Every tool is designed for a specific use. Do not misuse. Inspect daily for defects.<br />

Keep tools in proper working condition - clean, sharp, oiled, dressed, and adjusted.<br />

Mushroomed chisels, drills, etc. cause dangerous flying objects. Keep them dressed.<br />

Never hit hardened steel with hardened steel, such as hitting a hatchet with a hammer.<br />

Do not use "cheaters" to increase capacity. Get a bigger sized tool.<br />

Carry tools in proper sheath, belt bag, or box. Points down.<br />

Do not carry pointed or sharp tools in any pockets.<br />

Eye protection is required for protection from flying particles.<br />

Do not use damaged tools—mark them and tag them as out of service. Give those tools to the<br />

Project Superintendent or SHSS.<br />

Know how to shut it off before turning it on. No locked "on" switches on hand held power<br />

tools.<br />

Eye protection is required for protection from flying particles.<br />

Power activated tools shall be inspected daily before use for proper operation of their safety<br />

devices. You must be authorized by your foreman to operate this equipment.<br />

All power tools designed to accommodate guards will have guards installed and functioning<br />

prior to use.<br />

Power supply must be properly attached to tool, and to source. Electric tools must be<br />

grounded (or "double insulated").<br />

Check area for other people before starting tool. Warn people nearby.<br />

Be prepared for jamming of rotating tools. Have good footing, good balance, and watch out<br />

for nearby obstructions. Check yourself for loose clothing.<br />
