SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
  1. Eye Protection:
    • Always wear safety glasses or goggles to protect your eyes from metal chips, debris, and any potential splashing of cutting fluids.
  2. Hand Protection:
    • Use appropriate gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges and to provide a better grip on the tools.
  3. Clothing:
    • Wear appropriate clothing that covers your skin to prevent injuries from metal shavings and to protect against contact with cutting fluids.
  4. Secure Workpiece:
    • Securely clamp the workpiece to prevent movement during the tapping process. This ensures stability and accuracy while reducing the risk of accidents.
  5. Tool Inspection:
    • Inspect the tap set before use to ensure that the tools are in good condition. Look for any signs of damage or wear that could affect their performance.
  6. Proper Technique:
    • Use the correct tapping technique, applying steady and even pressure. Avoid excessive force, as this can lead to broken taps or other accidents.
  7. Lubrication:
    • Use cutting fluid or lubricant during the tapping process to reduce friction, heat, and to improve the overall performance of the tap. This also helps in extending the tool's lifespan.
  8. Tool Size and Compatibility:
    • Ensure that you are using the correct size tap for the hole you are working on. Using the wrong size may result in damage to the tap or the workpiece.
  9. Stable Workspace:
    • Work in a clean and organized environment to avoid tripping hazards. Keep the work area well-lit and free from clutter.
  10. Handle with Care:
    • Handle the taps with care, especially when inserting or removing them from the workpiece. Sudden movements or improper handling may cause injury.
  11. Secure Bench Grinder:
    • If you need to sharpen or modify taps, use a securely mounted bench grinder and follow safety guidelines for its use.
  12. Know Your Material:
    • Different materials may require different tapping speeds and cutting fluid applications. Be aware of the properties of the material you are working with.
  13. Education and Training:
    • Ensure that you are trained and have the necessary knowledge to use the tap set properly. If you are unfamiliar with the process, seek guidance from experienced individuals or professionals.
