To avoid damaging cords, remove them from outlets by pulling the plug, not the cord itself. Never attach a cord to another surface with nails or staples, which can break the insulation. Avoid kinking, twisting, binding, or walking on cords. Safely reset your circuit breakers and replace blown fuses. Don't mix water with electricity.
Water is highly conductive of electricity, and improper use can cause serious injury or death.
Keep water away from electricity and electrical appliances. Water is an excellent conductor of electricity and, when in contact with an electrical appliance or other electrical source, can cause serious injury or death. Never use electrical appliances while standing in water. Always make sure your hands are dry when using an electrical appliance. Never use appliances while near water or outside when it's wet or raining.
