The mower is equipped with an audible warning system, which helps to ensure a log service life and improved user experience.

Low Battery:

When the lawn mower batteries are running low, the mower will continuously beep. If this occurs, either charge the current batteries or replace with fully charged batteries.

Overload Protection:

When the lawn mower motor is overloaded, short warning beeps will warn the user and the mower will stop. Release the start/stop lever, remove safety key, batteries and investigate the cause of the overload. Possible causes if this occurs,
Height of cut too low – Adjust the cutting height to a higher setting.
Possible clogging – Check underneath the mower and clear out as necessary. Wet grass – Wait until the grass dries before mowing.
Grass too dense – Raise the cutting height and walk slower.-
Lawn Mowing Tips
Start mowing the edge of the lawn and work along making sure to overlap each pass by a few centimetres. ozito PXBSPMS-0182 Self Propelled Steel Deck
20 When mowing long grass be sure to not overload the motor. First cut with the highest cutting height and then to the desired height. This will help reduce the load. IMPORTANT
DO NOT MOW IN POOR VISIBILITY CONDITIONS, IN THE RAIN OR WHEN GRASS IS WET.

While using your lawn mower always wear substantial closed, heavy footwear and long trousers.
Make sure the lawn is clear of sticks, stones, wire and debris; they could be thrown by the blade.
Before using the lawn mower and after any impact, check for signs of wear or damage and repair as necessary.
Replace a worn or damaged blade together with the blade bolt to preserve balance.
Always ensure that a safe distance is maintained between the user and the mower housing.
Be especially careful when mowing and changing direction on slopes and inclines. Maintain a solid footing.
Always mow along the incline (not up and down). For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be used to mow inclines whose gradient exceeds 15 degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling the lawn mower. Tripping hazard!
Do not overload the mower. Mowing long thick grass may cause the motor speed to drop; you will hear a change in the motor sound. If the motor speed drops you may overload your lawn mower, which may cause damage. When mowing in long thick grass first cut with the cutting height set in the highest position, this will help reduce the load.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING
ALWAYS ENSURE THE LAWN MOWER BLADE HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED, REMOVE SAFETY KEY, BATTERIES AND GRASS CATCHER PRIOR TO ANY MAINTENANCE.
Removing and Fitting the Blade
WARNING
ALWAYS USE GLOVES WHEN HANDLING THE BLADE. SHARP EDGES COULD CAUSE INJURY.
Only replace the blade with a genuine Ozito replacement blade, as this will ensure top performance and safety under all conditions.

To remove the blade bolt, hold the blade firmly and with a 13mm socket loosen the blade bolt by turning it anti-clockwise. NOTE:
A piece of timber will assist in holding the blade while removing or tightening the blade bolt.
Remove the blade bolt and blade.
Replace the metal blade after 50 hours mowing or 2 years whichever is sooner. If the blade is cracked or damaged replace it with a new one.
To fit the blade, place the blade over the centre hole aligning the different shaped lugs.
NOTE:
The shape of the lugs prevent the blade from fitting in the wrong direction.
Then retighten the fastening bolt with the universal wrench. The tightening torque should be approx. 25 Nm.

Cleaning, Maintenance and Storage

Remove build up of grass in the grass chute.
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.

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. Before you connect the charger to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an electrician or a power tool repairer in order to avoid a hazard. The power supply for this products charger should be protected by a residual current device (rated at 30mA or less). A residual current device reduces the risk of electric shock.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

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 the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.
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.

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.
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 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, 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.

Power tool use and care

a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Battery tool use and care

a. Recharge only with the charger speciﬁed by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
b. Use power tools only with speciﬁcally designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c. 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.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ﬂush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
e. 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.
f. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to ﬁre or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
g. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range speciﬁed in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

Service

a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualiﬁed repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b. Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service provider.

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
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.
Protect the battery charger and its cable from damage and sharp edges. Have damaged cables repaired by an authorised service agent before use.
Keep the battery charger, batteries and the cordless tool out of children’s reach.
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.
