tions. Keep the work area well lit. Do not use tools in the presence of flammable
liquids or gases.

ranges, refrigerators).
4. Keep persons 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, locked up place, out of reach of
children.

logs.

ment, 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.

hand.
