Wear goggles, ear defenders, overalls and gloves-the enamel splinters
go everywhere and are VERY sharp.

Did this last year - you do have to hit the thing bl**dy hard!

Worth covering it in old curtains/sheets.
They get ruined, but stop razor sharp enamel going everywhere.

I also put some board over the window just in case of flying cast iron
fragments.

Only mistake I made was standing a bit too close when the body finally
broke.
The end nearest me listed over and grazed my shin - a small price to pay for
ridding the house of the 1970s relic.
