It’s essential to use eye bolts properly to avoid mishaps and extend the life of your tools. The following safety advice is provided:
- Align the eye bolt with the sling to avoid bending.
- Use washers for a tight fit.
- Ensure most of the threads are engaged when using washers.
- Attach one sling leg per eye bolt.
- Clean the hole and threads before use.
- Tighten the eye bolt properly and ensure enough depth for screw types.
- For lifting at a 90° angle, use regular eye bolts; avoid exceeding 45° for horizontal lifts.
