plugs with grounded power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching out- lets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b.Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

c. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

d.When operating a power tool out- doors, use an extension cord suit- able for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

e.If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of

a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

3.Personal safety

a.Stay alert, watch what you are do- ing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b.Use personal protective equip- ment. Always wear eye protection.

Safety equipment such as respirator, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropri- ate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

e.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

f. Only use safety equipment that has been approved by an appropri- ate standards agency. Unapproved safety equipment may not provide adequate protection. Eye protection must be ANSI-approved and breath- ing protection must be NIOSH-ap- proved for the specific hazards in the work area.
