Using the EstWing MRF22SM framing hammer is easy. Just grip it firmly by the handle's shock - reducing cushion. Line up the milled face with the nail or the area you want to strike, then swing smoothly for accurate and powerful blows. When using this hammer, always wear safety goggles. This will protect your eyes from any flying particles that might come off during the striking process. Also, make sure bystanders are wearing goggles too. To maintain your hammer, keep it clean. After use, wipe it down with a dry cloth to remove any dirt or debris. If it gets wet, dry it thoroughly to prevent rusting. Store it in a dry place to ensure its long - lasting performance.
