  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Power tools should be grounded and have good wire insulation to ensure safety during use. Grounding helps to prevent electric shocks by providing a path for electrical current to flow into the ground, rather than through the user. Good wire insulation prevents the risk of electrical shorts or fires by protecting the wires from damage or contact with other conductive materials. Therefore, it is important for power tools to have both grounding and good wire insulation to minimize the risk of accidents and ensure safe operation.

It is always recommended to turn off the power tool and unplug it before making any adjustments or modifications to ensure the safety of the user.
