Safety Tips When Using Power Tools at Home

Using power tools at home can be efficient and empowering—but safety should always come first. Here are key safety practices to follow when using drills, hammers, impact drivers, and other equipment from Abegailca.

1. Wear Protective Gear

Always wear safety goggles, gloves, and closed-toe shoes when working with power tools. Dust masks are recommended for drilling or sanding.

2. Read the Manual

Every tool has specific instructions. Take time to read the safety and operating manual before your first use.

3. Inspect Before Use

Check for loose parts, frayed cords, or damaged batteries before operating any tool.

4. Work in a Safe Area

Make sure your workspace is clean, dry, and well-lit. Avoid distractions, and keep children and pets away from the area.

5. Use the Right Tool for the Job

Don’t try to substitute one tool for another. Using a screwdriver when you need a drill can result in damage—or injury.
