Hi! This is Jon on behalf of Expert Village. In this video clip I will be talking about
maintaining safe tool control. Before you get started, you want to make sure that your
work piece is free of any nails or screws or any other type of metal objects. Running
the tool into them could cause the tool to jump or it could shoot out some sparks which
could ignite any combustibles or dust in the air so you really want to be careful before
you get started. You never want to hold your work piece with one hand and operate the tool
with the other hand. Instead you always want to clamp the material down and use both hands
on the tool. Lastly you never want to cut when there is a hard surface behind your work
piece because you need that room for the bit when it protrudes through the back side of
it.
