Unplug tools by pulling directly on the plug. Jerking on the cord can cause damage to the tool. Do not leave tools, hardware and other materials out when not in use. This is especially important if youngsters are in the home. Sparks can ignite scraps, sawdust and solvents.
Water can conduct electricity.
Do not stand in water, on damp floors or in the rain when working with electrical tools. Keep hands and tools dry. Make sure workshops and storage areas have the proper electrical wiring and outlets needed to run power tools. Install adequate wiring to handle the electrical load required. Any outlets that may come in contact with water should have ground fault circuit interrupters.
