MAINTENANCE
• When not in use, the Pole Hedge Trimmer should be stored in a dry,
frost free location not within the reach of children.
• Keep ventilation slots of the Pole Hedge Trimmer clean at all times
and prevent any foreign matter from entering.
• If the enclosure of the Pole Hedge Trimmer requires cleaning do not
use solvents but a moist cloth only.
• There are no user serviceable parts in the Pole Hedge Trimmer; if a
fault is suspected, please contact Ozito customer service.
• If the supply cord requires replacement, please take your Pole Hedge
Trimmer to an authorized power tool repairer/ electrician to repair the
damaged cord.
• The blade rail should be cleaned and treated with light machine oil
or spray lubricant (such as WD40, CRC 5.56 or RP7) after each use.
When a job lasts for a longer period of time it is recommended that
the blade rail also be treated with spray lubricant at regular intervals
during operation.
Carbon brushes
When the carbon brushes wear out the
tool will spark and/or stop. Discontinue
use as soon as this happens.
They should be replaced prior to
recommencing use of the tool.
Carbon brushes are a wearing
component of the tool and therefore
not covered under warranty. Continuing
to use the tool when carbon brushes
need to be replaced may cause permanent damage to the tool. Carbon
brushes will wear out after many uses but when the carbon brushes
need to be replaced take the tool 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 tool by an unauthorised person or by
mishandling of the tool. This tool is designed for Domestic Home Use
only. Use in commercial or industrial environments will void the warranty.
