Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury
from loss of control, be
absolutely sure that the
attachment can turn freely
when the engine is
started. When the engine
is started in the START position, engine
speed will be fast enough for the clutch
to engage and turn the attachment.
Working Conditions
Operate and start your power tool only
outdoors in a well ventilated area.
Operate the dethatcher under good
visibility and daylight conditions only.
Work carefully.
!
Warning!
Your power tool produces
toxic exhaust fumes as
soon as the engine is
running. These gases
(e.g. carbon monoxide)
may be colorless and
odorless. To reduce the risk of serious or
fatal injury from inhaling toxic fumes,
never run the dethatcher indoors or in
poorly ventilated locations.

Use of this product can generate dust
and fumes containing chemicals known
to cause respiratory disease, cancer,
birth defects, or other reproductive
harm. If you are unfamiliar with the risks
associated with the particular dust or
fume at issue, consult your employer,
governmental agencies such as OSHA
and NIOSH and other sources on
hazardous materials. The State of

Control dust and fumes at the source
where possible. In this regard use good
work practices and follow the
recommendations of OSHA/NIOSH and

When the inhalation of toxic dust and
fumes cannot be eliminated, the
operator and any bystanders should
always wear a respirator rated for the
substance at hand by its manufacturer
and approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the
type of dust and / or fumes encountered.

Always hold the power tool firmly with
both hands. Wrap your fingers tightly
around the handles, keeping the

position to have your power tool under
control at all times. Make sure your
dethatcher handles and grips are in
good condition and free of moisture,
pitch, oil or grease.

Never attempt to operate any dethatcher
with one hand. Loss of control of the
