Ensure the ladder is on a flat, stable surface. Maintain three points of contact (two feet, one hand) while climbing. Do not overreach.

Never remove safety guards from power tools. They are designed to protect you from flying debris and accidental contact. Use them as intended.
Keep saw blades and drill bits sharp. Dull blades require more force, increasing the risk of slipping and injury. Store them safely.
Use outdoor-rated extension cords for outdoor work. Check for fraying or damage before use. Do not run cords under rugs.
Always wear safety glasses and gloves when using power tools or handling chemicals. Hearing protection is necessary for loud equipment. PPE prevents permanent injury.
Always unplug power tools before changing blades, bits, or making adjustments. This prevents accidental activation.
