How can I protect myself when using dangerous power tools?

Power Tool Safety

Injury or death can occur when power tools are used improperly. Power tools should never be handled by any part other than the insulated grip. Also, safety gear should be worn as specified by the tool's instructions. This may include goggles, leather gloves, facemask, hardhat and leather work boots. A power tool should always be plugged into an outlet with a ground fault circuit interrupter if the tool doesn't have one built into it. Also, the tool should never be used around water, dust, or flammable materials. Adherence to proper safety guidelines can save lives and valuable property by preventing electric shock and fires.
