1. Readthe textandthenanswerthe questionsbelow PORTABLE POWER TOOLS
Personal Protective Equipment
1. Power tools presentmorehazards thanhand tools due to the speed atwhich theyoperate.There are distinctdifferences between
the PPE suggested for use with hand tools and the PPE recommended for safe power tool use.
2. Eye protection, such as safety glasses or goggles, is especially important when using power tools. The speed in which drills,
saws, grinders, sanders and routers operate can propel small particles much faster and farther than do hand tools. Others
working around the area where power tools are used should also wear protective eyewear. Certain power tools may require
using a face shield,in addition to safety glasses or goggles.For example,a face shield is recommended while using a grinder,
due to the amount of hot metal particles generated.
3. Standard cotton or leather work gloves can protectyour hands from minor scrapes and cuts while working with various materials.
Cut-resistant gloves are not designed for, or capable of providing protection against a moving blade or bit. The best way to
prevent injury from moving parts is to keep your hands on the tools'handles and keep all guards in place.Anti -vibration gloves
minimize the vibration created by hammerdrills and rotary hammerdrills.
4. Safety footwear is recommended when using power tools.Power tools are heavy and can cut you. Safety shoes with a nonslip,
insulated sole and a steel toe protect against dropped objects and misdirected electricity.
5. The higher sound levels generated by some power tools,especiallyif used over extended periods of time,may require the use
of earplugs or earmuffs. Even the use of a dustrespirator may be necessaryin sanding and cutting operations.Each situation
must be analyzed to determine the type of PPE that is required for the safe use of each type of power tool.
6. Along with PPE, proper attire is also importantwhile using power tools.Tie back or cover long hair, wear loose fitting clothes
and remove all jewelry to avoid being caught in moving blades.
7. Proper Work Practices
8. Portable power tools are designed for a wide variety of uses. Circular saws, jig saws, drills,hammer drills, sanders, grinders, routers
and numerous other power tools save us time and effort on the job. The growing popularity of cordless battery-operated tools is
putting power tools to use in more places than ever before, heightening the need for awareness ofthe dangers they presentif
not operated properly.The following safetyrules are common to all power tools.In addition,each type of tool has its own unique
hazards, which must be taken into account.
