Use Appropriate Hand tools and Test Equipment

USING TOOLS BASED ON THEIR FUNCTIONS AND OPERATION

Whenever you perform a task in the workshop you must use personal
protective clothing and equipment (PPE) that are appropriate for the task and which
conforms with your local safety regulations and policies.

Your skill in using tools and equipment will make your work less difficult and
ensure that tasks are performed properly and safely.

 Hand Tools
 o screwdrivers, needle-nose pliers

 Diagnostic Tools o Analog or digital Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter, power supply

Safety check

 Do not use flammable cleaners or water on electrical equipment.

 Make sure designated walkways are kept clear of any obstructions.
 Always wear protective clothing and use the appropriate safety equipment.
 Make sure that you understand and observe all legislative and personal
safety procedures when carrying out the following tasks.

Proper Use of Hand Tools

 Use the proper type and size of screwdriver by matching it to the screw.
 Phillips and Flat Head are the most common types.
 Do not over tighten screws because the threads may become stripped.

In many types of work, hand tools are used every day. They make work
easier and allow people to be more efficient. However, majority of students often fail
to see the hazards these tools can introduce. In this module "Hand Tool Safety"
shows workers how accidents can be significantly reduced by reviewing the various
hazards that are associated with specific types of tools.

Common Faults in Using Hand Tools

Pliers:

 Do not increase the handle length of pliers to gain more leverage. Use a larger
pair of pliers or bolt cutters if necessary.
 Do not substitute pliers for a wrench when turning bolts and nuts. Pliers cannot
grip these items properly and might cause a slip and create an accident.
  Never use pliers as a hammer on the handle. Such abuse is likely to result in
cracks or breaks.
 Cut hardened wires only with pliers designed for that purpose.
 Always cut the wires in right angle. Never rock from side to side or bend wire
back and forth against the cutting edges.

Screwdrivers:

 Never use screwdrivers as a pry bar, chisel, and punch stirrer or scraper.
 Never use screwdrivers with broken or worn-out handles. Screwdrivers of these
kinds should have tags to indicate that it is defective.
 Never use pliers on a screwdriver for extra leverage. Only use wrench or
screwdrivers specifically designed for purpose.

Utility Knives/ Blades:

 Do not use dull blades because they require more force, thus are more likely to
slip. Replace the blade when it starts to “tear” instead of cut.
 Never leave a knife unattended with the blade exposed.
 Don’t bend or apply side loads to blades by using them to open cans or loosen
tight cover of containers. Blades are brittle and can snap easily.

I. TRUE OR FALSE: Write T if the statement is correct and F if it is false.

______1. Always cut the wires in right angle.
______2. Use pliers as a hammer.
______3. Use screwdriver as a chisel.
______4. Never leave a knife unattended with the blade exposed.
______5. Substitute pliers for wrench when turning bolts and nuts.

II. Write the name of the following Electronic Tools.

 LESSON 2

Perform Mensuration and Calculations

Electronics is a branch of technology that deals with many applications. Audio

electronics, video electronics, digital, medical up to weapons and banking are
covered by the influence of electronics. There are quite a number of components
used in the application of electronics. To name a few of these electronic
components are resistors, capacitors, inductors and semi-conductors.

TYPES OF RESISTORS

Wire-wound

Film Carbon-composition
resistors
 Precision

Metal-film

Resistors in band

Variable Resistor (Slide type) Variable Resistor (Rotary type)

The most commonly used electronic components in the field are known as resistors.
Resistor is a discrete component that offers opposition to the flow of current. Resistors have
different types in accordance with the material used like carbon-composition and the
wirewound resistor. According to construction, we have the fixed resistor and the variable
resistor.

Resistors are very common and are the cheapest electronic components in the
market for so many years. Their features are so interesting and are very colorful. That’s why
resistors are very popular among students studying electronics.

One distinct feature of this resistance - giving component is the way its value is
determined. It uses a set of colors which follows a code for its assumed resistance expressed
in OHMS.
