Run Time
The operating time of the PXC battery (the area that can be covered
with a single battery charge) is largely dependent on the state of the
grass (e.g. Density, moisture, height, etc.) and the rate of work (walking
speed).
Frequently turning the equipment on and off while trimming will also
reduce the runtime and area that you can cover. If the operating time
of the PXC battery (area coverage) is still unsatisfactory in spite of the
above measures, you can remedy the problem by using PXC batteries
with a larger capacity (Ah).
2.To stop the line trimmer,
release the on/off trigger.
WARNING! DO NOT BUMP THE HEAD ON ANY HARD
SURFACES SUCH AS CONCRETE OR BRICK, THIS
COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE LINE TRIMMER.

WARNING! INSPECT THE AREA TO BE TRIMMED AND
REMOVE ANY WIRE, CORD OR STRING-LIKE OBJECTS
WHICH COULD BECOME ENTANGLED IN THE ROTATING
SPOOL & LINE.
• Hold the trimmer with both handles for best control and balance.
• Do not push the line against hard material (rocks or concrete) during
cutting as this may result in damaged line.
• Never use the line trimmer without its safety devices.
•. Do not cut grass that is wet (The best results are achieved on dry
grass).
•. Wait until the line trimmer reaches full speed before cutting the
grass.
• Keep the line trimmer away from hard objects in order to avoid
unnecessary wear to the line.
• Several passes will be
required to cut long grass as
shown.
• To prevent the line from
breaking ensure you approach
the edge/object slowly.
• Watch out for kickbacks in
the event of impact with hard
objects.
• After finishing the cutting
operation, keep the head
close to ground level, release the on/off trigger and allow the motor
to come to a complete standstill. Remove battery and place the line
trimmer on the ground.
• Keep ventilation slots of the trimmer clean at all times. Periodically

PRIOR TO ANY MAINTENANCE.
Replacing the Spool/Clearing Jams and Tangled
Lines
From time to time, especially when cutting thick or stocky weeds, the line cutter
spool housing may become clogged with sap or other material and the line will
become jammed as a result. To clear the jam, follow these steps.
1. Turn off the line trimmer and
remove the battery.
2. Press the release tabs on the line
spool cover and remove the cover
by pulling it straight off.
3. Lift the spool of nylon line out of
the spool housing and clear any
broken line or cutting debris from
the spool area.
Note: Take care not to misplace
the spring.
4. In case of jams and tangled line,
unwrap about 15cm of line to
ensure that it is undamaged.
5. If it is OK, insert the spool into
the spool housing and thread the
end of the line through the eyelet.
6. Unclip the end of the line if
necessary by pully the line
sharply to release it from the
notch.
7. Snap the spool cover back onto
the spool housing ensuring the
spring is in place.
8. Turn the line trimmer back to its normal orientation, insert the battery and turn
the line trimmer on. If the length of the line is excessive, you’ll hear it being
cut automatically to the proper length.
Winding New Line onto Empty Spool
Replacement Ø1.6mm bulk line for your line trimmer is available from your local
dealer. To install, follow steps:
1. Remove the spool as described in steps 1 - 3 of the “Replacing the
spool/clearing jams and tangled lines” section.
2. Using Ø1.6mm line, cut a length of line approximately 5m long. Only use
Ø1.6mm replacement line, anything larger will cause stress
on the motor and will
void the warranty.
3. Thread the end of the line into
the hole in the spool and hold
in place
4. Wind the line around the spool
in the direction of the arrow on
the top of the spool. Make sure
to wind the line on neatly and in
layers. Do not cross the line as
this will stop it from feeding.
5. When the length of line is wound
onto the spool place the end
of the line into the clips in the
outside of the spool. Leaving
about 15cm protruding from the
spool. Do this to ensure that the
line doeas not unravel while the
spool is being loaded.
6. Re-t the line & spool as described in steps 5-8 of the “Replacing the
spool/clearing jams and tangled lines” section.
Cleaning, Storage & Transport
• Keep air vents of the line trimmer clear or debris to prevent overheating. After
each use, blow air through the vents to ensure it is free from a build up of
grass, dust or dirt particles.
• Periodically clean out the grass from the cutting head and the rim of the
safety guard to ensure efcient operation at all times.
• If the housing of the trimmer requires cleaning, do not use solvents but a
moist soft cloth or soft brush only.
• Never let any liquid get inside the machine, never immerse any part of the
line trimmer into liquid.

