Basic Hand Tools

Driving of Tools

1. Screwdrivers are hand tools specifically designed to insert and tighten, or to

loosen and remove screws. A screwdriver comprises a head or tip, which
engages with a screw, a mechanism to apply force by rotating the tip, and some
way to position and support the screwdriver, the tip of which is shaped in to fit a
particular type of screw.

a. Slotted Screwdriver is used to drive or fasten negative slotted screws.

b. Phillips Screwdriver – used to drive or fasten positive slotted screws. It is a

screwdriver that could take greater torque and could provide tighter fastenings.

c. Jeweler's Screwdriver Set – is a set of small screw drivers composed of slotted and
Phillips screwdrivers.

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SERVICING 7

K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
 Soldering Tools

1. Soldering Iron – is a device for applying heat to melt solder in attaching two
metal parts. A soldering iron is composed of a heated metal tip and an insulated
handle. For electrical work, wires are usually soldered to printed circuit boards,
other wires, or small terminals. A low-power iron (20-30 Watts) is suitable for this
work.

2. Soldering Tool Stand – is a place where the soldering iron is placed during
usage. This will keep the soldering iron away from flammable materials. The
stand often comes with a sponge used in cleaning the tip of the soldering iron.

3.

Desoldering tool is used in removing soldered wires and components on printed

circuit boards for troubleshooting and repair purposes.

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SERVICING 8

K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
Splicing Tools

1. Long Nose is used for holding, bending, and stretching the lead of electronic
component or connecting wires.

2. Side Cutter is a wire-cutting pliers, though they are not used to grab or turn anything,
but are used to cut wires.

3. Wire Stripper is a pair of opposing blades much like scissors or wire cutters. The
addition of a center notch makes it easier to cut the insulation without cutting the wire.

Boring Tools

1. 12V Mini-Drill – is used to bore or drill holes in the printed circuit board (PCB)
with sizes from 1/32” – 1/16”.

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SERVICING 9

K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
 2. Portable Electric Drill is used for boring hole(s) in plastic or metal chassis with
the used of drill bits having sizes from 1/6” to approximately 1/4”.

3. Metal Files These are hand tools having a series of sharp, parallel ridges or
teeth. Most files have a narrow, pointed tang at one end to which a handle can
be fitted.
• Flat File is parallel in width and tapered in thickness; they are used for flat
surfaces and edges.

• Half Round File is tapered in width and thickness, coming to a point, and
is narrower than a standard half round and used for filing inside of rings.

• Round File - is also called rat-tail file which is gradually tapered and
used for many tasks that require a round tool, such as enlarging round
holes or cutting a scalloped edge.

 1. Utility Knife is a common tool used in cutting various trades and crafts for
a variety of purposes.

2. Hacksaw is used for cutting metals. Some have pistol grips which keep the
hacksaw firm and easy to grip. The small hand-held hacksaws consist of a
metal arch with a handle that fits around a narrow, rigid blade.

Auxiliary Tools

1. Magnifying Glass is a convex lens which is used to produce a magnified image

of an object. The lens is usually mounted on a frame with a handle. Roger Bacon
is the original inventor of the magnifying glass. A magnifying glass works by
creating a magnified virtual image of an object behind the lens. Some magnifying
glasses are foldable with built-in light.

2. Paint Brush – made of bristles set in handle, use for cleaning dirty parts of a
circuit or an object.

Electronic equipment

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SERVICING 11

K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
 Aside from hand tools, equipment are also needed for more accurate and quality
output. In this connection, three of the most used equipment are presented here for
you to be familiar with their uses and the proper way of maintaining them.

a. Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter. It is an equipment that combines three functions: as a

voltmeter that measures both ac and dc voltages; an ohmmeter that measures
resistance; and milliammeter that measures small amount of dc current. As
safety precautions in the maintenance of this instrument, the following should be
observed:

• Always rest the function switch at 250V AC if an OFF position is not available
in the instrument.

• For current and voltage measurements, always set the function switch in the
correct setting which is a little higher than the expected current or voltage
present in the circuit.

• Place the instrument in a cool dry place, away from any magnetic devices,
and free from vibrations.

Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter Signal generator

Oscilloscope

b. Oscilloscope. An oscilloscope (commonly abbreviated CRO, for cathode-ray

oscilloscope, or scope) is a piece of electronic test equipment that allows signal
voltages to be viewed, usually as a two-dimensional graph of one or more
electrical potential differences (vertical axis) plotted as a function of time or of
some other voltage (horizontal axis).

c. Signal generator. A signal generator is a device which produces simple wave

forms.

Such devices contain an electronic oscillator, a circuit that is capable of

creating a repetitive waveform. These are typically used in simple electronics repair
and design where they are used to stimulate a circuit under test.

Oscilloscope and signal generator should be given regular checkup for at

least once a week by connecting them in the power line. This will help prevent their
components from having moisture that might cause trouble in their circuits.

In any activity involving skills, it is a standard procedure that you must always use
the right tool or equipment properly that would fit in a particular task. In spite of this
reminder or caution, some students abuse the use of tools and still practice the
following common faults that must NOT be done.

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SERVICING 12

K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
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.

Disassembly and assembly of the circuit

Desoldering

At some stage, you will probably need to desolder a joint to remove or

reposition a wire or component. The easiest and most common way is the use of
desoldering pump. Shown below is the proper way of removing electronic components from
the circuit using a desoldering tool.

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SERVICING 19

K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
 Removing components in PCB using a
desoldering pump (solder sucker)

1. Set the pump by pushing the spring-loaded

plunger down until it locks.

