Farm implements like ordinary plow and wooden harrow should be checked thoroughly before use.

moving parts like bearings. Tractors should be tuned-up very well by skilled operator. Check on their oil, lubricant,
fuel and cooling system. Tools that are worn out should be separated and be fixed immediately to avoid accident

Basic Safety Rules for Hand Tools

 ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.
 Follow the correct procedure for using EVERY tool.
 DON’T work with OILY or GREASY hands

care
 SECURE all small work & short work with a vise or
clamp.
 DON’T use tools which are LOOSE or CRACKED.
 DON’T use a file without a HANDLE.
 DON’T use screwdrivers as chisels or pry bars.
 AFTER USING A TOOL — clean it and return it to its
proper storage place.
 Use the RIGHT TYPE of tool for the job.
 Don’t use tools for things they weren’t meant for
 Cut away from yourself when you use chisels and
other edged tools
 DON’T FORCE screws; make sure that the correct
screw for the job is being used.

your job.
