Operation; Replacing The Power Cable - Einhell Rg-Es 1639 Bedienungsanleitung

Kinking by improperly fastening or guiding the
power cable
The power cables must, at the very minimum, be of
type HO5RN-F and 3-stranded. The cable type must
be printed somewhere on the power cable. Only
purchase power cables that are marked as such!
Plugs and socket couplers for the power cables must
be made from rubber and be splash-proof. There is a
limit to how long power cables can be. Longer power
cables require larger conductor cross-sections.
Power cables and connecting lines must be regularly
checked for damage. Ensure that the lines are de-
energized before checking them. Completely unwind
the power cable. Also check power cable entry
points, plugs and socket couplers for kinks.

6. Operation

Connect the machineʼs power supply cable to the
plug (Fig. 14/Item 3) and secure the power cable with
the stress-relief clip (Fig 14).
Important! To prevent accidental start-up of the
equipment, the push-bar (Fig. 1 / Item 2) is equipped
with a safety lock-off (Fig. 15 / Item 1a) which must
be pressed before the lever switch (Fig. 15 / Item 1)
can be pressed. If the lever switch is released, the
equipment switches off.
Repeat this process several times so that you are
sure that the machine functions properly. Before you
perform any repair or maintenance work on the
machine, ensure that the cutting unit is not rotating
and that the power supply is disconnected.
Important! Never open the ejector flap when the
motor is running. A rotating cutting unit can cause
injuries.
Always fasten the ejector flap carefully. The flap flips
back to the "Closed" position by the tension springs!
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the
long handles) is maintained 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 scarifier may not be used to
scarify inclines whose gradient exceeds 15 degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling the
scarifier (tripping hazard)!

Tips for proper working
It is recommended that you overlap scarifying paths
a little.
Try to scarify in straight lines for a nice, clean look.
Insodoing, the aeration swaths should always
overlap each other by a few centimeters in order to
avoid bare strips.
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the scarifier, it
is time to empty the grass basket.
Important! Before taking off the grass basket,
switch off the motor and wait until the roller has
come to a stop.
To remove the grass basket, lift up the ejector flap
with one hand, while unhooking the basket with the
other.
How frequently you should scarify your lawn is
determined primarily by the speed at which the grass
grows and the hardness of the soil.
Keep the underside of the equipment clean and
remove soil and grass build-up. Deposits make it
more difficult to start the aerator and decrease the
quality of the scarifying.
Always scarify along inclines (not up and down).
Switch off the motor before doing any checks on the
roller.
Important!
The roller rotates for a few seconds after the motor is
switched off. Never attempt to stop the roller. In the
event that the rotating roller strikes an object,
immediately switch off the equipment and wait for the
roller to come to a complete stop. Then inspect the
condition of the roller. Replace any parts that are
damaged (see section 8.4).
Lay the power cable on the ground in loops in front of
the power outlet. Scarify away from the power outlet
and cable, making sure that the power cable always
trails in the already scarified grass so that the
equipment does not travel over the cable.

7. Replacing the power cable

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-
sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid
danger.
