Topic 2

Maintain Hand Tools and Equipment’s

The use of safety hand tools should be a key component of most school safety
programs.

To greatly reduce the risk of harmful accidents, better understanding the hand
tool’s intended for each use and environment, combined with proper tool selection,
maintenance and storage is important in carrying out the given job or task.

Maintaining Hand tools

1. Screwdrivers
A. Select screwdriver that’s fit the screw head slot perfectly.
B. Keep the screwdriver’s handle dry, and clean to prevent slippages.
C. Never use a screwdriver as chisel.
D. Never hammer a screwdriver’s handle.

2. Pliers
A. Always keep pliers in good condition by cleaning and regular application of oil.
B. Never use pliers as substitute for a wrench or hammer.
C. Never hammer the pliers when cutting wires.

3. Files
A. When using a file, keep a firm grip on its handle at all times.
B. Do not blow filings as they may get into your eyes.
C. Always use a file card in cleaning a file.

4. Mini drill
A. Hold the mini drill firmly at 90 degrees with the material to be bored and make sure
to tighten the chuck jaw of the mini drill securely before using it.
B. Hold the metal, wood, or plastic firmly on the vise when drilling holes. Do not hold it
with your hands.
C. Clean chips with a brush, not with your hands.
D. Keep the work area always clean by using paint brush.

5. Pencil type soldering Iron.

A. Clean and tin the tip of the soldering iron before use.
B. A 30-watt soldering iron is recommended for soldering electronic components in
printed circuit board.
C. Clean the soldering tip with dry cloth, cotton, or tissue paper after using.
D. Do not wash the tip of the soldering iron with water to speed up its cooling process
after use. It might corrode the soldering tip.

6. Soldering Gun
 A. Do not use this type of the soldering instrument with light soldering work. It might
damage the Electronic components and PCB because of its very high
temperature.
B. If the soldering tip fails to achieve its maximum temperature, tighten the two nuts
holding the tip of the soldering gun.
C. Do not use in mass production assembly. It might be overheated.
D. This type of soldering equipment is more convenient where only few connections
are to be made requiring much higher temperature like direct chassis
soldering.

7. Desoldering tool
A. Heat the terminals to be re-soldered before sucking the melted soldering lead with
the desoldering tool to avoid direct contact of the desoldering tool’s tip
with the tip of the soldering iron.
B. Clean and oil the inside sucking spring and the tip of the desoldering tool regularly
so that the melted soldering lead will not stick permanently inside the
desoldering tool.

8. Volt -Ohm- miliammeter ( VOM)

A. Do not play with this instrument by holding both test leads or connecting them in
any part of your body trying to measure your resistance.
B. Rest the function switch at 250 VAC when not in use.
C. Place this instrument in a dry cool place, In free from any vibrations
D. When making current and voltage measurements, be sure you are in the correct
settings of function switch .If the current or voltage being measured is
much greater than the value indicated in the function switch, the VOM
will be damaged.
E. Avoid touching any metallic part of the test lead when measuring current or voltage

9. Electronic instruments like oscilloscopes, signal generators, digital multi-meters and

like should be connected to the power line at least once a week to warm
up the circuit. This will serve as regular check-up and it will prevent the
electronic components from corrosion due to moist specially during
rainy season when the air is wet.
