 Definition of Terms
• Nonpolar solvents - solvents which do not
dissolve/are insoluble in water
• Pneumatic tool - instrument activated by air pressure
• Polar solvents - solvents which dissolve/are soluble in
water
• Solvent - a component of a solution that dissolves
solute and is usually present in large proportion or
amount
Classification of Tools and Equipment
• A tool is a device that can be used to produce an item or accomplish a task,
but that is not consumed in the process. It can be considered as extension
of the human hand thus increasing speed, power, and accuracy and on the
other hands equipment includes any machine powered by electricity.

1. Hand tools are tools manipulated by hands without using electrical

energy such as: puller, hacksaw, pull-push rule, pliers, hammer, and others.
2. Machine/Power tools are tools manipulated by our hands and with the
use of electrical energy such as: electric drill, grinding wheels, vacuum
cleaner and others.
​3. Pneumatic tools are tools or instruments activated by air pressure.
Pneumatic tools are designed around three basic devices: the air cylinder,
the vane motor, and the sprayer
 A. Basic Maintenance of Electrical
Tools and Equipment
• ​1. Clean out the Dust. To make sure that your electric tools
are ready to go when you are, keep them clean and free of
dust. Spend some time to clean out the dust every once in a
while on your tools while they are inactive in storage.
2. Check the Cords. Look for tear/cut insulator on the power cords on
your electric tools. This will ensure that your electric tool can get the
power that it needs to function without an accident.

3. Use the right tool correctly. Use tools correctly and for their
intended purposes. Follow the safety directions and operating
procedures recommended by the manufacturer. When working on a
circuit, use approved tools with insulated handles.
4. Protect your Tools. Keep tools and cords away from heat, oil, and
sharp objects. These hazards can damage insulation. If a tool or cord
heats up, stop using it. Report the condition to a supervisor or
instructor immediately.
5. Use double- 6. Storing Your Tools-

tool and the worker.
B. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) are gadgets to protect workers from
injury or illness caused by having contact with the dangers/hazards in the
workplace whether they are chemical, biological, radiation, physical,
electrical, mechanical and others.
These are the common Personal Protective Equipment gadgets:

*​ Hard Hats/ Helmets

​*Gloves
*Goggle
*Mask
*Work boots Pants
 C. Classification of non-functional and
functional tools
​ . Make an inventory of functional and non-functional tools in your shop.
A
B. Classify your tools according to is function.
Method of identifying non-functional tools and equipment
1. Visual inspection. It refers to the visual observation of an expert on the
appearance of the tools and equipment.
2. Functionality. Vibration or extra noise from the operation means problems
on parts and accessories started to develop.
3. Performance. When there is something wrong with the performance of
either hand tools or equipment they need an immediate repair or
maintenance.
 C. Classification of non-functional and
functional tools
4. Power supply (for electrically operated only).
Failure to meet the required power supply,
malfunction will occurs in the part of hand tools or
equipment.
5. Person’s involved. It refers to the technical person
who has the knowledge and skills about the
technology.
Classifications of tools and equipment according to their uses:

1. Measuring tools
2. Holding tools
3. Cutting tools
4. Driving tools
5. Boring tools
6. Electrical equipment
7. Miscellaneous tools/instrument/equipment
 Non-functional tools and equipment are those that are not able
to perform its regular function because of impaired and damage
part. Examples of these are the following:

Hammer with a broken handle ​ Long Nose Pliers with damage jaw

Screw driver with a broken handle

​A broken/cut foot rule ​Electrical equipment with damage cord
Functional tools and equipment are those that are in good
condition and can perform its regular functions. Examples of
these are the following:
Tools and equipment are lubricated according to
preventive maintenance schedule or manufacturer’s
specifications.
*Measuring instruments are checked and calibrated in accordance
with manufacturer’s instructions.
*Tools are cleaned and lubricated according to standard procedures.

*Defective equipment and tools are inspected and replaced

according to manufacturer’s specification.
*​Work place is cleaned and kept in safe state in line
A lubricant is a substance introduced to lessen friction between
moving surfaces. It may also transport external particles. The
property of reducing friction is known as lubricity.

​Types and Uses of lubricants

1. Anti-rust lubricant spray:
o loosen rusted part
o cleans and protect
o drives out moisture
o stops squeaks
​o free sticky mechanisms
2. Wire Pulling Lubricant:
o does not damage insulation
o cling to wire and dries to a slippery film
o suitable for use with wire or cable covered with rubber (t, thw,
thhn, etc)
3.All Purpose Anti Rust Lubricant:
o anti-rust
o lubricating
o rust removal
o decontamination
​o conductance
4.Lubricant Oil and Engine Oil:
o lubricating the gear
o cleans and protect
​o drives out moisture
5. Silicon Lubricant:
o heat stable
o lubricates
o protects
o reduces friction
​o water repellant
• Reminders:
A good lubricant possesses the following characteristics:
 High boiling point.
 Low freezing point.
 High viscosity index.
 Thermal stability.
 Corrosion prevention.
​ High resistance to oxidation.
• Types and Kinds of Cleaning Solvents
Solvent is a component of a solution that dissolves
solute and is usually present in large proportion or
amount. It can be classified as polar and nonpolar.
Polar solvents are solvents which
dissolve/are soluble in water; while
Nonpolar solvents are solvents which do not
dissolve/are insoluble in water. Solvents are usually
used for cleaning in workshops. They are water,
gasoline, kerosene, thinner and detergent soap.
Kinds of cleaning solvent based on their
solubility in water:
5’s Approach in workshop keeping :
5’S is a reference to a list of five Japanese words translated into English. This
is an approached of organizing and managing the workplace and work flow with the
intent to improve efficiency by eliminating wastes, improving flow of production,
reducing process delays.
