Hi! This is Jon on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this video clip I’ll be talking about specific safety rules in relation to power screwdrivers. If you happen to be drilling or screwing into an area where there could potentially be live wires, you want to make sure that you’re gripping the tool by the insulated surfaces. The tool can be loud enough where if you use it for a long period of time it could cause hearing loss, so you want to make sure to have a pair of ear protection as well. You want to make sure to carry your tool by the handle; carrying it by the cord can cause it to get damaged. Your cord is the lifeline of the tool, so you want to make sure to take extra care to protect it. In addition, if you are drilling or screwing in an environment that could get a bit dusty, you’ll want to make sure to wear a mask.
