What should be paid attention to when using a hammer

Hammer manufacturers remind us that when using hammers, we must pay more attention to safety issues, mainly including what aspects? Let's see.

When using the sledge hammer, we must pay attention to the surrounding areas. No one should stand within the moving range of the sledgehammer, and the sledgehammer and the small hammer should not be used to strike each other. The hammerhead does not need quenching treatment, and there must be no cracks and burrs. Once the burr is found, it must be immediately trimmed. In order to make the hammer elastic when hitting, the middle of the handle should be narrower than the end near the top. The connection between the hammer head and the handle should be firm. Once the hammer head and handle are loose, or the hammer handle has splitting marks and cracks, it can not be used again. The metal wedge is better for the installation hole of hammer head and handle. The nail length shall not be greater than two thirds of the hole depth.

For the sheep horn hammer, it can not be used in the hammering process of large workpieces. When driving nails, the hammer head should hit the nail cap to make the nail vertically enter into the wood. When pulling out the nail, wood block should be placed at the corner to enhance the pulling force. The hammer should not be used as a prying tool. Pay attention to the integrity of the hammering surface to prevent the nail flying out or the hammer slipping off and hurting people.
