Another similar point is to keep Everything out of the saw or drill area. These include neckties (some teams are classy), scarves, long-sleeved or loose clothing, long hair (tie it back!), and for a guy on our team last year, long beards.
If these get caught in the drill, saw, etc., then they will pull your face/arms into the drill, saw, etc., and really hurt you.
Just remember, keep everything away from the actual tool except the item to be cut, and wear those safety goggles!
