9. CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT.
Don’t expose power tools to rain. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet loca-
tions. Keep work area well lit and well ventilated.
Don’t use tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
Power tools produce sparks during operation. They also spark when switch-
ing ON/OFF. Never use power tools in sites containing lacquer, paint, ben-
zine, thinner, gasoline, gases, adhesive agents, and other materials which
are combustible or explosive.
10. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY.
Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord.
All visitors should be kept safely away from work area.
11. DON’T FORCE TOOL.
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.
12. USE RIGHT TOOL.
Don’t force small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy-duty tool.
Don’t use tool for purpose not intended—for example—don’t use circular saw
for cutting tree limbs or logs.

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts.
Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working out-
doors.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
14. USE FACE, DUST MASK OR RESPIRATOR IF OPERATION IS DUSTY.
All persons in the area where power tools are being operated should also wear
face, dust masks or respirator.
15. DON’T ABUSE CORD.
Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle.
Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.
16. SECURE WORK.
Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees
both hands to operate tool.
17. DON’T OVERREACH.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
