responsibility. Some students come to class without any idea what a power tools
are. Others have received poor instruction or downright bad advice and
mistakenly think they “know what they are doing.” It’s essential that both
groups must gain from you a solid foundation in modern power tool safety
practices that they can use in class and throughout their lives. To avoid
accidents, power tool operators must be knowledgeable in handling these tools.
Inexperienced, untrained, and unprepared operators can be injured within
minutes of attempting to use them.
Handling every tool has its rules and precautions to be observed. In terms of
the power tools, many of these precautions are common to all. Learn these by
heart and you’ll always be at safe.
 Always read, understand and follow the Instruction Manual before

using any power tool. Also read the nameplate information and follow the
warning labels of the tool itself.
 Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields. Use a
dust mask for dusty operations and wear hearing protection if you’ll be
using the tool for an extended period of time.
 Dress right and remember that looks don’t count. No loose-fitting
clothing, no neckties, no jewelry, no dangling objects of any kind. Long
hair must be tied back out of your way. Non-slippy footwear are
recommended.
 Make sure your work area is neat and clean and free from any debris
that might get in your way or be ignited by hot tools, chips or sparks.
 Make sure your work area is well - lighted.
 Before you plug in any power tool, make sure the power switch is
off.
 Make sure that all appropriate guards are in place and working.
 Always turn off and unplug the tool before you make any adjustments
or changes in accessories.
 Never use any accessory except those specifically supplied or
recommended by the manufacturer. They should be described in the tool’s
Instruction Manual.
 Never use power tools in wet or damp conditions.
 Never use a tool that is damaged or malfunctioning in any way.

DANGER: It indicates an imminently
hazardous situation which if not
avoided, may result serious injury or
death.
 Make sure that extension cord to be used is a heavy-duty cord and

don’t use indoor rated cords outside. If the tool has a three-pronged plug,
make
 sure you use a three-pronged extension cord plugged into a three

pronged outlet.
 Never use power tools if you are tired, sick, distracted, or under the
influence of drugs or alcohol.
 Make sure cutters or blades are clean, sharp and securely in place.
Never use bent, broken, or warped blades or cutters.
 Never overreach while using a power tool. Stay in balance.
 Never rush what you are doing. Be in focus. Don’t let anything distract
you.
 When using hand-held power tools, always keep a firm grip with both
hands. Losing control creates a hazardous situation. Do not use any tool
that is too heavy for you to easily control.
 Always use the right tool for the right job. No substitutions are
allowed.
 Always unplug, clean and store the tool in a safe, dry place when done.
SAFETY ALERT
(Potential Personal Injury Hazards)
Safety Symbols
Your power tool and its owner’s manual may contain "WARNING ICONS"
(a picture symbol intended to alert you to, and/or instruct you how to avoid, a
potentially hazardous condition). Understanding and heeding these symbols will
help you operate your tool better and safer.

Develop a system of racks, bins and tools panels to make it easy to find
the right tool or materials quickly. Don’t store tools, supplies or spare parts in
the aisle or on the floor where they become tripping hazards. Keep other
flammable materials away from heaters and welding areas to prevent fire.
Grease oil, paint and solvent should be stored in a close metal container,
preferably in metal cabinets. Gasoline or other fuels should never be stored
inside a shop. Supplies, tools and equipment should be stored in any area
designed specifically for them. Electrical power tools should have its own racks
or tool panels while hydraulic tools should have its own racks or tool panels.
