• 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.
Spare parts can be ordered from the Special Orders Desk
at your local Bunnings Warehouse.
