Using Hand Tools

Introduction

This module covers the knowledge and understanding on the identification,

selection and usage of different hand tools in Computer Systems Servicing. It contains
learning activities on Computer Systems Servicing for you to accomplish.

Misuse of tools and equipment at the workplace might lead to health and safety
issues, which can often be prevented by abiding simple safety practices. You should
know the use of each tools for which it is designed for. Not all tools come with detailed
instructions but there are these “Do’s and Don’ts” for your safety.

Do’s and Don’ts in Using Hand Tools

Pliers:

• Do not enlarge the handle length of pliers to gain more grip. Use a larger pair of pliers
or bolt cutters if needed.
• Do not use pliers as a substitute for a wrench when turning bolts and nuts. Pliers
cannot grip bolts and nuts properly and might slip.
• Do not use pliers as a hammer on the handle because it will result in cracks or
breaks.
• Use pliers to cut hardened wire.
• Never cut from side to side or bend wire back and forth against the cutting edges.
Always cut a right angle

Screwdrivers:

• Do not use screwdrivers as a pry bar, chisel, and punch stirrer or scraper.
• Always use screwdriver tip that fits the slot of the screw.
• Never use screwdrivers with broken handles.
• Use magnetic or screw-holding screwdrivers to fastened in tight areas.
• Never use pliers on a screwdriver for extra control. Only use wrench or screwdrivers
specifically designed to accept them.

6
Utility Knives/ Blades:

• Always use a sharp blade because dull blades need greater force and thus are more
likely to slip.
• If the tool has a retractable blade, retract it instantly after use, and retract it fully.
Likewise, close scissors or snips when not in use.
• Keep your hand away from the blade of knife because it might cut your skin.
• Do not use knife to open cans or pry off objects. Blades are brittle and can slip easily.
• Avoid horseplay with a tool in your hand.

Tips for Safely Handling Tools at Work or at Home

• Ensure that you do not carry tools up or down a ladder in a way that stops you from
holding onto the ladder properly. You should put your tools in a bag, in a bucket or in
a toolbox instead of carrying it yourself.
•Ensure that you are very careful when handing tools to others. You should do it with
care, and not to toss them. Ensure that the tools are always passed with their handles
towards the receiver.
• Ensure that pointed tools are in a toolbox, in a tool pouch or a tool belt (pointed
downwards) or in the hand, pointed away from the body.
• Ensure that tools are never left lying around and are placed in the storage when not
in use.

 MODULE 3

This module covers the knowledge and understanding on the identification,

selection and usage of different hand tools in Computer Systems Servicing. It contains
learning activities on Computer Systems Servicing for you to accomplish.

The module mainly focuses on one lesson:

LO 3. Use Appropriate hand tools and test equipment TLE_IACSS9-12UHT-IIIc-19

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. recognize proper use of tools;

2. use tools according to tasks undertaken; and

3. observe safety procedures in using tools.

Lesson Use Appropriate hand tools and

3 test equipment

PROPER USE OF TOOLS

Using tools properly helps to prevent accident and damage to the

equipment and people. Using the right tool for a specific task save your time
and effort in accomplishing it.

1. Proper Use of ESD Tools

ESD tools are used to prevent electrostatic discharge that may damage the
components. Anti-static mat is placed hardware on to prevent static
electricity from building up.

1. Lay the mat under the computer case.

2. Clip the mat to the case to provide a grounded surface on which you can
place parts as you remove them from the system unit.

9
 Anti-static wrist strap is used to equalize the electrical charge between you
and the equipment. Your body has static electricity that might damage the
components of the system unit. Anti-static wrist strap is a conductor that
connects your body to the equipment that you are working on.

1. Wrap the strap around your wrist and secure it using the snap or Velcro.
Always remember that the metal on the back of the wrist strap should
remain in contact with your skin.
2. Snap the connector at the end of the wire to the wrist strap and connect
the other end either to the equipment or to the same grounding point that
the anti-static mat is connected to. The metal case of the system unit is a
good place to connect the wire.

2. Proper Use of Hand Tools

The repairman or technician should know the appropriate use of each tool in the
toolkit.
a. 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 BRIEF INTRODUCTION 5 screw and counterclockwise to loosen the screw.
Avoid over tightening the screws because the threads may become stripped. A
stripped screw may get stuck in the screw hole.

b. Flat screwdriver - Use a flat screwdriver when you are working with a slotted
screw. Do not use a flat screwdriver to remove a crosshead 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.
c. Philips screwdriver - Use a Phillips screwdriver with crosshead screws. Do not
use this type of screwdriver to puncture anything. This will damage the head of
the screwdriver.
d. Hex driver - Use a hex driver to loosen and tighten bolts that have a hexagonal
(sixsided) head. Hex bolts should not be over-tightened as 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.
e. Part retriever, Needle-nose pliers, or tweezers - The part retriever, needle-nose
pliers, and tweezers are used to place and retrieve screws 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 because pencils’
lead can act as a conductor that may damage the computer components.

