Power Tool Institute launches new website and publishes updated guide for safe operation of power tools

The “Safety is Specific” illustrated publication compiles new information for both general guidelines and specific instructions for almost two dozen categories of power tools and batteries

The Power Tool Institute (PTI), the leading organization for power tool safety resources, information and education, launched a newly redesigned website and released an updated publication detailing the best practices for safe operation of a wide variety of power tools.

The “Safety is Specific” illustrated publication compiles new information for both general guidelines and specific instructions for almost two dozen categories of power tools and batteries. From band saws to shapers and router tables, the content details useful information for professional tradesmen, do-it-yourselfers and vocational students alike.

The publication is part of the Power Tool Institute’s recently launched strategic rebrand that features new creative elements and a refreshed website that provides an elevated and enhanced user experience in an easy-to-navigate format. The “Safety is Specific” publication is available to download at PTI’s website.

Power tools and power tool batteries have the potential to cause injury when not used properly. They must be used carefully and kept in safe operating condition. Users should always read and understand the tool’s instruction manual, tool markings and packaging instructions before starting any work.

The PTI is the leading organization for building global understanding of power tools and for maintaining high standards of safety in the industry. The organization’s mission is to educate the public about the usefulness and importance of power tools and to promote high standards of safety and quality control in the manufacture of power tools. The PTI accomplishes this work by preparing and distributing information about the safe use of power tools.
