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 charger 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.
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 re and electric
shock.
The power supply for this products charger should be protected by a residual current device (rated at 30mA
or less). A residual current device reduces the risk of electric shock.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR
BATTERY CHARGER.
1. Before using the charger read all instructions and cautionary markings on the
charger, battery pack and the product using the battery pack.
2. This charger is not intended for any uses other than charging rechargeable bat-
teries. Any other use may result in risk of re, electric shock or electrocution.
3. Do not place any object on top of the charger or place the charger on a soft sur-
face that may result in excessive internal heat. Place the charger in a position
away from any heat source.
4. To reduce risk of damage to the electric plug and cord, pull by the plug rather
than the cord when disconnecting the charger.
5. Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or
otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
6. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an
improper extension cord could result in the risk of re, electric shock or electrocution.
7. Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or
otherwise damaged in any way. Have it checked by an electrician or power tool
repairer.
8. Do not disassemble charger. Take it to an electrician or power tool repairer
when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock, electrocution or re.
9. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before at-
tempting any cleaning. Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.
10. Never attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
11. DO NOT store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature
may reach or exceed 40ºC (such as inside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
12. The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (240
volts). Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage!
13. The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. First read the safety
instructions and then follow the charging notes and procedures.
14. The longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is
charged when the air temperature is between 18 - 24ºC. Do not charge the bat-
tery pack in an air temperature below 10ºC or above 40ºC. This is important and
will prevent damage to the battery pack.
15. Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously damaged or is completely
worn out. The battery can explode in a re.
16. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the
battery pack breaks or cracks, immediately discontinue use and do not recharge.
17. During charging, the battery must be placed in a well ventilated area.
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
tool.
a. . Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b.
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a.
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b.
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
d.
Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
e. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f.
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a.
A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c.
Carrying power tools with your
nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
a. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c.
Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e.
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g.
Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5. Battery tool use and care
a. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another battery pack.
b. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and re.
c.
