refrigerators).
4. Keep children away.
Do not let persons, especially children, not involved in the work touch the tool or the
extension cord and keep them away from the work area.
5. Store idle tools.
When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, high or locked up place, out of reach
of children.
6. Do not force the tool.
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.
7. Use the right tool.
Do not force small tools to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes

ensure these are connected and properly used.
11. Do not abuse the cord.
Never yank the tool to disconnect it from the socket. Keep the cord away from heat, oil
and sharp edges.
