CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
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.

Before using the charger or battery read all instructions and cautionary markings on the charger, battery pack and the
product using the battery pack. Do not lose these safety instructions.
Battery Warnings
1. The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. First read the safety instructions and then follow the charging
notes and procedures.
2. For optimum battery performance avoid low discharge cycles. Charge the battery pack frequently.
3. Use and store the battery pack in dry conditions with low humidity between 0-50°C, ideally at 15°C. Avoid exposing
battery pack and charger to direct sunlight.
4. Do not keep battery pack in places where temperatures are liable to reach over 50°C, such as in a car, metal shed or
similar that is in direct sunlight.
5. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to fire. There is a risk of explosion!
6. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries. Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery cells. The most common
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 fire 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 fire.
14. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If accidental contact occurs, flush
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 modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredict-
able behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
16. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire 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. 18. Do not disassemble Battery. This may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.
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
fire, electric shock or electrocution.
34. Do not disassemble charger. This may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.
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 inflammable liquids.
BATTERY & CHARGER SAFETY WARNINGS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING!
When using mains-powered tools, basic safety precautions, including the following, should
always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury and material damage.
Read the whole manual carefully and make sure you know how to switch the tool off in an emergency, before
operating the tool. Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future reference.
Note: The supply of 230V and 240V on Ozito tools are interchangeable for Australia and New Zealand.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid hazard.
Note: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating this tool. The insulation
system is for added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
Using an Extension Lead
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power input of this tool. Before use, inspect the extension lead for
signs of damage, wear and ageing. Replace the extension lead if damaged or defective.
When using an extension lead on a reel, always unwind the lead completely. Use of an extension lead not suitable for the
power input of the tool or which is damaged or defective may result in a risk of fire and electric shock.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, we recommend the use of a residual current device (rated 30mA or less).
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use
of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
