Take time to read and understand them. Here are a few of the most important safety precautions:

  • Unplug the saw when you’re changing the blade or not using it.
  • Keep your fingers at least 6 in. from the path of the blade. Some saws have lines to indicate the danger zone.
  • Wear safety glasses and hearing protection when you’re operating the saw.
  • Don’t reach under the blade while it’s spinning.
  • Let the blade come to a complete stop at the end of each cut before lifting it.

Video: Be aware of the blade. Wear safety goggles while using it. Make sure to look over the wood for dangerous knots and whatnot.

Requires specific type of nails. Also can be fairly dangerous without proper safety techniques. 
Nails glued together in a long strip. Must be loaded into the end of the magazine. 
It's handy that the nails are pre glued because it has to be very specific, and it would consume time to glue ourselves.
Most nail guns are powered by pressurized air fed into the gun.
Always wear goggles. Keep hands away from the nose of the gun. And finally, don't point it at other people.

Station 2:The nails have to be facing the right way.
Gun needs to remain perpendicular.
wear safety goggles, and never point the gun at another person.
Rule of thumb is the fastener needs to be at least twice as long as the thing you're fastening

Station 3: Label the parts of a nail gun. ]]> 2018-01-11 15:27:13 UTC https://padlet.com/18porterfj/zpe05b0pvh7n/wish/220624468 Jig Saw 18porterfj https://padlet.com/18porterfj/zpe05b0pvh7n/wish/221009276 aA]]> 2018-01-12 15:39:54 UTC https://padlet.com/18porterfj/zpe05b0pvh7n/wish/221009276
