SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WITH HAND TOOLS-3

 Hammers

1. One should not operate the hammer unless its head is tightly fixed to the handle.
2. Place the hammer on the bench carefully. A falling hammer can cause serious foot injuries.
3. Never strike two hammers together. The faces are very hard and the blow might cause a chip to break off.
4. Never hold the hammer too far on the handle when striking a blow.
5. Unless the blow is struck squarely, the hammer may glance at the work.
