Do not jerk the cable, but instead pull the plug when you remove it from the wall
socket. Make sure electric cable does not come into contact with heat, oil or
sharp edges.

the socket. Make sure the power switch is set to OFF when you put the plug in.

If you use extension cables outdoors, only use those intended for outside use.
Use extension cables with sufficient conductor lead areas and unwind
the whole cable.
