6 Power Drill Safety Tips

A power drill is not a complicated device. But with all power tools, safety needs to be respected. Imagine having a drill bit snap and end up lodged in your eye. A simple pair of safety glasses would have prevented that and you would have kept your eye sight. So let's look at some drill safety tips.

Makita 1 2 Drill

1. Don't wear long sleeves or loose clothing when drilling. Depending on the type of drill, a piece of clothing caught in the bit and wind up clothing extremely fast. Having your sleeve caught in the drill will cause extreme amounts of pain when there is no more sleeve left to get tangled.

Makita 1 2 Drill

2. Using a dust mask can help prevent you from inhaling your project. Even something as simple as wood can cause pain and bleeding in your respiratory tract.

3. As a general rule, always make sure your work is clamped down securely. Having a piece of metal or wood kick out and a drill bit go in to your leg would not be a pleasant experience.

4. Don't force the drill to drill. Instead, let the machine do its job. This goes for sanding as well.

5. You should always start off very slow and work up to a higher speed. Starting off fast is only going to have the drill bit dance around and end up other than in your work.

6. And finally, take your time. The number one reasons accidents happen in the shop is from people rushing. If it takes 2 minutes to drill through a piece of sheet metal, don't try to get it done in 30 seconds.

14 Rules to Keep Your Woodshop Running Smooth

It is crucial to remember that the most important asset in your shop is yourself. Too often we craftsmen can become negligent of ourselves on the job, forgetting that we are our the most important, most essential machines in the shop. Be smart and consider your safety and the safety of others as you work. Follow these few steps to maintain a positive and safe work environment for yourself, for others, and for your tools as well:

Makita 1 2 Drill

Above all things, be smart and be prepared. Most precautionary/preventative measures fall only as subcategories to this one element. Always remember to use your brain more than any other tool in the shop.

Makita 1 2 Drill

Be Smart:
1.)Think things through: Knowing what you're doing before you do it makes everything exponentially easier. Remember, especially, to think before you cut. Knowing your cuts and movements around the blade before you make them can be the difference between and smooth cut and a lost finger.
-- Don't operate power tools if you are sick or otherwise impaired (i.e. on medication or alcohol).

2.) Know your equipment - and know how to use it: It's vital that craftsmen know their tools and the right ways to use them - too often craftsmen damage materials or harm themselves because they've used their equipment improperly. Read your operators manuals and become familiar with your tools, their applications, and safety precautions. Be familiar with your surroundings, and always be alert in the shop.
-- While not engaged, tools should remain unplugged and always in the 'off' position.
-- If handling a disengaged tool that is plugged in, always carry it by its handle, keep your body away from sharp objects, and away from the on/off switch.
-- Tools should never be carried by their power cords.
-- Keep tools in their appropriate places. Always return tools to their cases or keep unused tools put away in cabinets. This keeps the shop more organized, and keeps your tools more protected from theft and unauthorized/inappropriate use.
-- Be certain your tool's safety features are always in place.

3.) Inspect your equipment: Be certain power cords are not cut or frayed, and that your tools are in proper working order before use.
-- Make sure handle and bolts are tightly in place.
-- Don't use rusty equipment or dull blades.
-- Tools that sound or feel funny should be professionally inspected.

4.) Let your saw stop on its own: Give your saw blades a sufficient amount of time to wind down - even without power, a sharp, spinning blade can cause severe damage.

5.) Don't force your saw: If you experience resistance while cutting, don't push or force through the cut. Stop for a moment to determine the problem. Your throat plate may be improperly seated, or your rip fence may be misaligned - this can cause materials to stick mid-cut. Attempting to force a blade through these situations can cause bad, rough cuts, blade kick-back, or even contact with the blade.

6.) Don't rush your jobs: Mistakes and accident are more likely to occur when craftsmen rush to complete a job. When feeling frustrated or rushed, simply take a break.

Be Prepared:
7.) Dress appropriately: Loose fitting clothes or hanging hair/jewelry can get caught in power tools and cause very serious injuries. Jewelry should be removed and clothes should be form fitting and cover the entire body as you work - shorts and sandals should generally be avoided. Steel-toed work boots and hard-hats are recommended where appropriate.

8.) Be safe: Always wear goggles/glasses, ear protection, lung protection, and heavy gloves when using power tools.
-- Goggles or safety glasses keep your eyes safe from dust, wood shavings, fiberglass shards, and other debris. Safety glasses should always be worn in the shop.
-- Ear plugs muffle the damaging sounds of loud tools and shop equipment and keep the ears, and your hearing protected.
-- Masks help prevent the inhalation of harmful particles in the air. Keep your lungs protected!
-- Heavy gloves keep splinters and other sharp objects from harming your hands. Keeping your hands covered and comfortable is a good way keep the rest of the shop in safe, working order.

9.) Stay focused and avoid distractions: Pay very close attention to your actions, and always keep your eyes on task - pay special attention to your blades while cutting. If you become distracted while working, turn the machine off rather than rushing to finish.

