  wont hurt yourself. It is better to use a tool
  box or belt for storage to prevent injuries.

• When using power tools such as drills, motorized
  plumbing snakes and the like, it is best to read
  the users manual first. Follow the instructions
  and remember to hold the tools securely with both
  hands so you wont drop them and injure yourself.

• Guarantee that youll read labels and follow
  manufacturer instructions when using repair kits,
  drain cleaners and other chemicals. This way,
  youll know what to do in case they get in
  contact with your skin, your eyes or in case of
  other emergencies that result from improper use.

• Always wear a mask when using materials that
  produce noxious fumes or when youre involved in
  a project that requires sanding or sawing. Doing
  so will protect your lungs and avoid the
  inhalation of small particles that may harm your
  respiratory system.

• Dont forget to wear safety glasses or goggles.
  This is a must especially when youre using a
  drill, a saw, a hammer or even a plumbing snake.
  You just cant tell when small particles or sharp
  tools will fly right into your eyes so its
  better to be prepared than sorry.

• Give your hands protection, too. Wearing rubber
  gloves will prevent your hands from hurting when
  using tools and equipment. The gloves will also
  protect you from contaminants and bacteria found
  in drains, sewers and toilets.
