Folding Saw

Safety measures and precautions

1. Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
   • Use safety glasses or goggles to protect your eyes from debris and wood chips.
   • Wear gloves to protect your hands from blisters and splinters.
2. Choose the Right Tool for the Job:
   • Ensure the folding saw is appropriate for the material you are cutting.
   • Check the blade's sharpness before use.
3. Inspect the Folding Saw:
   • Before using, inspect the saw for any damage or defects.
   • Make sure the blade is securely locked in the open position.
4. Maintain a Secure Grip:
   • Hold the saw with a firm and comfortable grip.
   • Keep hands away from the cutting path and blade.
5. Establish a Stable Work Surface:
   • Ensure the material being cut is well-supported and stable.
   • Avoid cutting on an unstable or slippery surface.
6. Maintain Proper Body Position:

   • Ensure there is enough space for the full range of motion while cutting.
10. Store Safely:
    • When not in use, fold the saw and secure it safely to prevent accidental opening.
    • Store the tool in a sheath or case to protect the blade and prevent injuries during transport.
11. Emergency Preparedness:
    • Keep a basic first aid kit nearby in case of accidents.
    • Know the location of emergency facilities in the area.
