DO’S AND
DONT’S
OF TOOL STORAGE
Keep it covered
o
Use the Teng Tools tool box covers or another suitable
cover to protect the tool boxes when they are not being
used.
Make it secure
o
If you are building a stack system use the Teng Tools
TCF01 and TCF02 fixing brackets and fixings provided to
secure each component to the stack
Water and chemical damage
o
If any liquid spills on to the paint surface inside or outside
the tool box clean it off immediately to protect the paint
surface
Watch your weight
o
Spread the weight of tools between the drawers and put
the heavier tools in the lower drawers
Don’t overload your tool box
o
Never overfill drawers or put too much weight in one
drawer
Do not lift more than you should
o
Follow established rules and guidelines – if it is more than
25 kilos you should not lift it on your own
Don’t climb on the tool boxes
o
Tool boxes are for storing tools do not use them as a
ladder
One drawer at a time
o
Be aware of the balance of your tool box, opening more
than one drawer at a time can cause it to tip over
Do not shake the tool boxes about
o
If the tool box has to be transported in a vehicle it should
be fixed down firmly as the drawers, wheels and welding
points can all be damaged by being bounced round
o
When wheeling over an uneven surface be careful as this
can also lead to damage particularly if the tool box is
heavily loaded.
