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.

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.
6) 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 providers.
Keep the work area tidy and clean. Attempting to clear clutter from around the
machine during use will reduce your concentration. Mess on the floor creates a trip
hazard. Any liquid spilt on the floor could result in you slipping.
Find a suitable location. If the machine is bench mounted, the location should
provide good natural light or artificial lighting as a replacement. Avoid damp and
dust locations as it will have a negative effect on the machine’s performance. If the
machine is portable do not expose the tool to rain. In all cases do not operate
power tools near any flammable materials.
Unplug and house all power tools that are not in use. A power tool should never
be left unattended while connected to the power supply. They must be housed in a
suitable location, away locked up and from children. This includes battery chargers.
Do not overload or misuse the tool. All tools are designed for a purpose and are
limited to what they are capable of doing. Do not attempt to use a power tool (or
adapt it in any way) for an application it is not designed for. Select a tool
appropriate for the size of the job. Overloading a tool will result in tool failure and
user injury. This covers the use of accessories.
Dress properly. Loose clothing, long hair and jewellery are all dangerous because
they can become entangled in moving machinery. This can also result in parts of
body being pulled into the machine. Clothing should be close fitted, with any long
hair tired back and jewellery and neck ties removed. Footwear must be fully
enclosed and have a non-slip sole.
