Rule 4 of 31 · Chapter I — Respect the Machine
No loose sleeves, jewelry, or gloves
Why this rule exists
A spinning tool is looking for something to grab, and a dangling cuff or a ring or a glove finger is exactly that. Once the machine has your sleeve, it has your arm, and there's no letting go. Gloves feel protective but they're the worst offender at the drill press or lathe, because they turn a small nick into your whole hand getting pulled in. Loose stuff and rotating tools simply don't mix.
In practice
Roll your sleeves up or wear short ones. Take off rings, watches, and bracelets before you switch anything on, and tie back long hair well clear of the work. Skip the gloves at any rotating tool; if your hands are cold, run a space heater instead of covering them. Keep a shop apron with the strings tucked in, not hanging loose. Do a quick head-to-toe glance to check yourself before you hit the switch, every single time.
When it doesn't apply
Gloves earn their place away from spinning tools, handling rough lumber, splintery timbers, sharp sheet metal, or nasty finishes. Wear them for grunt work and hauling, then strip them off before you approach the saw, lathe, drill press, or router. The rule is about rotating machinery, not the whole shop.
