To do a job, we must choose the right tools for the job and use them correctly at the same time. We often see that some people use wrenches as hammers, screwdrivers as prying bars, and others use a long "afterburner" on the handle of a small wrench. The reason for these mistakes may be carelessness or an indifferent attitude. Maybe there won't be any accidents for a while, but who knows exactly when they will cause harm? Any kind of tools need to be cared for, always keep them in good condition, tools can be handled with good maintenance and careful management based on peacetime. Before using tools, you should wipe both hands and tools clean. Tools should also be wiped clean before they are stored, and the method of storing tools should be so that they will not be damaged.
To ensure the safety and reliability of tools is a prerequisite to ensure the safety and smooth operation. Check out the tools you are responsible for managing or using. In order to protect yourself and your companions from danger. Ribbed seedlings or hammer heads, cracked hammer handles, loose hammer heads, etc. often become the root cause of personal injury accidents. To choose the right tool for a particular job, this principle must always be adhered to. If you find that you have the wrong tool, take some time to bring the right tool, even if it does not hinder safety or you think it will definitely not happen. No job is so urgent or important that it doesn't take time to do it safely. In fact, it takes more time to go out and do something unsafe and not follow the right steps.
Safe Use of Hammers
The criteria for hammers to be used are: the hammer is intact everywhere, the hammer head is uncoiled and firmly attached to the handle, and the hammer everywhere and the user's hands must be clean. Hammers with damaged hammers or loose or broken handle should be repaired and replaced in time. When repairing, pay attention to applying some adhesive to the handle before wedging. Never use nails instead of wedges.
The hand should be held at the end of the handle of the hammer, so that it will be powerful to knock. If the hand holding the hammer is close to the hammer head, it is not only inconvenient to use, but also easy to touch the finger.
When using a hammer, stick as many goggles as possible. Especially nails, flying nails or other things, touching the eyes, may make it blind, touching other parts of the body, but also vulnerable to injury. When nailing a nail, concentrate on it. Otherwise, it will hurt your finger. When the nail is first nailed in, you should hold the nail close to the nail cap and tap the nail cap gently with the hammer. When some nails have been put in, the hand holding the nail is loosened and then the nail is forced. In this way, nails will not fly out and hurt people, nor will they hit fingers. It is too simple to use a hammer with a flat hammer face for nails, but some people often make mistakes.
The handle of the hammer can only be used to hold the hammer, and it can not be used to knock things or as a poplar lever.
No ordinary hammer shall be used for striking hard metals, but a leather head hammer or a soft metal hammer shall be used for striking hard metals. Never hit a wrench or another hammer with a hammer.
When using a hammer, hold your hand tightly and wield freely. Be especially careful of the obstacles overhead. When swinging, be careful not to hurt people or hit other equipment.
Do not use wrenches, round steel, bolts or other equipment parts as hammers. When hammer is used to strike the workpiece to be clamped, someone should use clamp or other suitable clamping device to clamp the workpiece, and note that no one should stand within the swing range. The workpiece holder is at right angle to the wielding plane of the hammer, and both of them should wear goggles. When swinging a hammer, the key is to have an accurate drop point, and pay attention not to touch anything on the handle of the hammer.
Hammers are suitable for all kinds of hammer work, so we must choose the right hammer.
Safe use of hand pliers
There are many types of hand pliers. The most commonly used is the 152mm combined fishmouth pliers. The sliding winch of fishmouth pliers can change the size of the pliers and facilitate the clamping of large-diameter objects. In order to cut the wire, some fishmouth pliers have edge edges.
Hand pliers are often misused as other tools. The use of hand pliers should be limited to the scope of their designed use. Clamp or cut off, never tighten nuts with hand pliers. There are two reasons for this: first, the pliers are flexible and can not fixedly clamp the nuts; second, the pliers clamp nuts will leave dental marks on the nuts, and even make the edges and corners bald, which will make it difficult to repair and disassemble in the future.
Users and bystanders should pay attention to avoid the inside of the cutting edge when using the hand pliers to cut the wire and other objects. If you want to clamp the workpiece and try to exert as little force as possible, you must make the pliers as parallel as possible. In addition, attention should be paid to the selection of the correct size of the pliers. The correct size and position of the hand pliers are the basic guarantee for clamping the workpiece. When cutting wire with hand pliers, attention should be paid to prevent overload, overload will break the edge, fragments may fly out and injure people. This requires the user to correctly select the pliers. The selected pliers should be that the wire to be cut can be cut off by gripping the pliers with one hand. Never use the edge of the pliers to hold the wire while cutting the wire continuously, and then smash the pliers with a hammer.
Hand pliers, like other tools, should be kept clean, usually pay attention to the connection pin drip oil, so as to reduce wear and tear and prevent rust, remember, rust is the vicious enemy of all tools.