10.) Always keep clean: Keep both your shop, and your tools clean and properly maintained. Keep your shop as clutter free as possible, and try to work in a well ventilated environment. Always maintain a fresh air supply into your workspace to reduce heath and explosion hazards from solvent fumes airborne particulates.
-- Keep your working environment dry and free of debris. Avoid standing near water when working and always keep your hands dry (to prevent electrocution).
-- Keeping your tools clean keeps you safer, and your tools running longer.

General Safety:
11.) Storage: Oily rags and other flammable materials should be stored in a cool space away from heat and fire.

12.) Medical: Keep a well stocked First Aid Kit always on hand. Also be sure that your shop has working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

13.) Don't over-load electrical outlets.
-- Avoid using extension cords whenever possible.
-- Use shortest extension cord possible, and always use correct length (don't connect cords to meet length) in12-14 gauge.

14.) Lighting: Maintain adequate lighting in the work-place. Poor lighting creates an unsafe environment, and causes very preventable mistakes and accidents.

Remember to be smart, be prepared, and be safe on the job; you and the others around you are the most vital part of your wood-shop. Stay alert, and stay attentive to keep your shop running like a well-oiled-machine.

Power Tools Safety and Maintenance

If you've ever accidentally slipped and hammered your thumb instead of a nail, you are well aware that accidents happen quickly (and are quite painful). If a poorly aimed hammer can inflict so much damage, imagine what power tools like jigsaws and nail guns can do.

Makita 1 2 Drill

Power tools and useful and necessary, but when used improperly or poorly maintained, can inflict personal injury to the user or those nearby. Using them requires extra caution and care, including regular upkeep and maintenance of your tools, to ensure that a loose handle or jammed blade doesn't cause serious harm.

Makita 1 2 Drill

A few simple rules and the occasional maintenance can help reduce accidents. When using such machinery, here are some basic, common sense safety and maintenance rules to remember:

1. Wear proper clothing. This means nothing loose or hanging (including hair and jewelry) that can become tangled in moving parts. It is also important to wear goggles and sturdy gloves when necessary. And if you need glasses to read or drive, you probably should wear them when dealing with high-powered machines.

2. Read instructions carefully, for both power tool usage and your project. Each power tool is different and instructions will vary with each brand. Understand the tool and how it's used well, and you'll cut down on many potential hazards.

3. Use the right tool for the job. Is it that surprising when you try to use a screwdriver to open a jar and you end up jamming a finger? Each device is created for a specific purpose and using it improperly is dangerous.

4. Keep your tools in a clean, dry place. Grime and moisture can clog parts and create rust. Sometimes these problems will not be visible outwardly, but can cause damage to you or the machine when used.

5. Follow basic maintenance rules. Every few months, and before you use them, check to make sure handles and blades are rust-free and tight (blades should be sharpened as well). Batteries leak and electrical cords are sometimes chewed through by rodents or become wet, so it is important to check these components regularly also.

6. Work in a safe area. Make sure that there are no tangled cords that can potentially cause someone to trip and fall. The floor should be dry and free of debris. Anyone within close range of them should also have safety awareness. That means young children should be kept away.

7. Keep others safe. You should secure them in a safe place, preferably locked-up. Children's curiosity often gets the better of them, and even the best safety training at an early age won't always keep them from getting into trouble. Older children should be given safety instructions and monitored carefully when using any power tools.

Not only will these safety tips help keep you safe, but they will help your power tools last longer. And even if you're the type to throw caution to the wind, those around you will thank you for being prudent and keeping them.

Echo GT-225 16&quot; Gas Curved Shaft Trimmer Review

My Echo GT-225 16" gas curved shaft trimmer came from Home Depot for 9 plus tax. It was fully assembled and included safety glasses and a small bottle of 2 cycle oil. Echo gives a five year consumer warranty. For commercial use the warranty is reduced to two years.

Makita 1 2 Drill

This trimmer is cleverly designed so that one person can not fill the gas tank without spilling the fuel. It is possible to fill with no spill, if a second person holds the trimmer at just the right angle. So far that is the only feature that I really don't like. As with all two cycle engines you have to mix oil with the gas.

The 21.2 cc engine starts easily, runs smoothly, and has sufficient power. The noise is noticeably less than my previous Robi model. The cutting length (16") is an indication of power. Previously I got a 10" electric trimmer and it did not have enough power or endurance. For a medium to large yard I would not get anything less than 16". The vibration level is low. I would have liked the shaft to be a little longer but that is not a major problem.

The Echo GT-225 trims and edges well. The weight is on the low side at 10.1 pounds. A shoulder strap is not included, and probably is not needed because of the light weight. Several pieces of.80 strings are included. It is very easy to insert 2 pieces of line into the head without using any tools. My medium sized lawn requires about 4 line strips per cut. I tried some heavier off brand line, and that worked well for me. However, it is possible that heavier line could put additional stress on the engine. If you want a head with a spool of line, you should be able to find an aftermarket head that will fit.

All trimmers are dangerous so it is important to read and follow the safety precautions. You do not want to spill fuel on a hot engine. Safety glasses are essential and the ones Echo includes work well. Ear protection is suggested.

My last gas trimmer cost and the Echo GT-225 is a definite upgrade. The engine is the heart of a trimmer and this model does have a good one. For household use I think this is a good choice. For very large yards or commercial use you may want at look at something more powerful with an auto line feeder.
