Safety measures and precautions

1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
   • Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses or goggles to protect your eyes from potential flying debris.
2. Inspect the Tool:
   • Before using the puller, inspect it for any damage, wear, or defects. Ensure that the jaws are in good condition and the screw mechanism operates smoothly.
3. Choose the Right Size:
   • Select a puller that is appropriate for the size of the component you are working on. Using the right size ensures proper engagement and reduces the risk of tool failure.
4. Follow the Manufacturer's Instructions:
   • Adhere to the manufacturer's guidelines and instructions for the specific 2-jaw puller you are using. This includes load capacity, recommended usage, and any specific safety precautions provided by the manufacturer.
5. Secure the Work Area:
   • Ensure that the work area is clean, well-lit, and organized. Remove any unnecessary tools or equipment to prevent tripping hazards.
6. Stabilize the Work piece:
   • Secure the work piece properly to prevent unexpected movement. If possible, use additional clamps or supports to stabilize the component being pulled.
7. Apply Even Force:
   • Apply force evenly when using the puller. Avoid excessive force that may lead to sudden component release or damage to the tool.
8. Use the Right Technique:
   • Follow the recommended technique for using the 2-jaw puller. Ensure that the jaws are properly aligned and centered on the component to avoid uneven pressure.
9. Inspect Components Before Pulling:
   • Check the condition of the components before attempting to pull them. Components under excessive stress or damage may fail unexpectedly, leading to potential hazards.
10. Proper Handle Positioning:
    • Position yourself in a way that allows you to have proper leverage and control over the tool. Use the handles of the puller in a manner that minimizes the risk of hand or arm injuries.
11. Avoid Using Excessive Force:
    • Do not use excessive force that goes beyond the tool's rated capacity. If excessive force is required, reassess the situation and consider alternative methods or seek professional advice.
12. Keep Hands Clear:
    • Keep your hands and other body parts clear of the moving parts of the puller to prevent injuries. Use caution when operating the tool to avoid pinching or crushing hazards.
13. Work in a Well-Ventilated Area:
    • If you are working with materials that produce fumes or dust, ensure that you are in a well-ventilated area or use appropriate respiratory protection.
