For Your Safety

WARNING! SWITCH OFF, REMOVE PLUG FROM

THE BLADES CONTINUE TO ROTATE FOR A FEW
SECONDS AFTER THE MACHINE IS SWITCHED OFF.

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 12 .

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.

The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid
a possible shock hazard and should never be in­serted into a 13 A socket elsewhere.

Adjusting the Cutting Height

Stop, release switch lever and wait until

The blades continue to rotate for a few
seconds after the machine is switched off,
a rotating blade can cause injury.

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

Your machine has three settings which give the
following approximate heights of cut:

I = 20 II = 40 III = 60
Remove the grassbox to aid adjustment (see

Grassbox).

Starting and Stopping

E

The blades continue 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.

Starting:

Press and hold the safety button 2 .
Squeeze the switch lever 1 towards

the handle.
Release the safety button 2 .

Stopping:

Release the switch lever 1 .

Mowing

Place the lawnmower on the edge of the
lawn, as close to the power point as possi­ble. Work away from the power point. 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 the switch lever and

raise the height of cut . Failure to do so

could damage the machine.

NOTE: The motor is protected by a safety cut out

which is activated when the blade becomes
jammed or if the motor is overloaded. When this

occurs stop, remove the plug from the power
supply. The safety cut out will only reset when
the switch lever 1 is released. Clear any obstruc­tion and wait for a few minutes for the safety cut
out to reset before continuing to use the mower.
At this time do not operate the switch lever 1 as
this will prolong the reset time of the safety cut
out. If the mower cuts out again increase the
height of cut to reduce the load on the motor.
