Safety Tips for Using a Mattock

Safety is paramount when using a mattock.

Before beginning any task, inspect the tool for wear and damage and replace or sharpen it if necessary.

Inspect the work area for any large rocks, roots, or other debris that may present a hazard or interfere with the task at hand.

Wear appropriate clothing such as gloves and eye protection to protect yourself from injury.

Be aware of your surroundings; never swing the mattock near another person and keep pets and children away from where you are working.

To use the mattoch, stand with feet shoulder-width apart for balance and hold the handle firmly with both hands. Swing in an arc from the hip rather than from above your shoulders for maximum force.

Let the weight of the mattock be the main force that brings it to the ground. The key is to protect your lower back so you do not strain the muscles.
