Here is just another thought on tapes that can be used. Another type you may consider is that sports wrap/tape that athlete’s use or possibly vet wrap (fairly inexpensive at any pet supply store). Really any kind of tape will work though. But ultimately, the best recommendation would be as others here have said about removing the item while you work. Loose clothing and jewelry around moving machinery is an accident waiting to happen.
I remember a time in my younger days when I used to work on a lot of the local farms in the area. One day the guy we were working for sent one of my coworkers out to cut hay and he had on loose fitting pants (that looked to be a bit long). Well, a couple hours later he came walking back to the barn with a pair of torn shorts and a disgusted look on his face. If anybody here has seen or used a John Deere H, you know it has a short platform. He just got lazy ridding around & around and let his feet dangle to far back and the PTO grabbed those loose pant legs. Luckily, the pants were old and thin otherwise the whole situation could have been disastrous. He was very lucky that day and learned a hard lesson. As well we all did that day.
