General Shop Safety Rules
• Safety in the Shop begins with the proper frame of mind. The expression: “Safety is no Accident,” is a good starting point.
2323
Attitude• When you enter the
shop, you always need to make sure that you mentally and physically adjust to the increased hazards around you.
• The things that you might do in a gym don’t belong in a classroom, and things that you might do in a classroom don’t belong in a SHOP!

2424
Attitude
• Tools greatly reduce the time needed to perform an operation and usually improve your ability to do a job.
• Learn how to use tools properly and take pride in your ability to use a tool safely and effectively.
• Be careful to think through each operation before you do it. Use your common sense. Do not do things that seem unsafe.
HEAD

SPINDLE CHUCK
2525
Attitude
• People using the shop must take responsibility for the safe use of the facility. If you are unsure of the proper method to do something, ask for help.
• Never perform an operation that you are uneasy about. Ask for help!

2626
Attitude
• If you notice an unsafe condition in the shop, fix it or bring it to the attention of the instructor.
• If you think someone is using the equipment unsafely, suggest a safer alternative or bring their activities to the attention of the instructor.

2727
Activities
• Frequently, when a person is injured, we hear the words: “I didn’t mean to, or I was just fooling around.”
• For that reason horseplay can not be permitted! Yelling, screaming, pushing, jumping, running, throwing objects, using a tool improperly or as a pretend weapon can not happen!
2828
Protect the Most Important Tools You Have
• Your Eyes are not tools, but they are our most important sense, and it is very difficult to get by without them.
• Always use approved eye protection whenever cutting, hammering, using a power tool, in the vicinity or watching someone else doing these things!
• Make it a Lifelong Habit to recognize hazards to your eyes and take precautions to protect your eyes, not just when someone is standing over you and making you do it.
2929
Getting Ready to Work
• Before presenting yourself and your project to the instructor for permission to use a power tool, make sure you are READY!
• Have your safety glasses in place, hair, clothing and jewelry secured.
• Make sure your project is ready also. Have you made all the necessary layout marks in preparation for cutting? The instructor will not assume you know
what you are doing – you must PROVE
it by your presentation.
3030
Get Permission Before Use
• Always obtain permission from the instructor before using a power tool.
• This alerts the instructor to a machine in use and who is using it.
• This helps ensure the operation will be performed correctly.
• This provides an opportunity for the instructor to monitor your work to prevent errors (scrapping out a project).
3131
Safety Equipment• Make sure that all
guards are in place and that they work properly.
• Keep hands at least four inches away from cutting surfaces.
Bandsaw Guard
3232
Safety Equipment• Do not distract machine
operators.• Stay out of yellow taped
machine clearance areas when in machine is in use.
3333
Cleanup• Report all injuries to
the instructor immediately.
• Report missing, broken or damaged tools to the instructor.
• Keep the shop clean and well organized.
3434
Use of Shop Air• Pressurized air can be
very dangerous.• When shop air is used
for cleaning purposes it must be fitted with a restrictor to allow only 30psi.
3535
Use of Shop Air
• Use only with permission and only after your cleanup job is done.
• Typical use is for running air tools, blowing dust off projects.
• Never direct air near face, exposed skin, or at other people.

