To avoid turning tasks into turmoil, be sure to take a few extra moments to ensure the power tools you use are safe. CSA Group, a leader in electronic product testing and certifi cation, offers tips to help ensure the safety of you and your family while doing yard work this weekend: General Tips for Yard Maintenance • Ensure products such as electric lawnmowers, barbecues, power tools, ladders, decorative lights, extension cords and safety apparel carry the mark of a recognized or accredited certifi ca- tion organization such as CSA Group. • Protect yourself by wearing certi- fi ed protective eyewear and footwear. Hearing protection should be worn when operating loud machinery, ve- hicles or tools. Lawnmowers • Before mowing, take the time to remove objects in your yard that may obstruct your moweror that could be fl ung by the rotating blades. • Never clear an obstruction in a running mower. If the mower is elec- tric, turn off the power and unplug the machine. If it's gas, turn off the power and make sure the engine isn't running and that all safety features have been activated. Portable Power Tools • Never use a power tool that has a cracked casing, loose parts or frayed cords. Ensure all safety guards are in place and in proper working order. • Make sure the tool is turned off before it's plugged in or unplugged. Always unplug the tool before chang- ing parts such as drill bits or cutting blades. • Use only electric power tools that have either a three-prong plug or dou- ble insulation with a heavy enough gauge (wire size) to handle the electric- ity load. Use an outlet with a ground fault circuit interrupter to protect against electric shock. Extension Cords • Check extension cords for wear and damage before each use. Discard any cords that are frayed or have dam- aged insulation. • Never connect more than one ex- tension cord together. Instead, use a single cord that is long enough to reach from the outlet to an appliance or tool. • When working outside, only use cords clearly labeled for outdoor use. • Never run an electrical cord through a doorway or under a carpet. If a cord becomes hot when plugged in, discontinue use immediately and replace with a heavier gauge cord.
