    • Replace the power lead cable before further use.

    • Apply plenty of electrical tape over the damaged area

By replacing the damaged cable, you ensure that the tool is safe to use and minimize the risk of accidents or electrical damage. Applying electrical tape or using the tool as little as possible may not provide a reliable or long-term solution to the problem. Wearing gloves can offer some protection, but it is still necessary to address the damaged power lead.
