Safety first

• When using a wood chisel, ensure the timber is secure in a vice or work bench and always chisel away from your body, keeping hands behind the cutting edge

• Always wear the right protective safety equipment when necessary. Wear safety goggles and a dust mask when sawing, planing or sanding timber. Safety goggles should also be worn when drilling into timber

• Wear ear plugs or ear defenders when using power tools
