Frequently Asked Questions - PXPHTK-2545 Ozito

How do I assemble the pole hedge trimmer?

First, ensure the battery is removed. You can use the trimmer with or without the extension tube. Align the tab on the motor head tube with the recess on the rear handle tube (or extension tube), push together until fully seated, then tighten the lock nut. The parts only fit in one orientation. Do not force them.

Can I use any Ozito battery with this trimmer?

Yes, this trimmer is compatible with all batteries from the Ozito PXC 18V range. The included battery is 2.5 Ah, but you can use higher capacity batteries for longer run time.

How do I adjust the cutting head angle?

Grip the motor housing, press and hold the pivoting head button, then tilt the head to one of 7 preset angles. Release the button to lock. Do not hold the blade while adjusting.

What maintenance does the trimmer require?

After each use, clean the blade with a soft brush and apply light machine oil or spray lubricant along the blade edge. For sap removal, use a resin solvent. Check for dull blades and sharpen as needed. Always remove the battery before maintenance.

Why won't the trimmer start?

4. TRIMMING

Using the Pole Hedge Trimmer

WARNING! ALWAYS WEAR STURDY, NON-SLIP FOOTWEAR, LONG TROUSERS, SAFETY GOGGLES AND GLOVES WHEN USING THE EQUIPMENT. NEVER USE EQUIPMENT BAREFOOT OR IN SANDALS.

WARNING! CLEAR THE AREA TO BE CUT BEFORE EACH USE. REMOVE ALL OBJECTS, SUCH AS CORDS, LIGHTS, WIRE, OR STRING WHICH CAN BECOME ENTANGLED IN THE CUTTING BLADE AND CREATE A RISK OF SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

The pole hedge trimmer is designed for trimming and shaping shrubs, bushes and hedges. The equipment is intended for private use i.e. for use in home and gardening environments. Public facilities, parks, sporting grounds, along roadways, or agriculture and forestry are excluded.

Note: Do not use the pole hedge trimmer for cutting stems greater than ∅16mm. Use the trimmer only for cutting normal shrubbery found around houses and buildings.

• A pole hedge trimmer can be used to cut shrubs and bushes as well as hedges. Never use the pole hedge trimmer to cut grass.
• To obtain the best cutting results, hold the pole hedge trimmer so that the cutter teeth are at an angle of approx. 15^ in relation to the hedge.
• Maintain proper footing and balance. Do not overreach.
• Do not cut hedges when wet. (For best results are achieved when dry).
• The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite directions, thus enabling cutting in both directions.
• To ensure that you cut the hedge to a level height, we recommend tying a guide line of string or similar along the hedge. Cut off all branches that protrude beyond the guide line.

WARNING! IF THE BLADE JAMS ON ANY ELECTRICAL CORD OR LINE, DO NOT TOUCH THE BLADE! IT CAN BECOME ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND VERY DANGEROUS. CONTINUE TO HOLD THE POLE HEDGE TRIMMER BY THE INSULATED REAR HANDLE OR LAY IT DOWN AND AWAY FROM YOU IN A SAFE MANNER. DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL SERVICE TO THE DAMAGED LINE OR CORD BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO FREE THE BLADE. FAILURE TO HEED THIS WARNING MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR POSSIBLE DEATH.

WARNING! BE PARTICULARLY ATTENTIVE WHEN CUTTING ALONG THE GUIDE LINE. DO NOT CUT THROUGH THE GUIDE LINE. THIS COULD GET ENTANGLED IN THE BLADES AND LEAD TO INJURIES OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.

- Working Position

Maintain proper footing and balance and do not overreach. Hold the pole hedge trimmer firmly in both hands before turning the pole hedge trimmer on. Always hold the pole hedge trimmer with one hand on the Sure Grip rear handle and one hand on the soft grip handle.

WARNING! DO NOT OPERATE THE POLE HEDGE TRIMMER ON UNEVEN GROUND IN A TREE, ON A LADDER, FROM A ROOFTOP, OR ANY UNSTABLE SUPPORT, THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

- Trimming new growth

Use a wide sweeping motion, feed the blade teeth through the twigs. A slight downward tilt of the cutting blades in the direction of motion gives the best cutting results.

- Level hedges.

To obtain exceptionally level hedges a piece of string can be stretched along the length of the hedge as a guide.

- Side-trimming hedges

Hold the pole hedge trimmer and begin at the bottom and sweep up.

- Cutting sequence.

First cut both sides, starting at the bottom and work to the top: this prevents cuttings from falling into the area where you are still working.

