HOW TO SERVICE AND MAINTAIN YOUR ELECTRIC POWER TOOLS

Since most power tools are designed to last a very long time, you want to find out about the availability of replacement parts. You also want to find out about customer support. It can be over the phone, by mail, or on the internet. It is important that customer support is available to you in the event you have questions, comments, or complaints about your power tool purchase. 

They continue to take pride in there sales department and their quality customer service today. It has served them well, with annual sales over $1 billon. Black & Decker offers a full line of replacement parts and accessories for all their power tools. This means you can always find what you are looking for, even if your Black & Decker power tool is a few years old. 

One draw back is that with a cordless power tool someone else can t simply unplug it if you are involved in an accident. Make sure any cordless power tool has an easily accessed on/off switch. To make the recharge issue less of an inconvenience, some larger power tools including drills and saws come with two batteries. 

You should also heed their recommendations for the proper safety equipment to use while you are operating a particular power tool. The most common power tool accidents involve injuries to the fingers. This can be anything from a minor cut to losing the entire finger. Approximately half off all finger amputations in the United States each year are the result of an injury involving a power tool. 

Make sure you choose one that has a high level of power and comes with the on/off location in an easy to reach location in the event you need to turn it off in a hurry. A mitre saw is a type of circular saw that works well for crosscutting. It is used to cut at exact angles, dimensions, and lengths. For very detailed work, a scroll saw works great. 

Choose a model that allows you several positions for the drill to operate in. It is also a good idea to use one that is lightweight. Some of the positions you have to use it in won t give you enough area to have both hands on it. You can choose to use a drill with or without a cord. The cord models are traditional, but cordless drills help reduce accidental falls due to tripping over the cord and possible electrocution.
