SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Safety Precautions

Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
- Always wear safety glasses or goggles to protect your eyes from flying debris.
- Use gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges and impacts.
Use a Suitable Work Surface:
- Work on a stable and secure surface to prevent slips and ensure proper control of the chisel.
Secure the Workpiece:
- Ensure that the material you are working on is securely clamped or held in place. This prevents unexpected movement and enhances precision.
Choose the Right Chisel for the Job:
- Select a chisel that is appropriate for the material and the specific task. Using the wrong tool may lead to accidents or damage to the tool.
Inspect the Chisel Before Use:
- Check the chisel for any damage, such as chips or cracks. A damaged chisel can be dangerous and may not perform effectively.
Use the Guard Properly:
- If the pointed cold chisel comes with a guard, ensure it is in place and properly adjusted. The guard is designed to protect your hand from accidental slips or strikes.
Maintain a Controlled Grip:
- Hold the chisel with a firm and controlled grip. Avoid overreaching or using excessive force, as this can lead to loss of control.
Use Adequate Lighting:
- Ensure proper lighting in the work area to clearly see the workpiece and the chisel, reducing the risk of errors.
Work Away from Your Body:
- Position the chisel so that your body is not directly in the path of the striking force. This minimizes the risk of injury if the chisel slips.
Take Breaks:
- Fatigue can lead to decreased concentration and increased risk of accidents. Take regular breaks to stay alert and focused.
Follow Correct Striking Techniques:
- Use a hammer or mallet of appropriate size for the chisel, and strike it squarely. Mis-hits can lead to tool damage and pose safety hazards.
Keep the Work Area Clean:
- Remove debris and clutter from the work area to prevent tripping hazards and maintain a safe working environment.