Basic Carpentry Hand Tools: Hammers
By Ryan Saucier
5757
Hammers
• Various types
• Used to drive nails, pull nails and adjust boards or move objects.
• Never strike one hammer head against another. The force could break both hammers and cause an eye injury.
5858
5959
Claw Hammer
• This classic hammer, with the claw shaped to maximize leverage, is ideal for removing nails. It is the standard all-purpose hammer and an indispensable object in any tool box.
6060
Straight Claw Hammer• When nails are too close to
a wall or ceiling, the claw hammer handle may hinder your nail pulling efforts. The straight claw hammer would be more effective in these situations, while having other practical uses as well (Ex: as a chisel).
6161
Drywall Hammer• With its rounded and
slightly grooved hammering surface, the drywall hammer allows you to sink gypsum nails without damaging or denting the board and helps improve the hold of the joint compound. Its distinctive flat claw also allows you to remove nails easily without damaging the board.
6262
Bricklayer’s Hammer
• Specialized tool with a flat edge for carving bricks and a hammering surface for placing them, the bricklayer’s hammer is made of a specially designed metal for maximum performance with masonry materials.
6363
Welder’s Hammer
• Multi-purpose hammer designed for various welding applications (such as the removal of unwanted fragments using either the hammering surface or the pointed claw), the welder’s hammer is made with softer metal than standard hammers and, as such, is more resistant to repeated impacts on metal.
6464
Shingler’s Hammer
• Specifically designed for the installation of roofing shingles, the shingler’s hammer comes equipped with a blade used to trim asphalt and cedar shingles.
6565
Ball-Peen Hammer
• Much like the welder’s hammer, this tool is designed to work on metals, but unlike the welder’s hammer, its rounded head is used primarily to shape metal surfaces. It is also a more compact tool than its soft-headed cousin, making it easier to work with in small areas or hard-to-reach places.
6666
Mallet
• Rubber headed hammer used in applications where you need to strike a surface without causing damage; when installing floor boards or hubcaps for instance. Typically made of black rubber, mallet heads are also available in white rubber, which helps prevent surface marks.
6767
Sledgehammer
• Available with a long handle for hammering in pilings or a short one for striking a cold chisel, sledgehammers can be used to hammer concrete, wood or metal objects without fear of damaging the tool.
6868
Types of Hammer Handles • Hammers are typically built with metal, wood or fiberglass
handles. • There is no one type of handle that is better than the rest; it’s
all about how the handle feels in your hand, thus the importance of trying the tool out.
• This being said, a wood handle is ideal for working in areas in close proximity with sources of extreme heat (Ex: in some factories) as the wood will not conduct heat.
• Note that wood handled hammers are usually less expensive and provide another interesting advantage - the handle can be replaced.
• However, some users find that hammers made with metal and fiberglass handles offer better control when hammering.
6969
Types of Hammer Handles
• Metal handles come in two types: flat and tubular. Here too, it is mostly a question of preference.
• Some users prefer the flat handle for its versatility (it can be used to straighten bent nails for example), whereas tubular handles are less likely to mark or damage surfaces if the user “misses the mark”.
• Keep in mind that tubular handles are less durable when it comes to pulling difficult nails…The truth is, when a hammer handle breaks, regardless of type or material, it is usually because the tool was “forced” while being applied as a nail puller or pry bar, which it isn’t.
7070
Types of Hammer Handles
• Over the last few years, manufacturers began offering hammers with anti-vibration handles. These tools can, depending on the model, reduce the amount of vibration felt by the user from three to eight times when compared to a regular hammer. A significant advantage for everyday users!
7171
Types of Hammer Heads
• The hammer head is comprised of a hammering surface and a claw. The claw may be straight or curved and can be used to straighten or pull nails.
• In general terms, forged steel heads provide better quality than molded heads, which have a tendency to become damaged with use.
7272
Types of Hammer Heads
• Some hammers have a “textured” striking surface to avoid slippage but keep in mind that these models tend to damage the hammering surface and cause more serious injuries when fingers get hit.
• This type of head is not to be confused with the drywall hammer, which is slightly rounded and finely textured to minimize the risk of damage to the drywall board and to create small relief on the board in order to improve the hold of the joint compound.
7373
Types of Hammer Heads
• Finally, there are a few standard hammers that come equipped with a notch where nails may be inserted, thus allowing users to “start” the nail with a hammer strike.
7474
Various Hammer Weights• Regardless of handle material, standard hammers are offered
in 8, 13, 16, 20 and 22-ounce models: a 16-oz. hammer with wood handle will weigh the same as a 16-oz. hammer with a fibreglass handle.
• Though 8-oz. hammers can be useful for small jobs, 16-oz. versions, with their optimal weight to handling ratio, are the ultimate all-purpose models.
• 20 and 22-oz. hammers are usually intended for use by profesionnals, in carpentry or demolition applications for example.
• The 13-oz. hammer, designed for finishing applications such as the installation of baseboards and mouldings, is gradually disappearing and is being replaced by compressed air hammers.
7575
Hammer Maintenance
• It is recommended that hammers be stored in a dry location and that they be wiped down if wet.
• To avoid injury, never leave any tool within reach of a child.• Use added caution when using a tool in proximity to electrical
installations. • Always wear safety glasses. • Grip the hammer firmly and strike using the entire arm and not only
the wrist. • Never use a hammer with a damaged handle or head. • Always look behind you before starting the required swing to make
your strike.
7676
In Closing…
• Use a 16-oz. hammer for your various carpentry and household jobs as it provides the best weight-handling ratio.
• Try different handles before purchasing your hammer; evaluate tool balance, grip comfort, and then choose the model that feels best in your hand.
• If you keep in mind that your household hammer is not a nail puller and is not designed for working metal, it will no doubt provide you with many years of carefree service.
