GETTING TO KNOW THE MACHINE
NOTE The images corresponding to the references are
found on page 2 of this manual.
MACHINE DESCRIPTION AND USAGE
This machine is a garden tool, and precisely an electric
aerator/scarifier, that is pedestrian controlled.
The machine is essentially composed of a motor which
drives a tine rotor enclosed in a casing, equipped with
wheels and a handle. The operator is able to operate the
machine and use the main controls, always staying behind
the handle at a safe distance from the rotating parts. If the
operator leaves the machine, the motor and rotating parts
will stop within a few seconds.
Intended use
This machine was designed and manufactured for aerating
and scarifying the ground, done by a pedestrian operator.
The difference of the effect made on the ground is obtained
according to the structure of the interchangeable rotor tines
and the depth in the ground.
Improper use
Any other use differing from the above mentioned ones
could be hazardous and harm people and/or damage
things. Examples of improper use may include, but are not
limited to:
– t ransporting persons, children or animals on the ma-
chine;
– l etting oneself be transported by the machine;
– u sing the machine to tow or push loads;
– u se of the machine by more than one person;
– l owering or operating the rotor on firm surfaces or with
gravel or stones.

Do not dispose of electrical equipment with house-
hold waste material. In observance of European
Directive 2012/19/EC on waste electrical and elec-
tronic equipment and its implementation in accordance
with national regulations, electric equipment that has
reached the end of its product life must be collected sepa-
rately and recycled in an ecologically compatible way. If
electrical equipment is disposed of in dumps or in landfills,
hazardous substances can leak into the groundwater and
get into the food chain, damaging your health and well-be-
ing. For further information on the disposal of this product,
