Common misuse of power tools, these incorrect usage methods affect the performance and lifespan of power tools. 1. Forcibly stopping the rotation of the power tool using the braking device while it is running at high speed. 2. Applying excessive pressure on the tool during use. 3. Using the tool beyond its intended applications and capabilities. 4. Starting to process the workpiece before the tool has reached a constant speed after starting. 5. Changing the rotation direction of the working head before the tool has completely stopped. 6. Operating the tool for a long time in a dusty environment without timely maintenance, leading to damage. 7. Improper use or storage causing foreign objects to fall.
Common incorrect usage methods of power tools, these improper usage methods affect the performance and lifespan of power tools.
1. Forcibly stopping the rotation of power tools using the braking device while they are running at high speed.
2. Applying excessive pressure on the tool during use.
3. Using the tool beyond its applications and capabilities.
4. Starting to process workpieces before the tool has reached a constant speed after starting.
5. Changing the rotation direction of the working head before the tool has completely stopped.
6. Working the tool for a long time in a dusty environment without timely maintenance, causing damage.
7. Causing damage by allowing foreign objects to fall into the casing due to improper use or storage.
8. Using a power wrench with a size that exceeds the specified socket.
9. Using engraving machines and electric circular saws upside down on the workbench.
10. Using dull planers or blades that do not meet requirements for electric planers and planing machines, and planing depth exceeding the tool's capability (specification) range.
11. Electric hammers and rotary hammers damaged due to excessive or non-genuine lubricating oil, using poor quality or dull drill bits, and applying excessive pressure on the tool during work.
12. Using polishing discs to cut materials with angle grinders or using cutting discs for polishing work.
13. Using unsuitable saw blades for processing materials with a jigsaw. Not correctly selecting the track cutting method for cutting workpieces.
14. Using inferior and dull cutting discs with cutting machines (stone machines), using them to carve grooves in walls and floors, and applying excessive pressure on the tool during processing.
15. Cutting with a rotary miter saw (aluminum saw) before the saw blade has reached a constant speed, not securing the material during processing, applying excessive pressure on the handle while cutting, and having an uneven feed speed and force.
16. Dull blades of electric shears and electric scissors, cutting materials that are too thick.
17. Frequently insufficient charging and discharging time for batteries, frequently impacting the battery, and poor contact with the power socket of the charger, causing battery damage.
18. Using an electric drill as a screwdriver or tapping machine (which can cause damage to gears, rotors, and other components).
