SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BATTERY & CHARGER SAFETY WARNINGS
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 instruc-
tions 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
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.
This tool is double insulated therefore no earth wire is required.
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.

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 equipment. 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. Mois-
ture, 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 unpredictable 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, electrocu-
tion 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
XU1 Blue 18V rechargeable batteries with an XU1 Blue18V 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.
