1. **Pre-Use Inspection and Tool Condition:** Before any use, conduct a thorough visual inspection of the tool. Check for cracked casings, damaged power cords (chafing, cuts, exposed wires), and ensure safety guards are in place and functional. Defective tools must be immediately removed from service, tagged as 'DEFECTIVE - DO NOT USE', and reported for repair or replacement. Never use a tool that is not in perfect working order.
