operating a tool. Do not use a
tool while you are tired or under

the inuence of drugs, alcohol or

medication. A moment of inattention
while operating tools may result in
serious personal injury.

Use personal protective equip-b.

injuries.

in unexpected situations.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose d.
clothing or jewelry. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes,

jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.

Only use safety equipment that e.
has been approved by an appropri­ate standards agency. Unapproved

safety equipment may not provide
adequate protection. Eye protection
must be ANSI-approved and breath­ing protection must be NIOSH-ap-

proved for the specic hazards in the

work area.
