INTRODUCTION
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3
Warning! When using mains-powered tools, basic safety precautions, including
the following, should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock,
personal injury and material damage.
Read the whole manual carefully and make sure you know how to switch the tool
off, in an emergency, before operating the tool.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future reference.
The electric motor has been designed for 230V and 240V only. Always check that
the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Note: The supply of 230V and 240V on Ozito tools are interchangeable for
Australia and New Zealand.
This tool is double insulated in accordance with AS/NZS 3100: 2002;
therefore no earth wire is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an electrician or a
power tool repairer in order to avoid a hazard.
Note: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when
operating this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury
resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
Using an Extension Lead
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power input of this tool.
Before use, inspect the extension lead for signs of damage, wear and ageing.
Replace the extension lead if damaged or defective.
When using an extension lead on a reel, always unwind the lead completely. Use of
an extension lead not suitable for the power input of the tool or which is damaged
or defective may result in a risk of fire and electric shock.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

GENERAL
1. Keep work areas clean. Cluttered work areas and benches can cause accidents.
2. Consider work area environment. Do not expose your tool to high humidity or
rain. Do not use your tool in damp and wet conditions. Keep the work area well lit.
Do not use your tool where there is a risk of causing fire or explosion, e.g. in the
presence of flammable liquids and gases.
3. Keep children away. Do not allow children, visitors or animals to come near the
work area or to touch the tool or power lead.
4. Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these can be
caught in moving parts. Preferably wear non-slip footwear when working outdoors.
Wear protective hair covering to keep long hair out of the way.
5. Head protection. Always use safety glasses. Use a face or dust mask whenever the
operations may produce dust or flying particles. Wear ear protection whenever the
sound level seems uncomfortable.
6. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators). Electric safety can be further
improved by using a high sensitivity (30 mA / 30 mS) residual current device (RCD).
7. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
8. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the
tool when you are tired.
9. Secure work piece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the work piece; it is safer as it
frees both hands to operate the tool.
10. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Always check that adjusting keys and
wrenches are removed from the tool before operating the tool.
11. Extension leads. Before use inspect the extension leads and replace if damaged.
When using the tool outdoors, only use extension leads intended for outdoor use
and marked accordingly.
12. Use appropriate tool. The intended use is described in this instruction manual.
Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job of a heavy duty tool. The
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended. Do not
force the tool.
Warning! The use of any accessory or attachment, or performance of any
operation with this tool other than those recommended in this instruction manual
may present a risk of personal injury.
13. Check for damaged parts. Before use carefully check the tool and power lead for
damage. Check for misalignment and seizure of moving parts, breakage of parts,
damage to guards and switches and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. Ensure that the tool will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Do not use the tool if any parts are damaged or defective. Do not use
the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Have any damaged or defective
parts repaired or replaced by an electrician or a power tool repairer. Never
attempt any repairs yourself.
