Combination Feeler Gauge Set

Safety Precautions

1. Eye Protection:
   • Wear safety glasses or goggles to protect your eyes from any metal particles or debris that may be generated during the measurement process.
2. Hand Protection:
   • Consider wearing gloves to protect your hands, especially when working with sharp-edged feeler gauge blades or when handling tools in a potentially oily or greasy environment.
3. Proper Lighting:
   • Ensure that the work area is well-lit to clearly see the measurements and avoid any errors or mishandling of tools.
4. Stable Work Surface:
   • Use a stable and flat work surface to prevent accidents or slipping of tools. A stable surface also ensures accurate measurements.
5. Secure the Workpiece:
   • Securely clamp or hold the workpiece in place to prevent movement during measurements. This helps maintain accuracy and prevents injuries.
6. Correct Tool for the Job:
   • Use the correct size and type of feeler gauge blade for the specific measurement task. Using the wrong tool may result in inaccurate readings or potential damage.
7. Mind the Sharp Edges:
8. • Be cautious of the sharp edges of the feeler gauge blades. Handle the blades carefully to avoid cuts or injuries.
9. Clean and Dry Conditions:
   • Ensure that the tools and workpieces are clean and dry. Oil or debris on the blades can affect measurements and may create slippery conditions.
10. Store Properly:
    • Store the feeler gauges in a protective case when not in use. This prevents damage to the blades and ensures they are readily available and organized for future use.
11. Follow Operating Instructions:
    • Adhere to the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines for using the feeler gauge set. This includes proper handling, storage, and any maintenance requirements.
12. Keep Tools in Good Condition:
    • Regularly inspect the feeler gauges for any signs of wear, damage, or deformation. Damaged tools may provide inaccurate measurements and can be unsafe to use.
13. Training and Familiarity:
    • Ensure that individuals using the feeler gauge set are properly trained and familiar with its operation. This reduces the risk of errors and promotes safe usage.
