Failure to wear eye protection could
result in serious eye injury from flying
debris.
Pinch points:
Keep hands away from bending shoe,
rollers, and conduit when bender is in

Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry
which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip foot-
