When disconnecting portable power tools from a power receptacle you should?

When disconnecting portable power tools from a power receptacle, you should always pull the plug directly from the outlet rather than yanking on the cord. Ensure the tool is turned off before unplugging it to prevent accidental startup. Additionally, avoid using wet hands or standing on wet surfaces while disconnecting to minimize the risk of electrical shock. Properly storing the tool and cord after use also helps prevent damage and ensures safety.
