6. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools maintained and clean.
Properly maintained tools are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Do not
use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools "Do not use" until repaired
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation.
If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
