Floors and work areas must be kept clean and clear of hazards. 10.Tools must be returned to their proper location after use. 11.Focus on your task and do not interrupt or distract anyone using power equipment. 12.Report strange noises, faulty operation, or broken equipment immediately. 13.All accidents (even small ones) must be reported to your instructor. 14.Follow any and all instructions from your teacher. 15.When in doubt, ask. “We make teaching Ag easier.”
