A finger guard is worn by slipping it onto your finger with the leather (or protective) side facing your palm. This protects your finger from cuts and abrasions when working.
Here's a breakdown:
- Orientation: The key is to ensure the protective material (often leather) is positioned to shield your palm-side finger. This is the area most likely to encounter the sharp edge or abrasive material.
- Application: Simply slide the finger guard onto the finger you wish to protect.
- Purpose: The guard prevents cuts and other injuries, especially when performing tasks involving sharp objects or rough materials. For example, when doing back cuts, a thumb guard protects the thumb from cuts.
