Read and understand the manual prior to operating this 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 is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified electrician or a power tool
repairer in order to avoid a hazard.
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.
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 increase the risk of fire and electric shock.
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing an Ozito 4 in 1 Garden Pack. We
aim to provide quality tools at an affordable price. We hope you
will enjoy using this tool for many years.
Your Ozito LT4-1000 4 in 1 Garden Pack has been designed with
a “Quick Change” shaft that can be disengaged for adding on
accessories; brushcutter, pole hedge trimmer, pole pruning saw
and line trimmer. This product is intended for DIY use only.
WARNING! When using mains-powered equipment, basic safety precautions,
including the following, should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric
shock, personal injury and material damage.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY

6
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 all of the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

7
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.
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 off. 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 other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool 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 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 for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
b) If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS (cont).
CHAINSAW SAFETY WARNINGS
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.
Recommendations for the use of a residual current device with a rated residual
current of 30mA or less.
• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chain saw is
operating. Before you start the chain saw, make sure the saw chain is not
contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating chain saws may
cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
• Always hold the chain saw with your right hand on the rear handle and
your left hand on the front handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed
hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury and should never be
done.
• Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equip-
ment for head, hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective
clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental contact with
the saw chain.
• Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of a chain saw while up in a
tree may result in personal injury.
• Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when stand-
ing on fixed, secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as
ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain saw.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When
the tension in the wood fibres is released the spring loaded limb may strike the
operator and/or throw the chain saw out of control.
• Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material
may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
• Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw switched off
and away from your body. When transporting or storing the chain saw
always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce
the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.

12
CHAINSAW SAFETY WARNINGS (cont).
• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for
kickback.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slip-
pery causing loss of control.
• Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not intended. For example:
do not use chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials.
Use of the chain saw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
Kickback
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the
wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide
bar up and back towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly
back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in seri-
ous personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw. As a
chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or
injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
• Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles, with
both hands on the saw and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are
taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.
• Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. This helps prevent unintend-
ed tip contact and enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected situations.
• Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replace-
ment bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
Push Back
Push back will occur if an attempt is made to saw with the top of the guide bar, if the chain
touches against a rigid object and jams in the cut.
Pull Forward
If the bucking spikes are not set against the timber, the chain at the bottom of the guide bar
will pull the saw forward; this can jam the chain in the timber.
To avoid this always have the bucking spikes set against the timber when performing
a cut.
