1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.

away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.

suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
