Using the BEF 200N scarifier is easy. First, choose the right model according to your power source and project needs. For electric models, make sure to connect to the correct voltage. When starting the machine, stand in a stable position and hold the handle firmly. You can adjust the height of the handle to make your operation more comfortable. To use the quick - lift feature, it allows you to easily move the cutters in and out of the cut. When working, keep the machine moving smoothly across the surface. If you want a dust - free environment, connect a suitable vacuum to the 50mm dust extraction port. Here are some important notes. Do not operate the machine in wet conditions, especially for electric models, to avoid electrical hazards. Always wear appropriate safety gear, like goggles and gloves. When not in use, store the machine in a dry and safe place. For maintenance, regularly check the cutter head for wear and tear. If the cutters are dull, replace them in time. Clean the machine after each use, especially the dust extraction port and the wheels. Lubricate the moving parts as recommended by the manufacturer to keep the machine running smoothly and extend its service life.
