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!
A lot of you might think this is a weird thing to bring up, but, what about rules, in the sense:
If you have any hair of a certain length or greater (e.g. 6 inches head, 1 inch mustache/beard, it must be secured and held back or cut off to use certain tools. Nothing's worse than getting a strand of hair stuck within a drill's air intake!
