INSERTING & REMOVING THE BATTERY

Inserting the Battery

Align the ribs of the battery with the recess below the handle and push in until it clicks into place.

Removing the Battery

Press and hold the battery release tab as you slide the battery out.

Run Time

The operating time of the PXC battery (the area that can be covered with a single battery charge) is largely dependent on the state of the grass (e.g. Density, moisture, height, etc.) and the rate of work (walking speed).
Frequently turning the equipment on and off while trimming will also reduce the runtime and area that you can cover. If the operating time of the PXC battery (area coverage) is still unsatisfactory in spite of the above measures, you can remedy the problem by using PXC batteries with a larger capacity (Ah).

OPERATION

CONTROLS

WARNING! BEFORE YOU START THE UNIT, MAKE SURE THAT THE LINE TRIMMER IS NOT MAKING CONTACT WITH ANY OBJECTS.

Switching On & Off

Press and hold the safety switch then squeeze the on/off trigger to start the line trimmer.
To stop the line trimmer, release the on/off trigger.

WARNING! DO NOT OPERATE THE LINE TRIMMER ON A TREE, ON A LADDER, OR ON SCAFFOLD. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

Bump Line Feed

The line trimmer is fitted with a bump feed function which allows the line to be fed without stopping the line trimmer. If the line trimmer is not cutting correctly the line may need to be fed using this feature.

While the line trimmer is still on, simply bump the head of the trimmer on the ground to allow the line to feed out.
The bump feed will automatically lock once off the ground so that the line will stop feeding.

If the line does not feed out, check if there is any tangles in the line or if the line needs to be replenished. Refer to “Replacing the spool/ clearing jams and tangled lines” section and follow the instructions as needed.
WARNING! DO NOT BUMP THE HEAD ON ANY HARD SURFACES SUCH AS CONCRETE OR BRICK, THIS COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE LINE TRIMMER.

USING THE LINE TRIMMER

WARNING! ALWAYS WEAR STURDY, NON-SLIP FOOTWEAR, LONG TROUSERS, SAFETY GLASSES AND HEARING PROTECTION WHEN USING THE EQUIPMENT.
NEVER USE THE EQUIPMENT BAREFOOT OR IN SANDALS.
The line trimmer is designed for cutting lawns and grassed areas. The equipment is intended for private use i.e. for use in home and gardening environments.
Public facilities, parks, sporting grounds, along roadways, or agriculture and forestry are excluded.
WARNING! INSPECT THE AREA TO BE TRIMMED AND REMOVE ANY WIRE, CORD OR STRING-LIKE OBJECTS WHICH COULD BECOME ENTANGLED IN THE ROTATING SPOOL & LINE.
WARNING! STONES, PIECES OF METAL AND OTHER OBJECTS CAN BE THROWN OUT AT HIGH SPEED BY THE CUTTING LINE.
Hold the trimmer with both handles for best control and balance.
Do not push the line against hard material (rocks or concrete) during cutting as this may result in damaged line.
Never use the line trimmer without its safety devices.
Do not cut grass that is wet (The best results are achieved on dry grass).
Wait until the line trimmer reaches full speed before cutting the grass.
Keep the line trimmer away from hard objects in order to avoid unnecessary wear to the line.
Several passes will be required to cut long grass as shown.
To prevent the line from breaking ensure you approach the edge/object slowly.
Watch out for kickbacks in the event of impact with hard objects.
After finishing the cutting operation, keep the head close to ground level, release the on/off trigger and allow the motor to come to a complete standstill. Remove battery and place the line trimmer on the ground.
Keep ventilation slots of the trimmer clean at all times. Periodically clean out the grass from the cutting head and the rim of the safety guard to ensure efficient operation at all times.
WARNING! DO NOT CONTINUALLY TAP, BUMP OR HOLD THE CUTTER HEAD ON THE GROUND AS THIS MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE SPOOL HOLDER OR OVERLOAD THE UNIT.
WARNING! BYSTANDERS MUST KEEP A MINIMUM SAFE DISTANCE OF 15M AWAY ROM THE LINE TRIMMER WHILE IT IS OPERATING.

Trimming

Move the line trimmer from side to side as you walk forward, holding it at an angle of approx.
30° (Light cuts are better than heavy cuts as they allow the cut grass to fall away from the cutting head).
Use only the tip of the cutting line to do the trimming especially near walls and fences. Trimming with the side of the cutting line may overload the motor, wear out the line faster, and break the line more often.

