DIY Safety

Power tools have revolutionised the way in which we undertake our everyday DIY work and cordless drill drivers have become an essential component of all DIY tool kits. Drills have proven to be invaluable for many maintenance and repair tasks around the house and no power tool collection is complete without one.

SDS Drills come in two standard sizes and they are SDS Plus (10mm) and SDS-Max (18mm). These sizes relate the size of the shank. SDS Plus is the many common and can withstand a hammer of up to 4Kg, and SDS Max for hammers over 5Kg. SDS Plus grips the drill bit in two places whereas SDS Max grip in three places. With the SDS drill you can use a chuck adaptor that when utilized enables the use of standard drill bits for rotary drilling. It is wise to avoid SDS Drills that do not have a safety clutch. If the drill bit jams and is unable to turn a safety clutch may prevent the drill body from spinning. This spinning may cause severe damage to the wrist and arm with the possibility of the drill being yanked from your hand, jumping out of the hole and coming into contact with a part of the body. A safety clutch should be high on your list of required features.

Any tool should feel like an extension of your hand. The tool may feel great while standing in the store aisle but try to imagine what it may feel like after a few hours of use. While in the shop make sure all controls are convenient, and check to see if the forward/reverse and high/low speed switches in particular are easy to use.

The chuck is the attachment where the bit is inserted, having jaws that grip the bit. Drills come in 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" sizes. This measurement is the chuck size and indicates the shaft diameter of the bits and accessories that may fit the drill. Chucks can be keyed (the jaws are tightened or loosened with a key) or keyless (the chuck may be tightened or loosened by hand). Keyless chucks offer two major benefits. If you have ever misplaced or lost a chuck key, you already know one of them. A keyless chuck may also allow bits to be changed more quickly. A real plus when you need to change from a drill bit to a screwdriver bit repeatedly or if you happen to be wearing gloves on the job. You can change the chuck in some keyless models with only one hand because the shaft locks when the trigger is off. In many models, however, you have to use both hands to turn the chuck in opposite directions. While you're in the shop change the bit on different drill drivers to see what style of keyless chuck you prefer.

Nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries represent the latest breakthrough in batteries. They're smaller and run longer than standard nickel-cadmium (Nicad) batteries. NiMH batteries also pose less of a hazard when it comes to disposal than Nicads because they don't contain any cadmium, which is highly toxic. Makita, Bosch, Hitachi and DeWalt offer NiMH batteries, and other manufacturers may soon produce these power cells too.

Lithium-ion batteries may rupture, ignite, or explode when exposed to high temperature environments, for example in an area that is prone to prolonged direct sunlight. Short-circuiting a Li-ion battery may cause it to ignite or explode, and as such, any attempt to open or modify a Li-ion battery's casing or circuitry is hazardous. Li-ion batteries contain safety tools that protect the cells inside from abuse, and, if damaged, may cause the battery to ignite or explode.

For many applications around the house a small set of common twist bits may normally serve your needs. You'll also need a drill to turn the bits and some tools to measure and mark where you want the hole. This includes a ruler or tape measure, a pencil or scribe and if working with metal, a centre punch and a hammer. The first and most important step is marking where you want the hole. You may also use a scribe on wood or plastic. Sometimes even a pencil may work well. As long as you may see your marks and they don't rub off when working your material it doesn't normally matter. Without a punch mark, the bit would drift around. If it did eventually catch, it would quite likely be in the wrong location.

Not all holes need to go all the way through the material. Some holes need only be a certain depth in the wood. The easiest way to make certain you drill the correct depth is to measure the necessary hole depth on your drill bit. Then mark that point on the bit with a marker or wrap some tape around the bit at the measured spot. Then when you drill only insert the drill bit to the mark or tape. You may also purchase bit collars that slide over the bit and are secured at the appropriate depth. The collars usually attach with a small hex wrench or screwdriver. The drilling is undertaken and you have to get the bit out. Give the drill a little power to spin the bit and slowly pull it out of the hole. Don’t be too fast or pull it out without spinning the bit. Either of these may cause the bit to bind in the hole. The hole is complete and now you need to attach the fastener. Bits can be inserted into the drill turning the drill into a screwdriver or wrench. If you are attaching screws determine the size of the screw head and select a matching screwdriver bit. Connect the screwdriver bit to the drill in the same way you would other bits. Put the bit head in the screw head and squeeze the trigger. Be careful not to provide so much power that you go all the way through the material (if that’s not called for) or force the screw head too far down into the material. It’s easy to get carried away with the power of the drill. If you are attaching a bolt fastener you may also purchase bolt sockets that may be attached to the drill. Match the bit size with the bolt, attach the bit to the drill, and screw in the bolt.

Also known as a wood or dowel bit, a spur point bit has a central point and two raised spurs that help keep the bit drilling straight. The bit cuts timber very fast when utilized in a power drill and leaves a clean sided hole. They are ideal for drilling holes for dowels as the sides of the holes are clean and parallel. Sizes range from 3 to 10mm. Spur point bits should only be utilized for drilling wood or some plastics. Sharpen the point and spurs with a fine file or edge of a fine grindstone; the angle between the point and spurs should be 90°.

DIY Safety tips:

Keep water away from anything electric. Don't even wash walls without turning off the power at the mains switch. Never be tempted to use a socket, plug or equipment which could still have water in or on it - allowing it to dry could mean the difference between life and death. Read manufacturer's instructions on extension cables - they could overheat if left coiled. Check an extension is appropriate for the appliance it is connected to.
Always use the correct tools for the job. It is worth investing in high quality equipment as this may be safer and may probably do the job speedier.

When using a power drill, select a model that has a plastic non-conducting body. Unplug the drill before fitting parts and remove the chuck key before switching it on. Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewellery, which could get caught in the drill.

Never overload a socket with too numerous plugs or adaptors. Do not allow cables and flexes to become kinked or frayed. Make sure plugs are undamaged and tightly closed with no loose connections and that cord grips are tightened. Ensure plugs are correctly fused. Fuses protect cables and flexes from the effects of overheating caused by short circuits and overload.

Only wash with proprietary skin cleaners. Do not use solvents or other chemicals. Do not eat, smoke or drink while handling materials and wash before meals and snacks. Never dispose of chemicals into the drains. Dispose of rubbish carefully. Lay oily rags out flat outside to dry to avoid the possibility of spontaneous combustion.
