Power tools make all types of improvement projects faster and less labor-intensive. They enable us to perform difficult tasks with greater ease and accuracy than most of us could ever hope for without them.
Modern power tools are designed to operate safely when used prudently and according to all instructions in the user’s manual. Virtually all power tool accidents are preventable. Unfortunately, accidents happen to entry-level users and experienced operators alike.
Power tools are 'good friends' that require operator respect in specific ways. They must be used carefully, whether they are in the hands of a professional tradesman, a beginning DIYer or a student.
Choosing the correct tool and the proper accessory for your application can help to reduce the risk of serious injuries. When used according to the manufacturer's instructions, any tool will do the job faster.
