That's why I've put together a list of six essential safety tips to keep you and your home in one piece while you're working on your next project. So grab your tools, put on your safety goggles (because they're not just for show), and let's get it done while keeping things safe and sound.
1. Put on your safety gear - you CAN look like a superhero in goggles and gloves!
2. Read the instructions - knowledge is power and safety!
3. Check your tools - make sure they're in tip-top shape before you start swinging.

6. Be aware of your surroundings - watch out for any potential hazards, and if in doubt, ask for help. Remember, it's better to be safe than sorry!
