  The majority of people will advise you that some type of tool is a must for any diy project around the house. Skilled trades people who constantly need to use tools for their job couldn't live without them. A lot of these tools are power-operated, which makes things easier, but also lead to more injuries. Contributing elements to accidents are typically boredom, indifference or ignorance. That said, here are some tips to keep you safe when working with power tools.
  
  Section 21 1 B Notice ...It is really quite imperative that you wear eye protection when using power tools. A great deal of foreign objects are cast up or produced by power tools and wearing googles or safety glasses will protect your eyes. By no means overlook eye protection when you use or are nearby when power tools are operating. Handling power tools exposes you to high levels of noise so you should either insert ear plugs or wear a pair of ear defenders. If you don't do this, you run the risk of long-term hearing loss in one or both ears.
  
  Preventing injury can be done by using the appropriate tool for the job. If you use a device for something that it wasn't designed for, you increase, not only the odds of damaging the tool, but also the chance of causing injury. You need to go through the instruction manual to make sure you know the proper way to use your new tool. Tools and equipment are designed to be used in a particular way, and that is how you should use them. Any power tool not in use should be separated from it's power source by disconnecting it, and never carry it around dangling from it's power cord. Consider the clothes you happen to be wearing, and avoid loose clothing. Ideally, your whole body should be covered with your work clothes, and work gloves would help protect your hands. Some varieties of job will require you to wear a mask to filter out particles or fibers. Wearing a hard hat along with a set of steel toe workboots will also improve your safety.
  
  Keep an eye on the weather any time working outside with electric power tools and never work in the rain or let them get wet. Consistently look at the power cord for loose connections, broken insulation or defective plugs. Shallow cuts into the insulation may be taped, but deep cuts will mean replacing the entire cord. Make your work space clean, because the built up dust particles can ignite a spark. Keep combustible liquids clear of where power tools are getting used. Your work environment should regularly be kept free of mess - it will be easier for you to work in and a safer environment. Don't forget that power tools like circular saws, nail guns and table saws are potentially more risky than other tools so take more care when using them. Maintain tools in their spot, where children or unauthorized people can get to them.
  
  Make sure there is an abundance of light so that you can reduce the chance of accident in your work area. When you pay attention to what you are doing, and understand all of the safety precautions, you should have no problems working without any accidents.
