Safety

Eye protection such as safety glasses must be worn:

• Only when operating power equipment

• At all times when in the shop

• Only for those students who do not already wear prescription glasses

• When you want to

If you find a power tool with a damaged power cord or with a switch that does not work, what  

    should you do?

• Report the condition to the instructor immediately so the tool can be locked up until it is repaired

• Try to fix the problem yourself

• Put it back into the tool cabinet, as it does not work

• Report the defect to the instructor after you have finished using the tool

When disconnecting portable power tools from a power receptacle, you should:

• Remove your safety glasses to better see the cord end

• Not remove it, but leave it plugged in

• Pull on the plug end, and not the cord

• Pull on the cord, and not the plug end

Long hair, loose clothing, jewelry, and long sleeves need what kind of attention?

• All clothing should be tucked in or rolled back (such as long sleeves). Loose jewelry must be removed, and long hair should be tied up.

• Long hair must be tied up, but long clothing does not need special attention

• Long sleeves and loose clothing must be rolled up and tucked in, but long hair is not a problem

• Long sleeves and loose hair and jewelry are not safety hazards, as all machines have the necessary safety guards to keep them from becoming tangled in a moving part

An ‘Operator Zone” refers to:

• The area of the shop floor where all students except the machine operator must stand

• The area next to the telephone in case there is a need to call for emergency help

• The area of the shop floor where the machine operator only should stand

• The floor space around the instructor’s desk
