PERSONAL SAFETY

•

Stay alert

, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool.

Do not use a power tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.

•

Dress properly.

Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair,

clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.

•

Use safety apparel and equipment.

Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields

that comply with current national standards, or when needed, a face shield.  Use a dust mask
in  dusty  work  conditions.    This  applies  to  all  persons  in  the  work  area.   Also  use  non-skid
safety  shoes,  a  hardhat,  gloves,  dust  collection  systems,  and  hearing  protection  when
appropriate.

•

Do not over reach.

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

•

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches

before connecting to the power supply or turning on

the tool. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.

•

Never remove or install blades, conduct any maintenance, or make any other
adjustments while the tractor engine is running.

Always shut the engine off, remove the

ignition key, and disconnect the PTO shaft prior to carrying out any of the aforementioned
procedures. Consult your tractor’s manual for safe shutdown procedures to prevent
accidental ignition.
