Work Safely – Follow these Rules
1. Always wear safety glasses when using
a hammer, chisel or other tools that may
cause chips to fly.
2. Keep work area organized and clean. Wipe
up oil or spills of any kind. Keep tools and
parts off of the floor. Eliminate the possibility
of a fall which could result in a serious injury.
3. Be sure to reinstall safety devices, guards or
shields after adjusting and/or servicing the
machine.
4. After servicing, be sure all tools, parts, or
servicing equipment are removed from the
machine.
5. Use a safety catch on all hoist hooks. Do not
take a chance, the load could slip off the
hook.
6. Electrical storage batteries give off explosive
hydrogen gas when charging and continue
to do so for some time after receiving a steady
charge. Do not under any circumstances allow
an electric spark or an open flame near the
battery. Always disconnect a battery cable
before working on the electrical system.
Always wear safety goggles when servicing
batteries.

hammers and chisels or punches when pullers
should be used increases the probability of
injury.

parts. Use approved air blow guns, do not
exceed 30 psi, wear safety glass or goggles
and use proper shielding to protect everyone
in the work area.
9. Do not wear rings, wrist watches or loose
fitting clothing when working on machinery
