DESCRIPTION OF SYMBOLS
TROUBLESHOOTING
• Keep the ventilation vents of the angle grinder clean at all times, if possible,
prevent foreign matter from entering the vents.
• The grease in the gearbox will require replacement / replenishment after
extensive use of the grinder. Please see a qualified electrical repairer to
provide this service.
• After each use, blow air through the angle grinder housing to ensure it is
free from all dust particles which may build up. Build up of dust particles may
cause the angle grinder to overheat and fail.
• If the enclosure of the angle grinder requires cleaning, do not use solvents but
a moist soft cloth only. Never let any liquid get inside the angle grinder; never
immerse any part of the angle grinder into a liquid.
Carbon Brushes
When the carbon brushes wear out, the angle
grinder will spark and/or stop. Discontinue use as
soon as this happens. They should be replaced
prior to recommencing use of the angle grinder.
Carbon brushes are a wearing component of the
angle grinder therefore not covered under warranty.
Continuing to use the angle grinder when carbon
brushes need to be replaced may cause permanent
damage Carbon brushes will wear out after many uses but when the carbon
brushes need to be replaced, take the angle grinder 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 angle grinder by an unauthorised person or by mishandling
of the angle grinder.

to be replaced. Carbon brushes should only be replaced
by a qualified electrician or power tool repairer.
