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 batteries. 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 surface 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 reas-
sembly 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 attempting 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 battery 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.
BATTERY AND CHARGER SAFETY WARNINGS

• Keep air intake clean and air vents free of debris to avoid overheating the motor.
• Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic parts of the tool.
A mild detergent on a damp cloth is recommended. Water must never come into contact with
the tool.
• 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 hedge trimmer. Use
caution to avoid the sharp teeth of the blade.
• Store the hedge trimmer indoors, in a dry place that is inaccessible to children.
WARNING! ALWAYS ENSURE THE TOOL HAS
COMPLETELY STOPPED AND THE BATTERY IS
REMOVED PRIOR TO ANY MAINTENANCE.
Problem Cause Remedy
Trimmer is not
starting
Possible clogging Clean the trimmer blade of any
leaves or debris.
Battery is low in charge Charge battery
Battery not inserted properly Insert battery pack correctly
Trimmer is not

capacity
Possible clogging Clean the trimmer blade of any
leaves or debris.
Motor stops while
trimming
Battery has no power Charge battery
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. This tool is designed for DIY use
- use in commercial or industrial environments will void the warranty.
Read instruction manual
Do not trim in the rain or leave the hedge trimmer outdoors
while raining.
Wear eye protection
Wear ear protection
Regulator compliance mark
Sharpening the cutting blade
1. Start and stop your hedge
trimmer until the cutter blade
and the guard are slightly
offset.
2. Remove the battery pack from
your hedge trimmer.
3. Clamp the blade assembly in a vise and le the exposed cutting surface of each
blade tooth. Remove as
little material as possible.
4. Remove the 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 hedge trimmer with
dull or damaged cutting blades. This may cause
overload and will give unsatisfactory cutting
results.
Lubricating the blade
For best operation and longer blade life, lubricate the hedge trimmer blade with light
weight machine oil before and after each use.
1. Remove the battery pack from the hedge
trimmer.
2. Lay the hedge trimmer on a at surface. Apply
a light weight machine oil along the edge of
the top blade.
WARNING! DO NOT OIL WHILE THE HEDGE TRIMMER
IS RUNNING.

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 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.
This tools charger 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 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.

Top cutting
Use a wide sweeping motion.
A slight downward tilt of the
cutting blades in the direction
of motion gives the best
cutting results.
Side cutting
When trimming the sides of the hedge,
begin at the bottom and cut upwards.
Trim the side of a hedge so that it will
be slightly narrower at the top. This
shape will expose more of the hedge,
resulting in a more uniform growth.
