3. When lifting the mast of the drilling rig, the operator should stand in a safe position.
4. When starting the electric motor, all friction clutches of the drilling rig should be opened.
5. When the drilling rig is working, it is strictly prohibited to remove the protective cover.
6. Before starting work, the reliability of the braking device, as well as the performance of the friction clutch and starting device, should be checked.
7. Before the electric motor stops, it is prohibited to inspect the drilling rig.
8. It is strictly prohibited to tighten any parts of the drilling rig during operation.
9. When the drilling rig is in operation, refueling is strictly prohibited. The upper pulley of the mast should be refueled when the drilling rig is stopped.
10. It is not allowed to work on the mast before the electric motor stops.
11. In any case, when someone is working on the upper section of the mast, no other personnel are allowed to stay under the mast.

17. When cleaning the suction tube, a sturdy and reliable steel wire rope should be used to form a loop, wrapped around the lower end of the suction tube, and flipped over.
18. When using pulleys to lift or lower casing, as well as during salvage operations, all workers should leave the drilling site.
19. When using a crane to pull out the casing, in order to prevent the casing from falling off, it must be fixed together.
20. When the lighting is stopped (at night), drilling work should be stopped. When the drilling tool is still in the well, it should be carefully removed from the well.
