Hand Tools
Wood Shop
We have a huge collection of hand tools at Breva Creative. Each of them have very specific operating instructions. This is a brief safety overview of all hand tools, not each individual tool. If you have specific operation or safety questions regarding a specific tool, please ask a Breva Creative employee for assistance.
Use & Safety Checklist:
Always wear safety glasses when operating. Gloves if needed. Never use gloves with mechanically rotating tools.
Verify correct blade is installed based on the material you are cutting. Do not cut steel or other hard metals with most of these hand tools. Do not use without blade guards or other safety gear installed. Ask for assistance for changing blades.
When ready, grab handle firmly, pull trigger, and allow motor to reach full speed before cutting.
Cut slowly and smoothly, keeping your hands away from blades at all times. Do not overreach when cutting. Maintain proper balance.
Put tools away where you found them, and clean up dust and scraps when you are finished.
