a dry place, elevated or locked where
practicable so that any access to them is
prevented

Always use a correct tool for the job to be
done.
E.g. avoid using small tools and
accessories for work that should be actually
done with a heavy tool. Use the tools only for
the purposes they were designed for. Keep
the tools clean and sharp.

etc. used for replacement of a tool should be
removed before the machine is switched on. .

everything installed as appropriate? Are any
