will fi nd a table with an explanation of the LED
indicator on the charger.
The battery pack can become a little warm during
the charging. This is normal.
If the battery pack fails to charge, check:
•
whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
•
whether there is good contact at the charging
contacts
If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
•
the charging unit
•
and the battery pack
to our customer service center.
To ensure that items are properly packaged
and delivered when you send them to us,
please contact our customer service or the
point of sale at which the equipment was
purchased.
When shipping or disposing of batteries and
cordless tools, always ensure that they are
packed individually in plastic bags to prevent
short circuits and fi res.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long ser-
vice, you should take care to recharge it promptly.
You must recharge the battery pack when you
notice that the performance of the device drops.
Never allow the battery pack to become fully di-
scharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

6. Operation
Caution!
The scarifi er is equipped with a safety switch to
prevent unauthorized use. Directly before starting
up the scarifi er insert the safety plug (Fig. 13/Item
15) and remove the safety plug again when inter-
rupting or terminating your work.
To prevent accidental start-up of the scarifi er, the
push bar (Fig. 14/Item 3) is equipped with a safety
lock-off (Fig. 14/Item 2) which must be pressed
before the lever switch (Fig. 14/Item 1) can be
pressed. The start time for the equipment can
amount to several seconds. If the lever switch is
released, the scarifi er switches off . Repeat this
process several times so that you are sure that
your equipment functions properly. Always pull
out the safety plug before performing any adjus-
ting, repair, maintenance or cleaning work on the
equipment. Make sure that the spike drum is not
rotating.
Danger! Never open the ejector fl ap when the
motor is running. A rotating cutting unit can cause
injuries. Always fasten the ejector fl ap carefully.
The fl ap fl ips back to the "Closed" position by
the tension springs! Always ensure that a safe
distance (provided by the long handles) is main-
tained between the user and the housing. Be
especially careful when scarifying and changing
direction on slopes and inclines. Maintain a solid
footing and wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and
long trousers. Always scarify along the incline (not
up and down). For safety reasons, the scarifi er
may not be used to scarify inclines whose gradi-
ent exceeds 15 degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling
the scarifi er (tripping hazard)!
