Okay, so you’re planning on doing some renovation work and using power drills and drivers? These tools are lifesavers, but they can be a bit risky if you’re not careful. Don’t worry; just keep these simple safety tips in mind so you can stay safe and get the job done right!
Gear Up for Safety
First things first: safety glasses are a must. Seriously, flying dust and metal pieces are no fun. If you are drilling for a longer period of time try to use hearing protectors for your ears. Trust me; your ears will thank you later.
Keep Things Steady
Make sure whatever you’re working on that does not move around. Use clamps to hold wood, metal, or plastic steady because when it starts spinning and shaking, this is when accidents can happen.
Right Bit for the Task
Choosing the correct drill is so important. Not all drill bits are created equal. Use your needed, and make sure they are sharp. Dull bits can slip and slide, which is a recipe for mistakes and injuries.
Easy Does It
When drilling, going slow and steady wins the race. Start off at a low speed and use light pressure and let the drill do its thing. Forcing it will just end up causing problems.
Power Down When Switching
Before you switch the drill bits, make sure your drill is either unplugged or the battery is taken out. You really don’t want the drill to accidentally start while you have your fingers near the drill bit, as this will cause a huge problem for sure.
Dress Smart
Keep things like baggy clothes, loose jewelry, and long hair out of the way. These things can easily get snagged by the spinning drill bit.
Wrapping Up
Keep these simple tips in mind so you’ll not only stay safe but will also avoid accidents, and that will result in achieving great and wonderful results with your power drills and drivers. Have fun!
the transformation is stunning! Looks like a brand-new space
