I would like to ad a word of warning, when using any power tool be sure to use a pair of safety glasses. They are quite cheap these days. You can get them for 10.00 or less so grab 2 or 3 pair and keep them on hand.

The photo for this post shows 2 children standing there, one of them has standard vision correction glasses and the other “gasp” has no eye protection what so ever. This is just not acceptable and I recommend this photo be removed so people and children do not follow this example.

People who are not used to using power tools do need to be warned about these dangers. I have used power tools and built things since I was 12 and I got a lot of stuff in my eyes over the years. I was lucky to not have an eye injury.

I always use safety glasses now and make sure everyone in my family does also. Don’t take chances with your eyes, wear those safety glasses PLEASE!
