Entertainment/Computer Equipment Notes:
Outdoor Safety
Electric-powered mowers and other electric tools should not be used in the rain, on
wet grass or in wet conditions.
Inspect power tools & electric lawn mowers before each use for frayed power cords,
broken plugs & cracked or broken housings. If any part is damaged, stop using it
immediately. Repair it or replace it.
Always use an extension cord marked for outdoor use and rated for
the power needs of your tools.
Remember to unplug all portable power tools when not in use.
When using ladders, watch out for overhead wires and power lines. Stay at least 10 feet
from all overhead lines.
Lightning
During an electrical storm, do not use appliances (i.e., hairdryers, toasters and
radios) or telephones (except in an emergency); do not take a bath or shower;
Keep batteries on hand for flashlights and radios in case of a power outage.
Use surge protectors on electronic devices, appliances, phones, fax machines and
modems.
