A power tool is a tool that is actuated by an additional power source and mechanism other than the solely manual labor used with hand tools. The most common types of power tools use electric motors. Internal combustion engines compressed air and compressed fluids are also commonly used. These tools use electricity, some cordless or battery powered are used to function.

Frequently Asked Questions About Power Tools

1.When and how should you inspect Power Tools?

• Inspect tools for any damage prior to each use.
• Check the handle and body casing of the tool for cracks or other damage.
• If the tool has auxiliary or double handles, check to see that they installed securely.
• Inspect cords for defects: check the power cord for cracking, fraying, and other signs of wear or faults in the cord insulation.
• Check for damaged switches and ones with faulty trigger locks.
• Inspect the plug for cracks and for missing, loose or faulty prongs.

2. What Should You Do While Using Power Tools?

• Wear or use personal protective equipment (PPE) or clothing that is appropriate for the work you are doing; this may include items such as safety glasses or goggles, or a face shield (with safety glasses or goggles), hearing protection, dust mask, gloves, safety boots or shoes, or rubber boots.
• Switch off the tools before connecting them to a power supply.
• If a power cord feels more than comfortably warm or if a tool is sparking, have it checked by an electrician or other qualified person.
• Disconnect the power supply before making adjustments or changing accessories.
• Remove any wrenches and adjust tools before turning on a tool.
• Inspect the cord for fraying or damage before each use. Tag defective tools clearly with an "Out of service" tag and replace immediately with a tool in good running order.
• During use, keep power cords clear of tools and the path that the tool will take.

3. What Should You Avoid When Using Powered Tools?

• Do not wear gloves, loose clothing or jewelry while using revolving power tools. Tie back long hair or wear appropriate hair protection to prevent hair from getting caught in moving parts of equipment.
• Do not use a tool unless you have been trained to use it safely and know its limitations and hazards.
• Avoid accidental starting by ensuring the tool is turned off before you plug it in. Also do not walk around with a plugged-in tool with your finger touching the switch.
• Do not bypass the ON/OFF switch and operate the tools by connecting and disconnecting the power cord.
• Do not disconnect the power supply of the tool by pulling or jerking the cord from the outlet.
• Do not leave a running tool unattended. Do not leave it until it has been turned off, has stopped running completely, and has been unplugged.
• Do not use electric tools in wet conditions or damp locations unless the tool is connected to a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
• Do not expose electric power tools to rain or wet conditions; wet tools increase the likelihood of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces like refrigerators, pipes and radiators when using electric powered tools; this will reduce the likelihood of shock if the operator's body is grounded.
• Do not plug several power cords into one outlet by using single-to-multiple outlet adapters or converters ("cube taps").
• Do not use light duty power cords.
• Stop using an electric power tool if you feel a tingle in your fingers. This is a warning that the tool is faulty and needs repair.
• Do not connect or splice extension cords together to make a longer connection: the resulting extension cord may not be able to provide sufficient current or power safely.
• Do not carry electrical tools by the power cord.
• Do not tie power cords in knots. Knots can cause short circuits and shocks. Loop the cords or use a twist lock plug.

Conclusion

The growing popularity of power tools comes as no surprise. Whether you talk of construction, plumbing or any other industry, power tools are widely used to perform several tasks.
