Goofs & Blunders You Should Avoid.

I thought your always did that to wash out the old oil, or at least that is what I told the wife.
but it is almost like remembering to put the drain plug back in the boat before you launch it. Have seen several boats have to be recovered because of that.
 
Pay attention to what you are doing, do not clear grass from a running lawn mower. A ladder only has so many steps. Life is tuff for stupid people.

Last but not least use common sense and think for yourself.
 
My ex boss showed up at my shop one day,with the end on one finger missing at the first knuckle. Put his hand down to the grass outlet of his riding mower to clear something. At first he thought he'd hit a twig when he heard the "whack".

I read this and my stomach did a backflip.

I don't know how many times dad drilled that in my head to turn off the mower before reaching down and touch!

I worked with a kid that did something similar with a gas powered hedge trimmer. He was trimming Christmas trees and a bee was bothering him so he started swatting at it. Guess where his finger went.
 
My boss didn't realize just how far out of the grass port the arc of the cutter extended.
 
I rebuilt a 1935 Delta 14" bandsaw. Was having trouble getting the blade to track properly, so I had the upper wheel guard off while I made adjustments. Decided to turn the saw on. Saw ran for about 2 seconds, then the blade broke at the weld. Broken blade lightly kissed my face as I attempted to teleport away. Upper wheel shot skyward, hit the shop roof still rotating at speed, shot sideways and crashed into my tool chest, 20' away. I had 4 tiny blood drops on my face, 1/4" apart, and a skinned knee from my get away.
Don't run tools without guards in place.
