Always think safety. Proper attire as well as wise work habits and work-site precautions go a long way toward making any project safe for you and any helpers. Use common sense and keep the following in mind at all times:

 Wear gloves, safety glasses or goggles, a dust mask, or hard hat as needed. If you have long hair, tie it back.

 Dress in fitted, not loose, heavy pants and long-sleeve shirt.

 Wear steel-toe boots.

 Banish kids, pets, and individuals not helping you out of the work area.

 Lift with your legs, not your back, and avoid lifting and twisting at the same time.

 Keep the work site clear of scraps, idle tools, and other tripping hazards.

 Make sure that extension cords and power tools are plugged into outlets with ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection.

 Operate power tools with caution, observing the manufacturer’s safety recommendations.

 Unplug tools if you need to change blades or bits.
