Protect your eyes; always wear safety goggles.
Maintain all tools in proper working order. Never modify a tool from its original design to accomplish a task for which it was not designed.
Always select a tool in the correct size and type for your task.
Inspect all tools before use. Discard those that are damaged or worn.
Never use hand sockets or attachments on impact wrenches or other power tools. They are designed only for use on manually operated drive tools.
Do not attempt to increase the leverage of any drive tool with a pipe extension or other cheater device.
When possible, always pull on a wrench handle rather than push and adjust your stance to prevent a fall.
Never hammer on a wrench handle or use a wrench as a striking tool.
Vinyl plastic handle grips do not provide protection against electric shock. Do not use on or near live wires.
Discard all nut drivers with split or broken handles. They can not be used efficiently and may cause hand injury.
Adjustable wrenches should be tightly adjusted to the nut and pulled so that the force is on the side of the fixed jaw.
