Power Tool Cleaning , Maintenance and Lubrication . Bringing this Drill to Life :D

To help prevent power tool accidents, make sure your work area is secure. Ladders should be securely in place. Never work on a surface that is slippery or unstable. It is a risk you don t want to be taking with a power tool in your hand. I understand that not all work areas are under the best of circumstances. 

No matter how tempting it may be, never use a power tool for a project that it wasn t intended for. This includes trying to cut materials with a saw or saw blade that was not designed for it. Don t alter a power tool to make it faster or to do something that it wasn t designed for. You really don t know the effect that is going to have on the operating capacity of the power tool. 

I keep my power screwdriver fully charged and ready to go. It is the power tool I reach for the most. Since they come with a tip that can be changed from Phillips to a flat head, there is no need to have any other screwdriver around. A power drill, either with a cord or without, is very versatile. The biggest investment here is going to be on the various drill bits that you will need. 

Routers are often quite loud, so make sure you wear ear plugs. They can also result in large amounts of dust particles in the air depending on the type of material you are working with. A respirator is a good idea if you are using a router on wood. Always wear eye protection when you operate a router. 

Wearing long sleeves is a good idea as well. Some of the products you may be sanding could have chemicals or the paint could contain lead. These dangerous materials could enter your skin through the pores. Make sure you have a well ventilated work area and that cords and other objects are out of the way. 

The jaws are designed to increase the amount of force on the nail if you encounter some stubborn ones. The idea of power tools for women is catching on. Five ladies from the University of Kansas are in the process of creating an entire line of power tools for women called Savvy tools. The line is meant to make power tools a more comfortable fit for women in the hopes of promoting safety and making them less intimidating.
