    Match each type of screw with the proper screwdriver and turn it clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen. Take care to not overtighten screws which can strip them. Use a flat head screwdriver for slotted screws but not Philips head, and don't use any screwdriver as a pry bar. Apply the proper screwdriver for the screw head, such as a Philips head for crosshead screws. Hex drivers should be sized correctly and not overtighten hex bolts. Be cautious of magnetized tools around electronics and don't use conductive materials like pencils inside computers. Retrieval tools should carefully place and remove parts without damage.

    PROPER USE OF HAND TOOLS

    Screws –
    Match each screw with the proper screwdriver. Place the tip of the screwdriver on the
    head of the screw. Turn the screwdriver clockwise to tighten the screw and counterclockwise to
    loosen the screw.
    Screws can become stripped if you over-tighten them with a screwdriver. A stripped
    screw, may get stuck in the screw hole, or it may not tighten firmly. Discard stripped screws.

    Flat head screwdriver


    Use a flat head screwdriver when you are working with a slotted screw. Do not use a flat head
    screw driver to remove a Phillips head screw. Never use a screwdriver as a pry bar. If you cannot
    remove a component, check to see if there is a clip or latch that is securing the component in
    place.

    CAUTION: If excessive force is needed to remove or add a component, something is probably


    wrong. Take a second look to make sure that you have not missed a screw or a locking clip that
    is holding the component in place.

    Philips head screwdriver


    Use a Philips head screwdriver with crosshead screws. Do not use this type of screwdriver to
    puncture anything. This will damage the head of the screwdriver.

    Hex driver
    Use a hex driver to loosen and tighten bolts that have a hexagonal (six-sided) head. Hex bolts
    should not be over-tightened because the threads of the bolts can be stripped. Do not use a hex
    driver that is too large for the bolt that you are using.

    CAUTION: Some tools are magnetized. When working around electronic devices, be sure that
    the tools you are using have not been magnetized. Magnetic fields can be harmful to data stored
    on magnetic media. Test your tool by touching the tool with a screw. If the screw is attracted to
    the tool, do not use the tool.

    Part retriever, Needle-nose pliers, or tweezers


    The part retriever, needle-nose pliers, and tweezers can be used to place and retrieve parts that
    may be hard to reach with your fingers. Do not scratch or hit any components when using these
    tools.

    CAUTION: Pencils should not be used inside the computer to change the setting of switches or
    to pry off jumpers. The pencil lead can act as a conductor and may damage the computer
    components.
