It outlines the proper procedures, such as rinsing tools with water, scrubbing off soil, wiping tools dry, and hanging them properly after cleaning. When sharpening tools, they should be sharpened before and after use, and parts should be oiled or greased. Tools should be stored in designated areas and locations that make them accessible, but also prevent damage from things like moisture.
