MAINTENANCE

• Keep the ventilation vents of the trimmer clean at all times, if possible, prevent foreign matter from entering the vents.
• After each use, blow air through the trimmer housing to ensure it is free from all dust particles which may build up. Build up of dust particles may cause the trimmer to overheat and fail.
• If the enclosure of the trimmer requires cleaning, do not use solvents but a moist soft cloth only. Never let any liquid get inside the trimmer; never immerse any part of the trimmer into a liquid.

Carbon Brushes

When the carbon brushes wear out, the trimmer will spark and/or stop. Discontinue use as soon as this happens. They should be replaced prior to recommencing use of the trimmer. Carbon brushes are a wearing component of the trimmer therefore not covered under warranty. Continuing to use the trimmer when carbon brushes need to be replaced may cause permanent damage to the trimmer. Carbon brushes will wear out after many uses but when

the carbon brushes need to be replaced, take the trimmer to an electrician or a power tool repairer for a quick and low cost replacement. Always replace both carbon brushes at the same time.

Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries caused by the repair of the trimmer by an unauthorised person or by mishandling of the trimmer.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings

REF: All warnings and instructions for future reference. This term power tool will be the refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1. Work area safety

a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

1. Electrical safety

a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

1. Personal safety

a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