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

may be wrong.

10
3. Proper Use of Cleaning Materials
Keeping computers clean inside and out is an important part of a
maintenance program. Dirt and dust can cause problems with the physical
operation of fans, buttons, and other mechanical components. On electrical
components, an excessive buildup of dust will act like an insulator and trap the
heat. This insulation will weaken the ability of heat sinks and cooling fans to keep
components cool, causing chips and circuits to overheat and fail.
CAUTION: Before cleaning your computer, make sure to turn it off and unplug the
device from the power source to avoid electrocution.
CAUTION: When compressed air is used to clean inside the computer, the air
should be blown around the components with a minimum distance of four inches
from the nozzle. The power supply and the fan should be cleaned from the back
of the case.

a. Computer Cases and Monitors - Clean computer cases and the outside of
monitors with a mild cleaning solution on a damp, lint-free cloth. Mix one drop
of dishwashing liquid with four ounces of water to create the cleaning solution.
If any water drips inside the case, allow enough time for the liquid to dry before
powering on the computer.

b. LCD Screens - Do not use ammoniated glass cleaners or any other solution
on an LCD screen. The cleaner should be specifically designed for the purpose.
Harsh chemicals will damage the coating on the screen. There is no glass
protecting these screens, so be gentle when cleaning them and do not press
firmly on the screen.

c. Keyboard - Clean a desktop keyboard with compressed air to remove the

debris between the keys. Make sure that the straw is attached to control the
airflow.
CAUTION: Never use a standard vacuum cleaner inside a computer case
because the plastic parts of the vacuum cleaner can build up static electricity
and discharge to the components. Use only a vacuum approved for electronic
components.

d. Mouse – Use a lint-free cloth to clean the top and bottom part of the mouse.

e. Component Contacts - Clean the motherboard using compressed air to

remove the dirt and dust particles and use a soft bristled brush if necessary.
You may also clean component contacts like RAM with isopropyl alcohol and
lint-free swabs or cloth to clean. Make sure that the contacts do not collect
any lint from the cloth or cotton swab.

11
Personal Protective Equipment

Introduction

This module covers the knowledge and understanding on the identification of

materials, selection of tools & equipment, and follow OHS guidelines of electrical
wiring/electronics circuits in Computer Systems Servicing. It contains learning
activities on Computer Systems Servicing for you to accomplish.

Patch Panel
A patch panel is an array of ports on one panel. Each port connects to another port
located elsewhere in your home, thru a patch cable.

To connect incoming and outgoing lines, patch panels bundle multiple network
ports together, including those for local area networks, electronics, electrical systems and
communications. They can link computers to other computers and to outside lines when
patch panels are part of a LAN. In turn, these lines allow LANs to connect to networks in
a wide area or to the Internet. Users simply plug and unplug the appropriate patch cords
to arrange circuits using a patch panel. With patch panels, troubleshooting issues are
simplified because all input jacks provide a single location. In industries that require
extensive sound equipment, they are often used because they work well for connecting a
variety of devices.

ELECTRONIC SCHEMATIC (a stable multi-vibrator circuit)

Electronic components are the basic building blocks of an electronic circuit or

electronic system or electronic device.
Types of Electronic Components
Resistors

• Is the most common electronic component. Its principal job within an

electrical or electronic circuit is to “resist” or impede the flow of electrons.

• Resistance is measured in ohms which is proposed by Georg Simon Ohm,

represented by the Greek Symbol Omega (Ω).

• One distinct feature of this resistance is determining its value using the set of
color bands. Colored painted bands produce a system of identification
generally known as Resistors Color Code.

Diode

• Specialized electronic component with two electrodes called the anode

and the
cathode. Allowing the flow of current in one direction only.

• Father of Modern Electronics Sir Ambrose Fleming, develop the first

successful Fleming valve or vacuum tube in 1904. That gave birth to
the entire electronics industry.
• Father of Radio” and the “Grandfather of Television Lee De Forest
American inventor of the Audion vacuum tube. Added a 3rd electrode
called a control grid and the triode, which is used as amplifier, switch.

