SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Wear Eye Protection
o Protects eyes from metal filings and debris while filing.
Use with Proper Grip
o Always use a handle on the file’s tang to prevent hand injuries.
o Maintain a firm, controlled grip during use.
Secure Workpiece
o Clamp the object being filed to prevent slipping and injury.
Use Correct Filing Technique
o Apply pressure on the forward stroke only; avoid backstroke pressure to prevent tool damage.
o Keep consistent strokes for even results.
Keep File Clean
o Regularly clean file teeth using a file card or brush to maintain performance.
Do Not Use on Hardened Steel
o Avoid filing very hard surfaces that can dull the file quickly.
o Use appropriate tools for hardened materials.
Check for Damage
o Inspect for cracks, dullness, or broken tangs before use.
o Replace if worn or damaged.
Store Properly
o Keep files in dry, organized toolboxes or racks to prevent rust and chipping.
