Hand Tools

Overview

Users should familiarize themselves with the hand tools safety rules.
 

Hand Tools Safety Rules:

1. Always wear safety glasses/goggles.
2. Always think about where the tool will go if it slips or breaks.
3. Never use tools that are broken, damaged, or have burrs on them – especially chisels, hammers, and screwdrivers.  Report any broken or damaged tools to the shop’s technicians.
4. Always hold work securely in a vise.
5. Always use a brush to remove chips.
6. Never use a file without a handle.
7. Remove all burrs from your job before handling it.
8. If your job heats up, mark it or place it so no one can be injured by it.
