A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
i. Only use safety equipment that 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-approved for the
specific hazards in the work area.
j. Do not lay the tool down until it has come to
a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the
surface and pull the tool out of your control.
k. When using a handheld power tool,
maintain a firm grip on the tool with both
hands to resist starting torque.
l. Do not depress the spindle lock when
starting or during operation.