Edging

Place the Guide Wheels along the ground and slid the line trimmer along the edge of the footpath, driveway etc.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING! ALWAYS ENSURE THE LINE TRIMMER HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED AND THE BATTERY IS REMOVED PRIOR TO ANY MAINTENANCE.

Replacing the Spool/Clearing Jams and Tangled Lines
From time to time, especially when cutting thick or stocky weeds, the line cutter spool housing may become clogged with sap or other material and the line will become jammed as a result. To clear the jam, follow these steps.

Turn off the line trimmer and remove the battery.
Press the release tabs on the line spool cover and remove the cover by pulling it straight off.
Lift the spool of nylon line out of the spool housing and clear any broken line or cutting debris from the spool area.
- Note: Take care not to misplace the spring.
In case of jams and tangled line, unwrap about 15cm of line to ensure that it is undamaged
If it is OK, insert the spool into the spool housing and thread the end of the line through the eyelet.
Unclip the end of the line if necessary by pully the line sharply to release it from the notch.
Snap the spool cover back onto the spool housing ensuring the spring is in place.
Turn the line trimmer back to its normal orientation, insert the battery and turn the line trimmer on. If the length of the line is excessive, you’ll hear it being cut automatically to the proper length.

Winding New Line onto Empty Spool

Replacement Ø1.6mm bulk line for your line trimmer is available from your local dealer. To install, follow steps:

Remove the spool as described in steps 1 – 3 of the “Replacing the spool/clearing jams and tangled lines” section.
Using Ø1.6mm line, cut a length of line approximately 5m long. Only use Ø1.6mm replacement line, anything larger will cause stress on the motor and will void the warranty.
Thread the end of the line into the hole in the spool and hold in place
Wind the line around the spool in the direction of the arrow on the top of the spool. Make sure to wind the line on neatly and in layers. Do not cross the line as this will stop it from feeding.
When the length of line is wound onto the spool place the end of the line into the clips in the outside of the spool. Leaving about 15cm protruding from the spool. Do this to ensure that the line doeas not unravel while the spool is being loaded.
Re-fit the line & spool as described in steps 5-8 of the “Replacing the spool/clearing jams and tangled lines” section.

Cleaning, Storage & Transport

Keep air vents of the line trimmer clear or debris to prevent overheating. After each use, blow air through the vents to ensure it is free from a build up of grass, dust or dirt particles.
Periodically clean out the grass from the cutting head and the rim of the safety guard to ensure efficient operation at all times.
If the housing of the trimmer requires cleaning, do not use solvents but a moist soft cloth or soft brush only.
Never let any liquid get inside the machine, never immerse any part of the line trimmer into liquid.
No lubrication is necessary as the line trimmer has sealed bearings.
When not in use, the line trimmer should be stored in a dry, frost free location not within the reach of children.
Switch the machine off and remove the batteries before transporting it.
Always carry the tool with both handles. Do not carry the line trimmer by the motor housing.
Secure the machine against slipping if transporting in vehicles.
Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries caused by repair of the line trimmer by an unauthorised person or by mishandling. This machinel is designed for DIY use – use in commercial or industrial environments will void the warranty.

GENERAL MACHINE SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this machine. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “machine” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) machine or battery-operated (cordless) machine.

Work area safety
- a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
- b ) Do not operate machines in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Machines create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
- c ) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a machine. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
- a) Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) machines. 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 machines to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a machine will increase the risk of electric shock.
- d ) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the machine. 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 machine 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.
Personal safety
- a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a machine. Do not use a machine while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating machines may result in serious personal injury.

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

The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. First read the safety instructions and then follow the charging notes and procedures.
For optimum battery performance avoid low discharge cycles. Charge the battery pack frequently.
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.
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.
Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to fire. There is a risk of explosion!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries may result in injuries, explosion and a fire risk.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer.
Do not disassemble Battery. This may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.
- Charger Warnings

Do not use damaged battery chargers.
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.
The battery pack may become warm during use. Allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature before commencing with the charging.
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.
Charge the battery pack in dry conditions with low humidity between 10-40°C. Avoid exposing battery pack and charger to direct sunlight.
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.
Never fully discharge the battery pack. A complete discharge of the battery pack will lead to premature ageing of the battery cells.
Never charge the batteries unsupervised.
Do not cover or place any object on top of the charger, place the charger away from heat sources.
To reduce risk of damage to the electric plug and cord, pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger.
Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
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.
Do not disassemble charger. This may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.
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.
Do not use the cordless tool or the battery charger near vapours and inflammable liquids.
