Using the MasterLock S1017 Personal Lockout Toolbox is easy. First, open the lockable toolbox and place your important lockout devices and padlocks inside. Once you've organized your items, lock the toolbox to keep everything secure. When taking it to the workplace, carry it by the handle. As for maintenance, keep it clean by wiping it with a dry cloth regularly. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and harsh chemicals. If the lock starts to act up, you can use a little bit of graphite powder to lubricate it. Always make sure to check the lock's functionality before each use to ensure your items stay safe.
