MAINTENANCE
DESCRIPTION OF SYMBOLS
CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
TROUBLESHOOTING
• 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.
Spare parts can be ordered from the Special Orders Desk
at your local Bunnings Warehouse.

LAMINATE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! When using mains-powered tools, basic safety precautions, including the
following, should always be followed to reduce risk of re, electric shock, personal injury
and material damage.
Readthewholemanualcarefullyandmakesureyouknowhowtoswitchthetooloinanemergency,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 60745-1;
therefore no earth wire is required.
If the supply cord of this power tool is damaged, it must be replaced by a specially prepared cord available
through the service organiszation.
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
suitableforthepowerinputofthetoolorwhichisdamagedordefectivemayresultinariskofreandelectric
shock.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, we recommend the use of a residual current device (rated 30mA or
less).
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
a) Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down. An exposed rotating cutter may engage
the surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.
b) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surface, because the cutter may contact its own cord.
Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator.
c) Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
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
notsuitableforthepowerinputofthetoolorwhichisdamagedofdefectivemayresultinariskofre
and electric shock.
It is recommended that the extension lead is a maximum of 25m in length. Do not use multiple
extension leads.
• Wear safety glasses or goggles when operating this tool.
• Only use router bits with a shank diameter equal to the size of the collet installed in the tool.
• Only use router bits suitable for the no-load speed of the tool.
• Do not use the tool in an inverted position.
• Do not attempt to use the tool in a stationary mode.
• Take special care when cutting MDF or surfaces coated with lead-based paint.
• Wearadustmaskspecicallydesignedforprotectionagainstleadpaintdustandfumesand
ensure that persons within or entering the work area are also protected.
• Do not let children or pregnant women enter the work area.
• Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area.
• Dispose of dust particles and any other debris safely.
• Draw attention to the necessity for using bits of the correct shank diameter suitable for the
speed of the tool.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warningsandinstructionsmayresultinelectricshock,reand/orseriousinjury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings
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 ammable
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.
2. 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. Unmodiedplugsandmatchingoutletswill
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.
3. 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 inuence 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 o-position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
ngerontheswitchorenergisingpowertoolsthathavetheswitchoninvitesaccidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. 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. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. 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.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent
and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and o. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
otherconditionthatmayaectthepowertool’soperation.Ifdamaged,havethepowertoolrepaired
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 the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
foroperationsdierentfromthoseintendedcouldresultinahazardoussituation.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles
and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
