Woodworking tools can cause serious injuries. Good habits from day one keep you safe.
Every time
- Wear safety glasses, and hearing protection with power tools
- Read the manual for every tool before using it
- Keep blade guards on and use push sticks near blades
- Never reach over or behind a spinning blade
- Unplug tools before changing blades or bits
- Tie back long hair, remove jewelry and avoid loose sleeves
- Don't work when tired or distracted
Dust
Fine wood dust can irritate lungs. Wear a well-fitting dust mask or respirator, and collect dust at the source where you can.
