that you read these instructions carefully.
When fully assembled the machine weighs
approximately 13.5kg. If necessary, obtain assistance

Take care when pushing the machine over uneven
surfaces. Never lift the machine unless you feel it is
comfortably light enough to do so. Obtain assistance
if you have tight areas or obstacles to negotiate.

your service agent if you ever need assistance or

Electrical Safety
Note: It is recommended for increased electrical
safety to use a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a
tripping current of not more than 30mA. Always
check your RCD every time you use it.
Note: Your mower is fitted with an approved
13A(BS1363/A) electric plug and is protected by a
13A fuse (ASTA Approved to BS1362).
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 13A socket elsewhere.
Your mower is double insulated for safety and
requires no earth connection. The operating
voltage is 230V ac.50Hz.
Extension cable
Only use an approved extension cable. Contact
your Qualcast Approved Service Agent for details.
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.
