1 & 2 - low  
The low settings should be used to collect material from the  
base of the lawn. This setting is ideal for removing moss  
and thatch. After removing the thick patches of moss and  
thatch the lawn may look bare in some patches. These  
patches in the lawn will start to recover now that the moss  
and thatch has been removed.  
6
3 - 4 medium  
The medium settings should be used for moderate raking.  
This setting is ideal for lifting flattened grass prior to mowing  
and for collecting grass cuttings after mowing. It can also be  
used for light raking of moss and thatch.  
5 & 6 - high  
The high settings are for light raking and should be used for  
clearing the lawn. This setting is ideal for collecting light

How to Use  
Raking your Lawn  
Raking the lawn helps aerate the soil, prevent diseases, it  
also improves surface drainage and promotes a healthier  
thicker lawn.  
Moss  
There are several types of mosses, which can cause  
problems to your lawn. Moss as well as being detrimen-  
tal to the appearance of your lawn, will smother grass,  
make the lawn spongy, make it difficult to mow, hold  
water and encourage disease. Moss spores are released  
during spring and autumn.  
2
Thatch  
Thatch is decaying organic matter that builds up on the  
base of the lawn. Like moss thatch is detrimental to the  
appearance of your lawn and can cause bad surface  
drainage, encourage weeds, prevent air circulation and  
encourage disease.  
1
How to Use  
For total control of moss, use moss killer in early  
spring a couple of weeks prior to using the lawnrake  
To gently remove particularly heavy areas of moss  
and thatch you may have to rake over the area sev-  
eral times.  
For best results use your lawnrake regularly particu-  
larly at the beginning of the season to encourage  
good growth and at the end of the season to prepare  
the lawn for winter. The lawn should be raked in  
autumn leaving some time for the lawn to thicken  
and recover before winter.  
Do not use in wet or damp conditions. Raking in wet  
conditions can damage the lawn.  
Do not force the lawnrake through long grass it  
should be used on grass no longer than 75mm in  
length. If the grass is long, mow the lawn prior to  
using the Lawn Rake. The Lawn Rake can collect  
your grass clippings while raking.  
Clear the lawn of any loose debris or stones that  
may damage the lawnrake.  
On your first use choose a medium height to start  
with, and then adjust the height setting to suit your  
lawn and use.  
To maintain the quality of your lawnrake it is recom-  
mended that you clean it after use. Refer to the sec-  
tion - Caring for your Product  
Start the lawnrake at the edge of the lawn, close to  
the power point, and work away from the power  
point. Once you have raked the lawn in one direction  
rake again at right angles to the previous direction. (L)
