Power tools make construction work and do-it-yourself projects easier. With efficiency and less manpower involved than hand tools, power tools, whether saws, hammers, or drills, get the job done quicker and, in many cases, more accurately. But the downside is injuries. In fact, 400,000 emergency visits per year are the result of using power tools. While many of these aren't fatal, they can be, and the best way to avoid being injured is to practice basic safety. While many specialty tools like nailers are now available to amateur and do-it-yourself workers, construction-site safety, with professional-style safety gear, should be used.
The main fault when using power tools is not reading the instructions. If you haven't read the operating and safety instructions before using any tool, more injuries may result. Before you start any project with a tool, make sure you know how to use it fully. Additionally, be cognizant when using tools. Whether a handheld or table saw, a drill, or hammer, any tool requires your full attention to not only do the work accurately but also to keep yourself from being injured.
Air Power Tool
Basic safety should be practiced when using any type of power tool. Aside from being fully familiar with the tool, a user should wear safety goggles or glasses for full eye protection. In such cases, the tool itself might not cause an injury but flying bits will. Either a drill bit or particles from drywall or concrete could go flying through the air while using a tool and into your eye. Similarly, many tools, particularly larger saws like a circular or compound miter function, should be clamped down to a work bench. Don't support the saw with a "free" hand, as both hands are needed to use such larger tools. Additionally, many tools have a safety function. When you're an amateur working with power tools, make sure the safety function is in place at all times. Otherwise, a simple leaning or too much pressure on a tool could turn it on and put a nail or other bit through your skin.
