causing incidents. Clamp work pieces securely before cutting, routing or sanding. It is much quicker and easier to just hold the piece down with one hand while making the cut or routing the edge with the other but you are significantly increasing the risk of injury. Read and adhere to the safety guidelines that came with the power tool. These guidelines are written to help you avoid serious injuries. It only takes a few minutes to read through the small booklets that come with power tools. If you are using a power tool with one hand, always check the location of your other hand before starting the tool. That may sound silly to some but it is definitely a good way to keep all your fingers. Taking a few moments to do this will ensure that your other hand is in a safe location to avoid possible injury. Never use power tools if you are tired, taking medications or using alcohol or drugs. This is a sure way to get hurt. Never use a power tool while someone is talking to you or distracting you in any way. It only takes a split second for a serious injury to change your life. If someone interrupts you while using a power tool, stop the tool and tell them it is dangerous to distract you until the tool is turned off.
