Putty Knife – Bi Material Handle

Safety Precautions

1. Protective Gear:

   • Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses or goggles to protect your eyes from debris or splinters.

2. Gloves:

   • Wear work gloves to protect your hands from cuts, abrasions, or irritation, especially when handling materials or working for extended periods.

3. Correct Tool for the Job:

   • Use the putty knife for its intended purpose. Avoid using excessive force or using the tool in ways not recommended by the manufacturer.

4. 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.

5. Sharp Blades:

   • Ensure that the blade is sharp and in good condition. A dull blade may require more force, increasing the risk of slipping and accidents. Replace or sharpen blades as needed.

6. Proper Technique:

   • Use proper techniques when scraping, spreading, or cutting. Keep your fingers away from the blade's edge and work in a controlled manner.

7. Stable Working Surface:

   • Work on a stable and well-supported surface to prevent slips or falls. Avoid working on uneven or slippery surfaces.

8. Caution with Sharp Edges:

   • Be cautious when handling the tool, especially around its edges. Accidental contact with sharp edges can result in cuts or injuries.

9. Work in Well-Ventilated Areas:

   • When working with materials like adhesives, paints, or sealants, ensure proper ventilation to avoid inhaling harmful fumes.

10. Store Safely:

    • Store the putty knife in a safe and designated area when not in use. Keep it away from the reach of children and other unauthorized individuals.

11. Use Two Hands:

    • When applying pressure or force, use two hands on the tool for better control and stability.

12. Follow Manufacturer's Instructions:

    • Adhere to the manufacturer's guidelines and recommendations for the proper use and maintenance of the putty knife.
