I hardly ever wear gloves for doing anything---just can't do any work with them on. The only exception is when using a drain cleaner (roto rooter) I do wear heavy rubber gloves for that but even that scares me but you have to be able to control the cable somehow. My BIL was helping me one day and had on those filmsy canvas type gloves and when the cable got some tension on it and opened the coils and then closed on his gloves. Close call but because you are using a pressure switch with your foot--he got it stopped really fast (not turning very fast to start with--but could hurt you).
Don't wear any rings when working with anything (much to the wifes disapproval). Being a auto-truck mechanic for most of my life have seen rings cause to many accidents. Rings shorted out across a battery just fries your finger in short order.
