TROUBLESHOOTING

Power tools that are no longer usable should not be disposed of 

with household waste but in an environmentally friendly way. Please 

recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local council authority 

for recycling advice.

Recycling packaging reduces the need for landfill and raw materials. 

Reuse of recycled material decreases pollution in the environment. 

Please recycle packaging where facilities exist. Check with your 

local council authority for recycling advice.

• When not in use, the Hedge Trimmer should be stored in a dry, frost free 

location not within the reach of children.

• Keep ventilation slots of the Hedge Trimmer clean at all times and prevent any 

foreign matter from entering.

• If the enclosure of the Hedge Trimmer requires cleaning do not use solvents 

but a moist cloth only.

• There are no user serviceable parts in the Hedge Trimmer; if a fault is 

suspected or the supply cord requires replacement, return the Trimmer to a 

power tool repairer.

• 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 hedge trimmer will spark and/or stop. 

Discontinue use as soon as this happens. They should be replaced prior to 

recommencing use of the hedge trimmer. Carbon 

brushes are a wearing component of the hedge 

trimmer therefore not covered under warranty. 

Continuing to use the hedge trimmer when carbon 

brushes need to be replaced may cause permanent 

damage to the hedge trimmer. Carbon brushes 

will wear out after many uses but when the carbon 

brushes need to be replaced, take the hedge trimmer 

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 hedge trimmer by an unauthorised person or by 

mishandling of the hedge trimmer. This tool is designed for DIY use - use in 

commercial or industrial environments will void the warranty.
