Locate and put on necessary and appropriate personal protective equipment.
Check for loose fitting clothing and jewelry and remove if they can entangle with the use of the tool.
Look at the work area and make sure it is well lit, dry, and clean before beginning work.
Tools must be inspected prior to use to ensure that that it is in good working order. If there are defects, don't use and make the necessary repairs. Next check the guards if applicable. Tools with guards must meet these minimum general requirements:
Be secure - Removable guards are in place on the machine or equipment before use.
Prevent contact - Guards prevent any part of any employee's body and clothing from making contact with dangerous moving parts.
Protect from falling objects - Guards ensure that no objects can fall into moving parts.
If a guard is defective or damaged, the tool is defective and needs to be repaired. Do not defeat these guards.

Always use the proper tool for the right job.
Do not remove a guard for any reason while operating tools.
Electric cables and cords must be kept clean and free from kinks.
Do not carry the tool by its cord.
All necessary personal protective equipment is worn while using the tool.

By following these pointers, working with power tools will be safe and the tools will also have a longer.
