Explanation:

• For Lena: Using an indoor - only drill outdoors goes against the equipment's intended use (misuse).
• For Paolo: Wearing safety glasses with a rotating saw is proper safety protocol, not misuse.
• For Cory: Plugging a three - prong (grounded) tool into an ungrounded, two - prong adapter misuses the electrical equipment (improper electrical connection).
• For Anette: Grabbing a tool with exposed wiring is misusing the tool (safety hazard and improper use as the tool is faulty/unusable safely).

Answer:

Lena is using her indoor - only pneumatic drill on the exterior of a worksite because the drills for outdoor use need repairs.