 HOW TO TEST A LAN CABLE

A LAN cable is a type of ethernet cable that brings an internet connection to

TVs and computers. In case you are having connection issues on your gadgets, at
that point, the issue may be a defective LAN cable. To test the cable, plug it into an
ethernet cable tester and see in case it effectively transmits a signal. In case you do
not have a cable tester, there are a few other troubleshooting tests to tell on the
off chance that the issue is the cable or your modem

METHOD 1. USING A CABLE TESTER

1. Get an ethernet cable tester. If your LAN cable

does not seem to be transmitting a signal, these
testers can confirm if the cable is bad. Look online
or in an electronics store for an ethernet cable
tester. They usually come in 2 pieces, the main
testing port and a receiver port.

• Read the instructions for any product you

use. While cable testers are similar, different
products may have different instructions.

• The cable tester may have both an insertion and receiver jack on one piece,
meaning you do not need a two-piece tester. Some other testers have both
options, so you can run the cable into other rooms if you want to.
• Make sure there is a battery in the tester before you use it. Most take a 9V battery.

2. Plug one end of the cable into the TX plug on

the tester. This is the insertion port. Plug either
end of the cable into this port until it clicks. This
indicates that the cable is fully connected.

• It does not matter which end of the cable you

insert into each port. Both ends are identical.

35
3. Plug the other end into the RX receiver
jack. Again, insert the end of the cable until it
clicks. This completes the connection so the tester
can measure the cable’s transmission.

• If the tester has the TX and RX inputs on the

same piece, then plug both in there. If the
tester has a separate piece for the RX input,
connect the cable there.

• If the tester has both options for the RX input, then you can choose which to
use. Usually, a separate piece is for stretching the cable into another room to
see if it transmits well over a distance.

4. Turn the tester on and watch if any lights do

not activate during the cycle. Once the cables are
connected, turn the tester on to begin the test. The
tester will cycle through 8 positions and a ground
connection, each represented by a light on the
tester. Since the cable is not grounded, the ground
position will not light up. If all the other
connections are good, then each position will light
up. If any besides the ground do not light up, then
the cable is bad.

• Some testers may have a few different modes or switches to choose from. Refer
to the instruction manual for how to set the tester if it has multiple options.
• Remember when you remove the cable, press down on the notch near the plug
to detach it. Do not pull it out or you could damage the machine and cable.

5. Replace the cable if any lights besides the

ground do not illuminate. If lights do not
illuminate, it indicates that the cable is not
transmitting a signal. The cable is bad, so you will
need a replacement.

• Remember that the ground position will not

light up since the cable is not grounded, so
do not worry if that one does not illuminate.

36
METHOD 2 TROUBLESHOOTING WITHOUT A TESTER

1. Check the connection signal on your

computer or TV. The first indication that your
ethernet cable may be faulty is a poor
connection. If you are using a computer, look on
the lower righthand side of the taskbar for the
connection bar. If the bar is low or you have no
connection, then there may be a problem with
the cable. If you are using a TV, a “No Signal”
message will probably appear when you turn it
on.

• Remember that this only applies if the LAN cable is connected. If you are
using Wi-Fi, then the problem may be with your router or modem. Confirm
that your computer is signed onto the network first.

2. Confirm that your cable is fully plugged in to

the computer and modem. If your internet is weak
or absent, there may be a problem with the physical
cable connection. First, check on the computer. Push
the cable in all the way. If the cable does not move, it
was fully inserted. If you hear a click, then the cable
was not plugged in entirely. Do the same for the
modem.

• Your TV may also be connected to the router if

it has an internet connection. Check behind
the TV to confirm that the cable is plugged in
properly.

3. Look for a green light on the back of your

modem. At the plug where the LAN cable connects,
modems usually have a light indicating the signal
strength. A green light indicates a good connection.
Yellow or red lights indicate signal problems. If the
light is not green, then check your connection or test
the cable.

• The green light may flash. This also indicates

a good connection.

4. Inspect the cable for any physical damage.

Rips, kinks, or sharp bends could damage the
cable and connection. If you are having
connection problems, do a physical inspection of
the cable. If you see any damage, then the cable
probably needs to be replaced.

• LAN cables can usually bend around

corners without much trouble. However,
37
 if the cable has a sharp fold, then it may
have internal damage.

5. Use a new LAN cable and see if the

connection improves. This can help you
differentiate if the problem is your cable or
modem. Take a new LAN cable and plug it into
your modem and device. Then wait to see if the
device establishes a connection. If you
successfully connect, then the problem was
probably the cable. If not, then it may be your
modem.

• It may take a minute for the device to receive a connection when you plug
the cable in. If it takes longer than 2 minutes, then there may be a
problem with the modem.
• Alternatively, you could also plug the cable into another device. This will
indicate if something was wrong with the first device.
