Safety Precautions

1. Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
   • Use safety glasses to protect your eyes from any flying debris or accidental contact with materials.
   • Consider wearing gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges or potential injuries.
2. Choose the Right Size:
   • Ensure that you are using the correct size of hex wrench for the job. Using the wrong size may result in slippage, damaging the tool or the fastener.
3. Inspect Tools Before Use:
   • Check the hex wrenches for any signs of damage, wear, or defects before using them. Damaged tools can lead to accidents and injuries.
4. Apply Proper Force:
   • Use controlled and appropriate force when turning hex screws. Avoid using excessive force, as this may cause the tool to slip, leading to potential injuries.
5. Secure Workpiece:
   • Secure the workpiece properly before using the hex wrench to prevent unexpected movement. This is especially important when working on elevated surfaces or using power tools in combination with the hex wrench.
6. Work in Well-Lit Areas:
   • Ensure that the work area is well-lit to avoid misjudgments and accidental slips.
7. Mind Your Body Position:
   • Position yourself in a stable and balanced manner. Avoid awkward postures that could lead to strain or loss of balance.
8. Use the Ballpoint End Appropriately:
   • The ballpoint end of the hex wrench allows for a certain degree of flexibility in the angle of approach. Be mindful of the tool's orientation to prevent accidental slips or damage.
9. Be Aware of Surroundings:
   • Be aware of your surroundings, especially if there are other people nearby. Communicate and ensure that everyone is clear of the work area.
10. Store Tools Properly:
    • After use, store the hex wrenches in a designated tool storage area to prevent tripping hazards and to keep them in good condition.
11. Avoid Improper Extensions:
    • Avoid using extensions on hex wrenches unless explicitly designed for it. Using makeshift extensions can compromise control and lead to accidents.
12. Educate Yourself:
    • Familiarize yourself with the specific features and usage guidelines for the particular set of hex wrenches you are using.
