Safety Gear

Safety first : Health matters most. Protect yours by using best quality tools designed for your specific application.

Personal Safety

Wear eye protection, for any job involving chips, splinters, sparks, dust, flashes or UV rays.

Wear gloves against cuts, knocks and burns.

1000V INSULATED TOOLS FOR ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Never work on or near live components without 1000V tools.
Only these can provide the insulation required for adequate protection.

SENSIBLE PRECAUTIONS

Secure balance, especially when pushing and pulling e.g. tight fasteners.
Straight back and bent knees when lifting.

CORRECT TOOL SELECTION

Each tool is designed for a specific application and should not be used for other jobs. Be sure of safety, comfort and productivity by using the right tool.
Never attempt DIY modifications to a tool whether by grinding, welding or heating. Altered specifications could make it unsafe.
Do not exceed tool capacities with inappropriate extensions or impact accessories.

TOOL CARE

Keep tools clean to prevent risk of slipping and give a more secure grip. Check tools before use for any defects such as excessive wear or breakage. Some mechanisms need regular cleaning and lubrication.
Keep and follow manufacturers' operating instructions. Use the complete contents of any service kits.
