| Screwdriver Safety Tips |
|
|
 |
Never use a screwdriver as a cold
chisel, or for prying, punching, chiseling, scoring or scraping.
|
 |
|
Make sure the tip fits the slot of
the screw; not too loose or tight.
|
|
Never expose a screwdriver to excessive
heat or cold.
|
|
Always discard a screwdriver with
a worn or broken handle.
|
|
Never use a screwdriver on a workpiece
held in your hand. A slip could cause serious injury.
|
|
Never depend on a screwdrivers' handle
or covered blade to insulate you from electricity.
|
|
Vinyl covered blades are intended only as a
protective measure against shorting out components. |
