or changing accessories.
18. Remove any wrenches and adjusting tools before turning
on a tool.
19. Inspect the cord for fraying or damage before each use.
Tag defective tools must be immediately returned to the
store man.
20. During use, keep power cords clear of tools and the path
that the tool will take.
21. Use clamps, a vice or other devices to hold and support the
piece being worked on, when practical to do so. This will
allow you to use both hands for better control of the tool
and will help prevent injuries if a tool jams or binds in a
work piece.
22. Use only approved extension cords that have the proper
wire size (gauge) for the length of cord and power
requirements of the electric tool that you are using. This
will prevent the cord from overheating.
23. Suspend power cords over aisles or work areas to eliminate
stumbling or tripping hazards.
24. Eliminate octopus connections: if more than one receptacle
plug is needed, use a power bar or power distribution strip
that has an integral power cord and a built‐in over current
protection.
25. Pull the plug, not the cord when unplugging a tool. Pulling
the cord causes wear and may adversely affect the wiring
to the plug and cause electrical shock to the operator.
26. Follow good housekeeping procedures ‐ keep the work
area free of clutter and debris that could be tripping or
slipping hazards.
27. Keep power cords away from heat, water, oil, sharp edges
and moving parts. They can damage the insulation and
cause a shock.
28. Ensure that cutting tools, drill bits, etc. are kept sharp,

29. Store tools in a dry, secure location when they are not
being used. Do not wear gloves, loose clothing or jewelry
while using revolving power tools. Tie back long hair or
wear appropriate hair protection to prevent hair from
getting caught in moving parts of equipment.
30. Do not wear gloves, loose clothing or jewelry while using
revolving power tools. Tie back long hair or wear
appropriate hair protection to prevent hair from getting
caught in moving parts of equipment.
31. Do not leave a running tool unattended. Do not leave it
until it has been turned off, has stopped running
completely, and has been unplugged
32. Do not expose electric power tools to rain or wet
conditions; wet tools increase the likelihood of electric
shock.
33. Stop using an electric power tool if you feel a tingle in your
fingers. This is a warning that the tool is faulty and needs
repair.
34. Prevent shocks. Ensure that the tools are properly
grounded using an industrial type three‐prong plug, are
double‐insulated (and are labeled as such), or are
powered by a low‐voltage isolation transformer: this will
protect users from an electrical shock, i.e. 110 voltage.
35. Do not walk on or allow vehicles or other moving
equipment to pass over unprotected power cords. Cords
should be put in conduits or protected by placing planks
on each side of them.
36. Do not operate tools in an area containing explosive
vapours or gases.
37. Do not clean tools with flammable or toxic solvents.
38. Do not surprise or touch anyone who is operating a tool.
