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

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 cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock .
