Lighting to improve the look and safety of our homes, electric tools to make our outdoor work easier, and power lines to our home, all need to be handled with care.

Store your electrical tools indoors and away from children. Check lighting and extension cords for damage before using. Replace any damaged cords right away. Extension cords are not meant for long-term use.
