I'd keep your phone in your pocket at all times if I were you
That's what I do
And I've had a couple of incidents working alone in my workshop
One time I was changing the drive belt on my stand alone belt facer
The base was cast iron and extremely heavy
I had my arm through the inspection hatch at the bottom removing the belt when the motor dropped down trapping my arm
There's not enough room to get my other arm in to lift the motor
Plus the weight was holding my arm against the sharp edge inside the hatch
I was married at that time and shouted to my wife in the house but she couldn't hear me
In my panic I looked around and saw my large adjustable spanner was just in reach
I grabbed that and forced it in next to my arm and managed to lift the motor enough to get my arm out
Never ever again!!
I learned a lesson that day
Another time I was working on a mates gixer 11 when I managed to tip it over off of my work bench!
It was completely upside down with it's clocks touching the guages on my oxy acetylene porta pack!!
In a narrow gap between the wall and my hydraulic bench
I then had the job of holding the weight of the bike whilst slowly lowering the ramp
I doubt I'm strong enough now to do that again
I always ratchet strap anything I work on these days
