Intended use

  • This product is intended for raking and scarifying on the lawns in domestic gardens.
    This raker & scarifier NMRS1500 is designated with a rated input of 1500 Watts. the grass with specially adapted prongs that collect and remove any thatch from the When used as a scarifier, this product works by scratching through and between lawn whilst leaving the grass blades intact. At the same time the product scarifies the ground resulting in better airing.

  • When used as a raker, this product helps to remove the dead matter, moss and weed which disfigures a lawn, so that to avoid a mat of absorbent fibres which prevents water getting through to the ground.

  • This product is not to be used in wet weather conditions and may not be used to mow dry, wet or unusually high grass, e. g. pasture grass or for shredding leaves.

  • This product is intended for private domestic use only, not for any commercial trade use. It must not be used for any purposes other than those described.

NOTE: Thatch is a build-up of organic materials which can include dead grass or leaves, stems, rhizomes and overcrowded grass roots as well as lateral weed growth. It stifles the growth and health of the lawn. Removing thatch encourages the lawn to thicken up and makes it stronger and less susceptible to disease. Reducing the thatch level increases the levels of water, air and nutrients that can get through to the root zone of the grass plants.

Adjust the lever (12) to one out of the four positions. Read the adjusted depth from the scale.

WARNING! For safety reasons, we recommend having the cutting device replaced by an authorized professional or similar qualified person.
WARNING! Always use an original cutting device recommended by the manufacturer for replacement. Do not attach other types of cutting device.

Overload protection
The overload protection will be activated in the following circumstances:

  1. Where there is too much resistance against the cutting device.
  2. When the circuit breaker has been activated switch off the product and disconnect from the power supply.
  3. A build up of scarified material around the cutting device.
    If the material scarified is larger then the motor capacity.
    Let the product cool down and eliminate the cause before using the product again.

Operation

Scarifying
Consider the weather when scarifying. Scarify the lawn with an increased depth setting during spring time between April and May as the lawn is better able to recover during this season. During a wet summer scarify again in late summer with a decreased depth setting. Do not scarify during periods of hot weather condition. During a dry rainless summer do not scarify a second time in autumn.

Raking
In order that a healthy lawn can develop in the spring, it is necessary for greater amounts of air to penetrate the area around the roots of the grass. We recommend aerate the lawn every 4 – 6 weeks depending on the state of your lawn.

After use

Customer care and technical helpline
A better way to repair your tools
Kingfisher takes special care in creating high-quality garden power tools that are designed to last.
