Kickback Hazard: Maintain firm grip and proper stance. Do not apply excessive pressure—allow the tool to do the work.
Blade Safety: Let the saw blade cool down before removing it—there is a risk of injury when touching hot blades . Ensure the blade is securely seated by pulling it after insertion .
Maintenance: Unplug tool before changing blades or performing maintenance. Allow the tool to cool before storing.
Training requirement: Operators should be familiar with correct usage, blade selection, and safety procedures. Supervisors should ensure all safety protocols are followed.
2. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Injury (debris): Do not rub. Rinse immediately with plenty of clean water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open. Seek medical attention.
Cut Injury: Apply direct pressure to stop bleeding. Clean wound with clean water. Cover with sterile dressing. Seek medical attention if bleeding is profuse or the wound is deep.
Skin Contact (dust): Wash skin with soap and water. If irritation develops, seek medical attention.
Inhalation of Dust: Move a person to fresh air. If symptoms persist (coughing, difficulty breathing), seek medical attention.
3. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability: The tool is not flammable, but plastic casing may burn if exposed to fire. Sparks generated during cutting can ignite flammable materials.
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical powder, or carbon dioxide (CO₂) for fires involving tools.
Fire Response: In event of fire, evacuate the area and call emergency services. Use appropriate extinguishers; water may be used for general fires but not for electrical fires where live equipment is involved.

The set may include different-sized bits to accommodate various hole diameters.
Glue Gun
A glue gun, specifically a 40-watt glue gun, is a handheld tool designed for dispensing hot melt adhesive in a controlled and precise manner. It typically consists of a heating element powered by a 40-watt electrical system, a trigger mechanism to control the adhesive flow, and a nozzle for directing the melted glue. The glue stick, usually made of thermoplastic materials, is inserted into the gun, melted by the heating element, and then extruded through the nozzle as a liquid adhesive. This versatile tool is commonly used in various DIY projects, crafts, and home repairs due to its quick and efficient bonding capabilities. The 40-watt power rating indicates the electrical power consumed by the glue gun to heat the adhesive to its melting point.
