Select and inspect hand tools

Choose the tool intended for the fastener or material. A driver must fit the screw head properly; a slipping or rounded tool can damage parts and cause injury. Inspect handles, tips and cutting edges before use.

Secure the workpiece and protect eyes when the task can eject material. Do not improvise around damaged tools or bypass guards. Power-tool training requires the specific manual and suitable supervision.
