ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BLOWERS

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.
The electric motor 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 tool is double insulated therefore no earth wire is required.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, a residual current device (rated 30mA or less) must be used.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a 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.
Supply cords
shall not be lighter than:
- if rubber insulated, ordinary tough rubber sheathed flexible cord (code designation 60245 IEC 53);
- if polyvinyl chloride insulated, ordinary polyvinyl chloride sheathed flexible cord
(code designation 60227 IEC 53).
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.
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.
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, 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
Always wear adequate protective clothing when operating the tool to avoid injuries to face, eyes,
hand, feet, head or hearing. Use safety glasses or a face shield, high boots or sturdy shoes, long
trousers, work gloves, a hard hat and ear defenders.
Do not start the tool when it is upside down or when it is not in the operating position.
Switch the motor off and remove the plug when the tool is not being used, left unattended, being
cleaned, being moved from one place to another or when the extension cord is entangled or
damaged.
Do not operate the tool near people, especially children or pets. Turn it off if they get too close.
Maintain a safe distance of at least 5m from other people when using the tool.
Never direct the blower direction nozzle towards bystanders or pets. Never blow debris in the
direction of bystanders or pets. The operator is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to
other people or their property.
Do not handle the plug or the tool with wet hands and do not use the tool in the rain.
Use only outdoor rated extension leads that are so marked. Keep the extension cord away from heat,
oil and sharp edges.
Ensure that the extension lead is secured in a manner that prevents it from disconnecting from the
plug whilst in use.
Keep all the air intakes and the blower tube free of dust, lint, hair and other material that may cause a
reduction in air flow.
Keep a balanced and stable stance while using the tool. Do not switch on the tool in enclosed or
poorly ventilated spaces or in the presence of inflammable and/or explosive substances such as
liquids, gasses and powders.
Do not get distracted and always concentrate on what you are doing. Use common sense. Never
operate the tool when you are tired, sick or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.
