Tungsten carbide cutting tools may generate relatively high cutting temperature and much dust and aerosol when being used in machining. There will be much harm to health if our eyes or skins have direct contact with them, let alone inhaling them. Therefore, when using tungsten carbide cutting tools, operators should pay attention to the following matters:

I. Using local dust exhaust apparatuses, such as masks, gloves and so on.

II. Hands should be cleaned immediately once exposed to dust.

III. Do not have meals in the workplace.

IV. Using dust collectors or other washing methods to remove the dust on clothes instead of dusting oneself off by hand.
