Before you use it
Ampco notes that non-sparking tools are softer than steel, so use each one only for the job it is made for. It also says to keep copper-based tools out of direct contact with acetylene, ethylene oxide and some explosives, such as amatol, DBX and lead azide. Ampco's alloys conduct electricity, so ground the tool where static charge is a concern.
As our guide on the limits of non-sparking tools explains, a non-sparking tool makes an igniting spark less likely. It does not replace ventilation, atmosphere monitoring or grounding.
