and ensures that all the
lawn is scarified/raked without missing any spots. (See Fig. 10).
▪ Circle around flower beds. When reaching a flower bed in the middle of the lawn, make a
row or two around the circumference of the bed.
▪ Pay special attention when changing direction.
