GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication.
A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective
equipment such as dust mask, gloves, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-
position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or energising
power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of
the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles.
A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

WARNING!
Read all safety warnings
and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in all of the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.

1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Description of symbols
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.
This tool has been designed for 230V and
240V only. Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Note:
The supply of 230V and 240V on Ozito tools
are interchangeable for Australia and New Zealand.
This tools charger is double insulated in accordance
with AS/NZS 60745-1; therefore no earth wire is
required.
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.
The power supply for this product should be
protected by a residual current device (rated at
30mA or less). A residual current device reduces the
risk of electric shock.
