Of course, if it rains, you should stop all work involving power tools immediately!

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

We slope workers still work on rainy days, don't we?

For example, assembling the frame.

At that time, it wasn't just about assembling the structure—we also had to secure it, bring up materials, and drive in anchors.

And you're cutting rebar and drilling holes for anchors, right?

A rebar cutter is a power tool.

Hammer drills are also 100V power tools.

 

It gives you a little shock when you use it in the rain, doesn't it?

The manufacturer's instruction manual states that you should not use it on rainy days.

 

I'll be using a hammer drill powered by a generator via an outdoor extension cord reel (drum).

The safety guidelines say to use an outdoor cord reel, but,

First of all, what kind of power tools can actually be used in the rain...?

And, of course, work doesn’t just stop—I’m sure there are plenty of people out there working in the rain, feeling a bit of a chill.

 

I know this isn't supposed to be allowed, but in reality, people do it, don't they?

People often talk about insulated gloves, but when you're actually doing the work, you're soaked from head to toe, so it doesn't really matter.

When I think about it, even if we could get the assembly done on a rainy day,

This means you shouldn't use power tools to install anchors on rainy days.

Is the ground okay?

That said, it's hard to tell, though.

Is the coach capable of making that decision?

Is the craftsman saying we should stop because things are getting out of hand?

Well, normally, when you're using power tools, the general rule is to wrap things up as soon as it starts raining.

 

If you don't keep that in mind, it'll be too late once something happens.

That said, there are quite a few companies that do this kind of work as a matter of course, aren't there?

What do you all think?

By the way, as far as ground anchors are concerned, I think they’re fine as long as it’s not lightning.

 

See you later.
