Electrical Safety

Your machine is double insulated for safety and
requires no earth connection. The operating
Voltage is 230 V ac, 50 Hz. Only use an ap­proved extension cable. Contact your service
agent for details.

Extension cords/leads should only be used if
they comply with H05VV-F or H05RN-F types.

It is recommended for increased electrical
safety to use a Residual Current Device (RCD)
with a tripping current of not more than 30 mA.
Always check your RCD every time you use it.

For Product not sold in GB:

WARNING: For safety, it is essential that the
mains plug 4 attached to the machine is fitted
to the power supply cable 10 as in figure B .

The couplings of connection leads must be pro­tected against splashes and the coupling sock­ets on the leads must be made of rubber or
coated with rubber.

Fixing means for the connection leads must be
used.

The connection lead must be inspected for signs
of damage at regular intervals and may only be
used if in perfect condition.

If the supply cord is damaged it must be re­placed by a Atco-Qualcast approved service
agent.

Products sold in GB only: Your mower is fitted

with an approved 13 A (BS1363/A) electric plug
and is protected by a 13 A fuse (ASTA Approved
to BS 1362).

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate
plug fitted in its place.

Handle Adjustment

The handle can be set in three positions, as in

hung on walls.

To move the handle from location I or III to
mowing location II press together the tubes of
the handle bottom 6 .

Adjusting the Cutting Height

Stop and remove the plug and wait until
the motor stops before adjusting height.
The blades continue to rotate after the
machine is switched off, a rotating blade
can cause injury.

For the first cutting of the season, a high cutting
adjustment should be selected.

Your machine has two settings which give the
following approximate height of cuts:

low = 20 mm

To change the height of cut, place the handle
in the park position and turn the mower on its
side and hold onto the fan 13 (figure D ):

Turn the cutting disc 11 relative to the

➊

fan 13 to unlock the cutting disc.

Push/pull the cutting disc 11 on low or

➋

high cutting position.

Turn the cutting disc 11 relative to the

➌

fan 13 to lock the cutting disc.

high = 30 mm

Starting and Stopping

The blade(s) continues to rotate for a few
seconds after the machine is switched off.
Allow the motor/blade to stop rotating be­fore switching “on” again.
Do not rapidly switch off and on.

To aid starting tilt mower to side.

Starting:

Press and hold the safety button 2
(figure E ).

Squeeze the switch lever 1 towards the
handle.

Release the safety button 2 .

Stopping:

Release the switch lever 1 .

Mowing

The motor cover is designed with a flexible
mounting and tilts to improve directional con­trol.

Place the lawnmower on the edge of the lawn,
as close to the power point as possible. Work
away from the power point as in figure F . Then at
right angles.

Position the cable to opposite side (already cut)
at the end of each turn.

When mowing do not allow the motor to

labour particularly in heavy conditions.

When the motor labours the speed of the
motor drops and you will hear a change in
the motor sound, when this occurs stop
mowing, release switch lever and raise the

height of cut . Failure to do so could dam-

age the machine.

Maintenance

Stop and remove plug from the power
supply.

Note: To ensure long and reliable service, carry
out the following maintenance regularly.

Regularly check for obvious defects such as a
loose, dislodged or damaged blade, loose fix­ings and worn or damaged components.
Check that covers and guards are undamaged
and correctly fitted. Carry out necessary main­tenance or repairs before using.

If the mower should happen to fail despite the
care taken in manufacture and testing, repair
should be carried out by a Atco-Qualcast Ap­proved Service Agent.

For all correspondence and spare parts orders,
always include the 10-digit part number from
the nameplate of the machine!
