Wear a full face shield if you are producing metal filings or wood chips. Wear an ANSI

across running machines.

10. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer

performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool
cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician.
The handles must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease at all times.

or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified
technician.
