v Never use the Electric Aerator when it is raining.
v Please observe the prescribed local quiet times.
Pay attention to the
working environment
Before maintenance, disconnect the plug from the mains!
v Keep the extension cable away from the aerator cylinder!
Electrical safety
Attention, the Aerator does not stop immediately after the
motor has been turned off !
v The connecting/extension cable must be checked regularly
for damage and signs of wear and tear.
V Keep the mains cable away from the Aerator.
v Disconnect the mains plug immediately if the connecting/
extension cable is damaged or severed.
Checks before
each operation:
v Inspect the Electric Aerator before each use.
The coupling socket for the extension cable must be waterproof
for protection from water splashes or the connection sockets
for extension cables must be made of rubber or be encased in
rubber.
v Do not use the Electric Aerator if safety devices (starting
lever; safety cover) are damaged or worn.
v Never operate the unit with the safety devices by-passed or
missing.
Extension cables must meet the requirements of DIN VDE 0620.
v Note: Ensure that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight and
v Only use approved extension cables with an adequate cable
that the Aerator is in good working order.
cross-section. Ask your electrician.
For safety reasons, allow all worn out and damaged parts to
be exchanged by GARDENA Service or authorised specialist
dealers.
Attachment fittings must be used for extension cables.
For portable units, which are used outdoors, we recommend to
use a residual-current device having a residual-current rating
≤ 30 mA. In Switzerland use of a residual-current device is oblig-
atory.
v Inspect the area to be aerated before beginning work.
v Check the working area for foreign objects (e.g. stones,
branches, string) and remove if necessary.
Proper use /
Responsibility
The Aerator can cause serious injuries!
You are responsible for the safety of the working area.
3. Function
v Only use the Electric Aerator for the purposes specified in
Correct aerating:
The Aerator can be used for removing matting and moss in the
lawn as well as for cutting flat-rooting ranks.
these instructions.
v Only work when visibility is good.
To maintain a well-cared-for lawn, we recommend aerating the
lawn twice a year: in the spring and in the autumn.
v During use do not tip the unit and do not open the rear flap.
v Familiarise yourself with the surroundings of your working
area. Check for possible risks which might be not audible
due to the noise of the machine.
v First of all, mow your lawn to the length you require.
We particularly recommend this if the grass has grown tall
(e.g. while you were away on holiday).
v Wear sturdy shoes and long trousers to protect your legs.
Recommendation: the shorter you mow your lawn, the easier it
is to aerate, thus lessening the strain on the Aerator and in-
creasing the lifetime of the aerator cylinder.
Danger of injury!
V Keep hands and feet away from the aerator cylinder.
Remaining in one spot too long, or aerating if the ground is wet
or too dry can damage the grass.
Make sure that there are no other people (especially children)
or animals anywhere near the working area.
v For good results, guide the Aerator at an appropriate speed in
v Always push the Aerator at a walking pace.
strips as straight as possible across your lawn.
v Ensure that you have a secure foothold when working.
To avoid leaving any gaps during aerating, the strips should touch.
Attention! Take extra care when walking backwards.
You may stumble!
v Always guide the Aerator at an even speed depending on the
type of ground.
If you come into contact
with an obstruction
during aerating:
1. Turn off the Electric Aerator.
v When working on inclines always stand diagonally to the incline
2. Remove the obstruction.
in a sturdy, safe stance. Do not work on extremely steep slopes.
3. Check the Aerator for damage and have it repaired if necessary.
Danger of tripping!
Interruptions of work
Never leave the Electric Aerator unattended at the working
area.
To prevent tripping take particular care when moving back-
wards and when pulling the Aerator.
v If you interrupt your work store the unit in a safe place.
v When turning the Aerator, always turn the cable strain relief
device on the handle to the side you are working on.
This makes it considerably easier to guide the cable.
Disconnect the mains plug!
v When you interrupt work in order to go to another working
area, always switch off the Electric Aerator during transport.

When aerating areas of very mossy lawn we recommend re-sow-
ing the lawn after aerating. This helps the areas of lawn which
were replaced by moss to regenerate more quickly.

Adjusting for wear:
The Aerator is subject to wear in use due to the way in which it
works. The more intensively the Aerator is used, the greater the
wear on the knives. Hard or very dry ground accelerates wear as
does excessive use of the Aerator.
