Hold the handle near the end for better leverage and aim. Use straight, controlled blows and avoid striking hardened surfaces like steel anchors or concrete. After use, wipe the handle to remove oil or dirt and store in a dry place to protect the head and grip. Regularly inspect the head for cracks and the grip for wear.

Always wear eye protection and keep hands clear of the striking area. Ensure the work surface is stable and nails are properly aligned before driving. Do not use the hammer as a chisel or pry bar, and avoid striking with the flat side or on deformed nails. The tool is ANSI standard compliant, but proper PPE and safe handling are essential.
