SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
  1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses or goggles, to protect your eyes from any flying debris or particles.
  2. Inspect the Pliers: Before use, inspect the combination pliers for any signs of damage, wear, or defects. Ensure that the handles, joints, and cutting edges are in good condition.
  3. Choose the Right Tool for the Job: Ensure that you are using the correct type and size of combination pliers for the task at hand. Using the wrong tool can lead to inefficient work and increased risk of accidents.
  4. Proper Grip: Maintain a secure and comfortable grip on the pliers. Ensure that your hands are dry to prevent slipping. Use the appropriate hand positioning on the handles for optimal leverage.
  5. Keep the Work Area Clean: Maintain a clean and organized work area to prevent tripping hazards and to have easy access to your tools. Avoid clutter that may interfere with your work.
  6. Secure Workpieces: Secure the workpiece properly before using the pliers to prevent it from moving unexpectedly. This can help avoid accidental slips or injuries.
  7. Positioning of Hands: Keep your hands away from the jaws while using the cutting function. Ensure that your fingers and other body parts are clear of the cutting path to avoid injury.
  8. Use Two Hands for Cutting: When cutting wires or other materials, use two hands on the handles for better control and leverage. This helps distribute the force evenly and reduces the risk of slipping.
  9. Cut Away from the Body: Always cut away from your body and other people to minimize the risk of injury in case the pliers slip during use.
  10. Use the Right Amount of Force: Avoid using excessive force when gripping or cutting materials. Let the tool do the work, and if too much force is required, reevaluate your technique or consider using a different tool.
  11. Store Properly: When not in use, store the combination pliers in a designated tool storage area. This helps prevent damage and ensures that they are readily available and in good condition for the next use.
  12. Training and Education: Ensure that users are adequately trained in the proper use of combination pliers. Understanding the tool's capabilities and limitations is crucial for safe and effective operation.
