Installation Notes

Always fit a properly sized handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injuries from the exposed tang point. Secure the workpiece in a vise before filing to maintain control and ensure accurate strokes. Apply forward-stroke pressure only and lift the file on the return stroke to preserve tooth life. Inspect the file periodically for clogging and use a file card to clear debris from the teeth.
