GENERAL SAFETY RULES

Warning! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed belowmay result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" inall of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) powertool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Save these instructions

1) Work area

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in thepresence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparkswhich 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 anyway. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the 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 electricshock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering apower tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling orunplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges ormoving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable foroutdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense whenoperating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or underthe influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention whileoperating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment suchas a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection usedfor appropriate conditions will reduce the risk of personal injuries.

c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position beforeplugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging inpower tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES (cont.)

5

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. Awrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result inpersonal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enablesbetter control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothingand gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can getcaught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collectionfacilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devicescan 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 powertool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power supply and/or the battery pack from thepower tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storingpower tools. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting thepower tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow personsunfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the powertool. 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'soperation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Manyaccidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharpcutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with theseinstructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool,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 ahazardous situation.

BATTERY & CHARGING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATINGINSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR BATTERY CHARGER.

• Before using the charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on thecharger, the battery pack and the product using the battery pack.

Danger! If the battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insertinto charger. There is a danger of electric shock or electrocution.

Warning! Don’t allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock mayresult. To facilitate cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid placing thecharger or battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal shed, oran uninsulated trailer.

• This charger is not intended for any uses other than charging rechargeablebatteries. Any other use may result in the risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.

• Do not place any objects on top of the battery or charging stand whilst it'sbeing charged, doing so may result in excessive internal heat. Place the batteryand charging stand away from other heat sources when recharging the battery.

• To reduce the risk of damage to the transformer and cord, pull by thetransformer rather than the cord when disconnecting the transformer from thepower supply (power point).

• Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, orotherwise subjected to damage or stress.

• An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of animproper extension cord could result in the risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.

• Do not operate the transformer and stand if they have received a sharp blow,been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way.

• Do not disassemble the transformer or charging stand if service or repair isrequired. Incorrect reassembling may result in a risk of electric shock,electrocution or fire. New chargers can be obtained through Ozito by your localBunnings special orders desk.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the transformer from the socketoutlet before attempting any cleaning.

• Never attempt to connect 2 separate transformers together.

• DO NOT store or use the battery in locations where the temperature may reachor exceed 40ºC (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).

• The transformer is designed to operate on standard household electrical power(230 – 240 volts). Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage.

• The longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery ischarged when the air temperature is between 18 - 24ºC. Do not charge thebattery in an air temperature below 10º C or above 40º C. This is importantand will prevent damage.

• Do not incinerate battery even if it is seriously damaged or completely wornout. Batteries can explode in a fire.

• Never attempt to open batteries for any reason. If the plastic housing breaks orcracks, immediately discontinue use and do not recharge.

Charging the Battery

The air pump has been shipped in a low charge condition. First read the safetyinstructions and then follow the charging procedures.

Plug the AC charger adaptor (17) in an appropriate AC poweroutlet and switch on at the mains.

Insert the charger jack (14) into the charger cradle socket (15) (Fig.1).

With the 12V battery pack (5) sitting flat on a bench/table, placethe recess of the charging cradle over the battery terminal ensuring a firm connection (Fig.2). Upon proper contact, the redlight will illuminate.

NOTE: The 12V battery pack (5) fitsone way only. Ensure the “+”and “-” markings on the recess side of the cradle are matched tothose of the battery terminal.

The 12V battery pack (5) will take approximately 3-5 hours to charge. This may vary upto 7 hours due to the level of charge left in the batteries and also the ambient temperature.

Once the 12V battery pack (5) is fully charged, it is recommended that the charger isdisconnected from the power supply.

NOTE: When the 12V battery pack (5) charge runs out after continuous use orexposure to direct sunlight or heat, allow time for the 12V battery pack (5) to cooldown before recharging to achieve the full charge.

Removing / Installing 12V Battery Pack to the Air Pump Handle

Always switch off the air pump before insertion or removal of the12V battery pack (5).

Locate the latches on the sides of the 12V battery pack (5) anddepress. Pull the 12V battery pack (5) from the handle of the airpump (Fig.3).

After recharging, slide the 12V battery pack (5) into the handle ofthe air pump; ensure the battery pack release buttons (4) oneither side of the 12V battery pack (5) click into place and the12V battery pack (5) is secured prior to using the air pump.

Note: Do not use force when inserting the 12V battery pack (5). If the 12V batterypack (5) does not slide in easily; it is not being inserted correctly.

