For safe operations:

damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit.
Do not use power tools where there is risk to cause

should be kept away from 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

attachments to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Do
not use tools for purposes not intended; for example,
do not use circular saw to cut tree limbs or logs.
8. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry, they can be caught in moving parts. Rubber
gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended
when working outdoors. Wear protecting hair
