TIPS ON USE
TIPS ON USE
- Always use a handle when using a rasp or file. Gently force the handle over the tang as far as it goes. Then tap it with a mallet until it is securely fastened.
- Apply pressure on the file only on the forward stroke, raise it on the return stroke. Failure to raise the file on return stroke will result in broken teeth.
- When starting with a brand new file, use only light pressure to “break the file in”. If possible, use the file on softer materials at first. Both of these tricks will give your file a longer life.
- Do not file too fast, you might affect the hardness of the files.
- A file tooth is a razor sharp cutting edge, therefore a file should never touch another file. Do not stack files without protective wrapper.
