    If using in a press, ensure your work and spacers are properly centred to the press ram at all times.

    Do not use spacers to bridge gaps in your press.

    Do not use excessive force when pressing mild steel shot plates or dies. The die may be dented (particularly with small designs). Press slowly, anneal regularly and check progress. 

    If hammering, always use a punch and do not hammer directly onto the plate. To gain a good impression use a 2-4lb lump hammer and punch. Work on a solid and rigid surface such as a stump, an anvil or concrete floor.

    Always ensure the die is on a flat, smooth surface when pressing.

    Keep steel tools well oiled to prevent corrosion. 

    Wear appropriate PPE, such as eye protection, long sleeves and leather apron.

    Regularly inspect steel tools for wear and sharp edges.

    Steel can become brittle and may fracture under extreme stress.
