Eye protection of course. You only get the one set, take care of them. Drills can grab and spin whatever you're drilling into. Clamp or otherwise support your work.

* '''July 14, 2017.''' One of the two posts that adjusts the motor position is missing its nut. Also, there is a rack-and-pinion lever that moves the motor in and out, and one of the posts had skipped a tooth. I worked it back into position, and I believe it is now safe to use, despite the missing nut. Replacing the nut will require removing the motor, which is a two-person job.

* '''July 18, 2017.''' This is fixed now. For the record, the missing nut was M12-1.75. I put some "purple" locktite on both nuts, so hopefully we won't have to take it apart again.