Battery

The length of service from each charging will depend on the type of work being performed.

the 12V battery pack (5) in the air pump has been designed to provide maximumtrouble free life. However, like all batteries, they will eventually wear out. To obtain thelongest possible battery life, we suggest the following:

• Store and charge the 12V battery pack (5) in a cool area. Temperatures above orbelow normal room temperature will shorten battery life.

• Never store the air pump in a discharged condition. Recharge the 12V battery pack(5) immediately after having been discharged.

• All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature, the quickerthey lose their charge. If you store your air pump for long periods of time withoutusing it, recharge the batteries every two or three months. This practice willprolong battery life.

Inserting/Removing Accessories

Remove the accessory adaptor (10,11,12) from the accessoriesholder (6) at the base of the air pump. Hold the brass section ofthe flexible extension hose (9) stationary, while screwing in themale threaded end of the accessory clockwise until finger tight.

NOTE: Do not use pliers or multigrips to tighten accessories asthis action risks stripping the thread, also take care not to ‘cross-thread’, doing so willnot be covered under the warranty.

Cross threading is when the male and female threaded connectors are not alignedcorrectly and have been force-screwed together, damaging the thread.

Turning On/Off

To lock, slide the safety-lock switch (8) to the left-hand position(“lock”). To unlock, slide the safety-lock switch (8) to the righthand position (“unlock”). To turn the air pump on, squeeze theon/off safety lock switch (8) is in the “unlock” position. To turnoff, release the on/off switch (7).

Inflating

• The air pump should not be operated for extended periods of time without beingallowed to cool.

• Operate the air pump for a maximum of 10 minute intervals, and then allow to restfor 10 minutes. If the air pump is used continuously for long periods, this couldcause the pump piston within the air pump to over heat and prematurely wear out.

• Know the manufacturer’s recommended value of pressure for the target objectbefore inflating. Follow the recommended values.

Ozito Industries will not be responsible for damage caused to targets by the useradministering incorrect pressure levels. This will void the warranty.

• To attach the pump to the target object. Hold the brass section of the flexibleextension hose (9) end, align it with the male threaded end of the target object’svalve, and screw in clockwise until finger tight. Do not use pliers or multigrips toconnect the valves.

• Ensure there are no leakage problems with the connection between the air pumpand the target.

Note: If the target object is already pressurised, some air leakage may occur while inprocess of fully attaching and creating a seal. In this case it is important to work quicklyto avoid excessive loss of air / pressure.

• Unlock the safety lock switch (8), and turn the air pump on to begin inflating of thetarget object.

• Periodically, release the on/off switch (7), check the air pressure gauge (3) (see AirPressure Gauge section - Pg10) and squeeze the target object to judge the level of inflation.

• After use, reactivate the safety lock switch (8) to avoid accidental start-up.

• To remove the pump from the target object, reverse the attaching procedure.

Inflating Tyres

Most tyre valves will connect directly with the flexible extension hose’s (9) brassfitting but some tyres may have specialised valves in which case , one of the brassaccessory adaptors (10, 11) provided may need to be used.

Inflating other objects

To inflate other pneumatic toys, sport balls, gym balls and blow up beach/poolapparatuses etc. with air, use the general inflating adaptor (12) or ball adaptor (10),following the instructions on the relevant apparatus.

Air Pressure Gauge

An air pressure gauge (3) is included in the rear of the airpump, this can be used as a guide for inflation.

• Connect and pump the target as previously described.

• Release the on/off switch (7) (so the pump ceases to operate).

• To gain a true indication of pressure, leave the air pumpconnected to the target object. Now look squarely intothe gauge dial to attain the pressure reading.

Note: Looking at the gauge dial at an angle with give false readings. Pressuregauge readings will not be accurate when the air pump is switched on, only takefinal readings when the switch has been released.

• To prevent dirt, dust and other debris from entering the air pump, ensure theventilation slots of the air pump are clean and clear of the ground and allfittings are clean.

• Should the air pump not be used for prolonged periods of time, recharge thebatteries every two months.

• Keep the ventilation slots of the air pump clean at all times. If possible preventforeign matter from entering the vents.

• After each use, blow air through the air pump to ensure it is free from all dustparticles which may build up. Build up of dust particles may cause the air pumpto over heat and fail.

• If the housing of the air pump requires cleaning do not use solvents but amoist soft cloth only. Never let any liquid get inside the air pump; neverimmerse any part of the air pump into a liquid.

Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries caused bythe repair of the air pump by an unauthorised person or by mishandling of theair pump.
