visitors should be kept away from work area.
5. Store Idle Tools. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, and high

6. Don’t Force Tool. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was intended.

heavy-duty tool. Don’t use tool for purpose not intended – for example – don’t

and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
