Frequently asked questions

What are the most overlooked safety risks when using power tools?

One of the most overlooked risks is not inspecting tools before use. Small issues, like loose screws or worn-out parts, can lead to serious malfunctions mid-operation. Another common oversight is not using enough personal protective equipment (PPE), like skipping gloves or safety glasses.

What are some common signs that a power tool might need immediate repair?

If you notice unusual noises, like grinding or screeching, during operation, it’s likely a component is worn or damaged. Overheating is another red flag, possibly indicating motor or wiring issues. Look out too for visible damage, like cracked casings or frayed cords.

How can I store power tools to prevent unnecessary wear and tear?

Always store power tools in a clean, dry area to prevent rust or moisture damage. Use wall-mounted racks or toolboxes to keep them organized and off the ground. If your tools have removable batteries, store the batteries separately in a cool location.