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 MACHINE SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this machine. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “machine” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) machine or battery-operated (cordless) machine.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate machines in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Machines create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a machine. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) machines. Unmodied 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 machines to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a machine will increase the risk of electric
shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the machine.
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 machine 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 machine. Do
not use a machine while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating machines may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a 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 machine. Carrying machines with your
nger on the switch or energising machines that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the machine on. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
machine in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing 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 machines allow you to become complacent
and ignore machine safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Machine use and care
a) Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine for your application. The correct machine will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any machine that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the machine before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
machines. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the machine accidentally.
d) Store idle machines out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
machine or these instructions to operate the machine. Machines are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e) Maintain machines and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the machine’s operation. If
damaged, have the machine repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained machines.
f) Keep cutting machines sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting machines with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the machine, accessories and machine bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the machine for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
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 machine in unexpected situations.
5) Battery machine use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. 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 machines only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and re.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a re.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or machine that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modied batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in re, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or machine to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to re or
temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or machine outside the
temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specied
range may damage the battery and increase the risk of re.
6) Service
a) Have your machine serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the machine is maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or
authorized service providers.

cause of exhaustive discharge is long-term storage and continued use of low-charge batteries. Always store the
battery with some charge. Charge the batteries every 2-3 months to restore charge. Stop working as soon as the
performance of the battery falls noticeably or the electronic protection system triggers.
7. Protect batteries and the tool from overloads. Overloads will quickly result in overheating and cell damage inside
the battery housing without this overheating being apparent externally.
8. Avoid damage and shocks. Do not use batteries which have been dropped from a height of more than one meter or
strong external impact, even if the housing of the battery pack appears to be undamaged. The battery cells inside
the battery may have suffered serious damage. 
9. If the battery pack suffers overloading and overheating, the integrated protective cut-off will switch off the equip-
ment. Do not press the ON/OFF switch on the tool if the protective cut-off has actuated. This may damage the
battery pack. Allow the battery to cool to room temperature before use.
10. Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries may result in injuries, explosion and a re risk.
11. Protect your rechargeable battery against moisture, rain and high humidity. Moisture, rain and high humidity can
cause dangerous cell damage. Never charge or use batteries which have been exposed to moisture, rain or high
humidity.
12. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack is damaged, do not
use the battery.
13. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or
other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a re.
14. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If accidental contact occurs, ush
with water and seek medical help immediately. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
15. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modied. Damaged or modied batteries may exhibit unpredict-
able behaviour resulting in re, explosion or risk of injury.
16. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or excessive temperature. Exposure to re or temperature above 130°C
may cause explosion.
17. Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer.
18. Do not disassemble Battery. This may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or re.
Charger Warnings
19. Please check the data marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Ensure to only connect the battery charger
to a power supply with the voltage marked on the rating plate.
20. Protect the battery charger and its cable from damage and sharp edges. Have damaged cables repaired by an
authorised service agent before use.
21. Keep the battery charger, batteries and the cordless tool out of children’s reach.
22. Do not use damaged battery chargers.
23. Do not use the supplied battery charger to charge other cordless tools. Only charge Ozito Power X Change
rechargeable batteries with an Ozito Power X Change Charger.
24. The battery pack may become warm during use. Allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature before
commencing with the charging.
25. Do not over-charge batteries. Do not exceed the maximum charging times. These charging times only apply to
discharged batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged or partly charged battery pack will result in over-charging and
cell damage. Do not leave fully charged batteries in the charger.
26. Charge the battery pack in dry conditions with low humidity between 10-40°C. Avoid exposing battery pack and
charger to direct sunlight.
27. Do not use batteries which have suffered deformation during the charging process or shows any other signs of
abnormalities including, excessive curvature of the housing, gassing, hissing or cracking.
28. Never fully discharge the battery pack. A complete discharge of the battery pack will lead to premature ageing of
the battery cells.
29. Never charge the batteries unsupervised.
30. Do not cover or place any object on top of the charger, place the charger away from heat sources.
31. To reduce risk of damage to the electric plug and cord, pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the
charger.
32. Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or
stress.
33. An extension cord should not be used unless necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in the risk of
re, electric shock or electrocution.
34. Do not disassemble charger. This may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or re.
35. 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.
36. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery charger near vapours and inammable liquids.
