| Hammer Safety Tips |
|
|
 |
Strike squarely with the hammer striking face parallel with
the surface being struck. Always avoid glancing blows and over
and under strikes. |
|
When striking another tool (chisel, punch, wedge, etc.), the
striking face of the proper hammer should have a diameter approximately
3/8" larger than the struck face of the tool. |
|
Always use a hammer of suitable size and weight for the job.
Don't use a tack hammer to drive a spike, nor a sledge to drive
a tack. |
|
Never use on hammer to strike another hammer or a hatchet. |
|
Never use a striking or struck tool with loose or damaged
handle. |
|
Discard any striking or struck tool if tool shows dents, cracks,
chips, mushrooming, or excessive wear. |
|
Never regrind, weld or reheat-treat a hammer. |
