SAFETY MEASURES AND PRECAUTIONS

Protective Gear:
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses or goggles to protect your eyes from debris or splinters.
Gloves:
- Wear work gloves to protect your hands from cuts, abrasions, or irritation, especially when handling materials or working for extended periods.
Correct Tool for the Job:

Handle Inspection:
- Regularly inspect the bi-material handle for any signs of damage, such as cracks or sharp edges. A damaged handle can compromise your grip and lead to accidents.