If the Blade gets Blocked

1. Stop the equipment.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Remove the jammed material from the blade (wear work gloves to prevent injury when you do so).

Run Time

The operating time of the PXC battery (the area that can be covered with a single battery charge) is largely dependent on the state of the shrubbery (e.g. Density, moisture, thickness, etc.) and the hedge trimmer speed (rate of work).

Frequently turning the equipment on and off while hedge trimming will also reduce the amount runtime and area that you can covered. If the operating time of the PXC battery (runtime and area coverage) is still unsatisfactory in spite of the above measures, you can remedy the problem by using PXC battery with a larger capacity (Ah).

WARNING! ALWAYS ENSURE THE POLE HEDGE TRIMMER HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED AND THE BATTERY IS REMOVED PRIOR TO ANY MAINTENANCE.

Sharpening the cutting blade

1. Start and stop your pole hedge trimmer until the cutter blade and the guard are slightly offset.
2. Remove the battery pack from your pole hedge trimmer.
3. Clamp the blade assembly in a vise and file the exposed cutting surface of each blade tooth. Remove as little material as possible.
4. Remove the pole hedge trimmer from the vise and insert the battery pack. Repeat steps 1-3 for the unsharpened edges of the blade teeth.

Note: Do not operate your pole hedge trimmer with dull or damaged cutting blades. This may cause overload and will give unsatisfactory cutting results.

Lubricating the blade

The blade rail should be cleaned and treated with light machine oil or spray lubricant (such as WD40, CRC 5.56 or RP7) after each use. When a job lasts for a longer period of time it is recommended that the blade rail also be treated with spray lubricant at regular intervals during operation.

1. Remove the battery pack from the hedge trimmer.
2. Lay the pole hedge trimmer on a flat surface. Apply a light weight machine oil along the edge of the top blade. If you will be using the hedge trimmer for an extended period it is advisable to stop, remove the battery, and oil the blade before recommencing the task.
3. Remove the battery pack from the hedge trimmer.

Cleaning and Storage

• Use a soft brush to remove debris from all air intakes and the cutting blade.
• To remove sap and other sticky residue, spray the blades with a resin solvent. Run the motor briefly so that the solvent is evenly distributed then wipe the surface with a dry cloth.
• Never use water for cleaning your trimmer. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
• If the trimmer vibrates abnormally, stop motor immediately. Abnormal vibration usually indicates a mechanical problem. Continued operation could lead to injury or damage.
• Always place the blade cover on the blade before storing or transporting the pole hedge trimmer. Use caution to avoid the sharp teeth of the blade.
• When not in use remove the battery and the pole hedge trimmer should be stored in a dry, frost free location not within the reach of children.
• Keep air intake clean and air vents free of debris to avoid overheating the motor.
• Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden chemicals.
• Never store the pole hedge trimmer upright, where it may fall and cause damage. Store in its original packaging if possible.

GENERAL MACHINE SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this machine. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "machine" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) machine or battery-operated (cordless) machine.

1) Work area safety

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

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

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

2) Electrical safety

a) Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) machines. 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 machines to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a machine will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the machine. 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 machine outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

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

5. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to fire. There is a risk of explosion!
6. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries. Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery cells. The most common cause of exhaustive discharge is long-term storage and continued use of low-charge batteries. Always store the battery with some charge. Charge the batteries every 2-3 months to restore charge. Stop working as soon as the performance of the battery falls noticeably by the electronic protection system triggers
7. Protect batteries and the tool from overloads. Overloads will quickly result in overheating and cell damage inside the battery housing without this overheating being apparent externally.
8. Avoid damage and shocks. Do not use batteries which have been dropped from a height of more than one meter or strong external impact, even if the housing of the battery pack appears to be undamaged. The battery cells inside the battery may have suffered serious damage.
9. If the battery pack suffers overloading and overheating, the integrated protective cut-off will switch off the equipment. Do not press the ON/OFF switch on the tool if the protective cut-off has actuated. This may damage the battery pack. Allow the battery to cool to room temperature before use.
10. Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries may result in injuries, explosion and a fire risk.
11. Protect your rechargeable battery against moisture, rain and high humidity. Moisture, rain and high humidity can cause dangerous cell damage. Never charge or use batteries which have been exposed to moisture, rain or high humidity.
12. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack is damaged, do not use the battery.
13. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
14. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If accidental contact occurs, flush with water and seek medical help immediately. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
15. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
16. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130^ C may cause explosion.
17. Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer.
