Check before use
Look for cracks, loose handles and damaged cables. Don't use broken tools; report them.
Use it right
- Use the right tool for the job: a screwdriver is not a chisel.
- Keep both hands on power tools and guards in place.
- Unplug power tools before changing blades or bits.
Look after them
Clean tools after work, oil moving parts, and store them dry. Count your tools at the end of the day.
Your own toolkit
Building your own basic kit over time shows you are serious about your trade, and can help you get better work.
