Renovations on the horizon?

Too many devices plugged into the same outlet can cause a fire. Don't take the risk.

• Plug your various tools into different outlets.
• Unplug the ones you're not using.
• Use a power bar with overload protection.

Prevent accidents and make sure to unplug:

• The table saw before you move it.
• All electrical tools before you take a break.
• Any electrical device before you try to fix it.

• Be sure the cord isn't frayed and avoid letting the plug come into contact with water.
• Buy a three-prong model.
• Push the plug all the way in.
• Never bend or cut off the third prong; it's the ground, a very important safety feature.

Are broken branches touching a power line? Are branches growing too close to them? Don't get within three metres of overhead lines. Tree trimming is a job for professionals.
