Week #5: (9/30) Tool Safety

[rjagodowski]

Today we will discuss Tool Safety.

Since many of the tools presented in this chapter are also commonly found in home workshops & garages, the safety topics here should be incorporated into your home environment as well. Please read Chapter 4 in the text on Maintenance Tools. An assignment on the Review Questions at the end of the chapter will be listed here soon.
