Los
accidentes que ocurren con las herramientas pueden ser prevenidos si seguimos
tres reglas primera
(escoge la herramienta adecuada para la tarea) segunda (asegurate que
esté en buenas condiciones) tercera ( usalo de manera correcta.)
Despues de escoger la herramienta para el trabajo revisalo.
¿ Esta en buenas condiciones?
¿ El mango del talache, maso o martillo estillados?
¿ El cincel que vas a usar tiene la cabeza de hongo estillada?
¿ El serrucho esta filoso?
usa la herramienta para lo que fueron hechas. Si uno de los aparatos esta
defectuoso regresalo y pide otro. Regresa la herramienta cuando termines
y marcalo si nesecita reparación con una etiqueta.
Si la herramienta esta en buenas condicciones, debes usarla de una manera
apropiada. Estas son unas precauciones que debes tomar. Cuando uses un
serrucho fijate que la hoja esté limpia que no le falten dientes
y tenga filo. Cuida tus dedos al empezar a cortar.
Al usar un cincel si la cabeza esta en forma de un hongo compon lo antes
de usarlo y nunca le detengas el cincel con las manos a otra persona usa
otros medio para sostener el cincel. Des continua el uso de llaves que
esten barridas o que no tengan ajuste. No uses una lima de fierro como
barra o la uses sin el mango mantenga la limpia para que no se te resbale.
No uses un desarmador como cincel o como barra. Usa el desarmador de acuerdo
al tornillo cuando trabajes con alambres de eletricidad o cosas electricas
usa un desarmador insulado.
Cuando uses un martillo fijate que el mango esté fijo y que no
este estillado si es de madera o fibra. Recuerda el martillo de carpintero
es para clavar y desclavar clavos y no para usarlo con cinceles o fierros.