2. Apply both the pump nozzle and the tip of your soldering iron to the joint.

3. Wait a second or two for the solder to melt.

4. Then press the button on the pump to release the plunger and suck the molten solder
into the tool.

5. Repeat if necessary to remove as much solder as possible.

6. The pump will need emptying occasionally by unscrewing the nozzle.

After removing most of the solder from the joint(s), you may be able to remove the
wire or component lead straight away (allow a few seconds for it to cool). If the joint
does not come apart easily apply your soldering iron to melt the remaining traces of
solder at the same time as pulling the joint apart, taking care to avoid burning
yourself.

Be careful in desoldering to be sure that no component is damaged during the process.

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.

Information Sheet.12

Resistor color coded value is not absolute. The real resistance of the resistor is sometimes
lower or higher than its color coded value but not to exceed its tolerance level.

Tolerance is the limit on how far the real value of the resistor can deviate from its color
coded value. It can be more or less but subjected to a tolerable limit.

In the color coding chart there is a column for tolerance. Color gold is + or – 5%,
silver is + or – 10 %, and the no color means + or – 20%.

Procedure in interpreting the tolerance of resistor

1. Identify the tolerance color of the resistor being analyzed. Assuming the color is
gold which has a value of + or – 5%.
2. Convert the percentage into its decimal equivalent. 5% is equivalent to .05
3. Compute for the percentage of the color coded value. Assuming that the color
coded value is 100 ohms ± 5%. So 100 x .05 = 5

4. For the + side, add 5 to the color coded value of 100.

100 + 5= 105 ohms

That is the maximum deviation for that resistor. Beyond that, the resistor will not be fitted for
the circuit which requires such tolerance.

5. For the – side, deduct 5 from the color coded value of 100.
100 – 5 = 95 ohms

That will be the minimum deviation for that particular resistor. Far beyond that
the resistor will be considered to be defective.

6. Finally the value of the resistor with colors brown- black- brown – gold is 100 ohms with a
deviation of +5 or -5. (95 ohms -105 ohms)

Resistor color coding gives us the color coded value of a given resistor as well as the
maximum and minimum value as dictated by the tolerance but the actual resistance is still
unknown to us. The actual value of the resistor and the recorded data will confirm the status
of the resistor whether good or defective.

OHMMETER

Ohmmeter is a measuring instrument used to determine the resistance of a component or

equipment. This instrument is a great help in knowing the actual resistance of the resistors
we use in the two operation sheets.

The commonly used ohmmeter in electro-electrical laboratories now nowadays is

embedded in a multi-function testing instrument called the (Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter ) VOM.
For this discussion the VOM will be used but confined only to the ohmmeter section.

PROCEDURE ON HOW TO INTERPRET RESISTANCE READING IN AN

OHMMETER

1. Know the value of individual calibration in the ohmmeter scale.

An ohmmeter scale is nonlinear which means the value of one line or

calibration may not be true to other lines. It is therefore proper to assign
values to every line for proper and accurate interpretation

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SERVICING 41

K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
 As shown in the illustration, the scale can be divided into eight areas where individual
treatment has to be made. Several mathematical computations will be involved to
show the manner how values of individual

lines are resolved.

The areas involved are 0- 2, 2-10, 10 -20, 20-50, 50 – 100, 100- 200,

200 – 300, 300 – 500.

Value of 1calibration = line distance / total calibrations involved

For 0- 2:
Line distance = 2
Total no. of cal = 10
Value of 1 line = 2/10
= 0.2
For 2-10:
Line Distance = 8
Total no. of cal = 16
Value of 1line = 8/16
= 0.5
For 10-20:
Line Distance = 10
Total no. of cal = 10
Value of 1line= 10 /10
= 1

For 20 -50:
Line Distance = 30
Total no. of cal = 15
Value of 1 line = 30/15
= 2.0
For 50-100:
Line Distance = 50
Total no. of cal = 10
Value of 1 line = 50/10
= 5.0
For 100 – 200:
Line Distance = 100
Total no. of cal = 5
Value of 1 line = 100/5
= 20

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SERVICING 42

K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
 For 200-300:
Line Distance= 100
Total no. of lines = 2
Value of 1 line = 100/2
= 50

For 300–500:
Line Distance = 200
Total no. of cal= 2
Value of 1 line = 200/2
= 100

2. Identify the appropriate range multiplier to be used Range multiplier is from R X 1,

R X 10, R X 100, R X 1K, and R X 10K.

3. Connect the metallic part of the test probes and take note if the pointer points at
zero. If not, adjust the zero ohm adjustment to zero.

Information Sheet.13

Measuring instruments in electronics are confined only to analog testers and

sometimes digital millimeter. Either way the maintenance of these instruments is a
priority in all electronics laboratory rooms.

Electronic Measuring Instruments

Aside from hand tools, measuring instruments are also needed for more accurate
and quality output. In this connection, three of the most used instruments are
presented here for you to be familiar with their uses and the proper way of
maintaining them.

Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter. It is equipment that combines three functions: as a

voltmeter that measures both ac and dc voltages; an ohmmeter that measures

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SERVICING 48

K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
 resistance; and milliammeter that measures small amount of dc current. As safety
precautions in the maintenance of this instrument, the following should be observed:

VOLT – OHM - Millimeter

• Always rest the function switch at 250V AC, if an OFF position is not available
in the instrument.

• For current and voltage measurements, always set the function switch in the
correct setting which is a little higher than the expected current or voltage
present in the circuit.

• Place the instrument in a cool dry place, away from any magnetic devices, and
free from vibrations.

Oscilloscope. An oscilloscope (commonly abbreviated CRO, for cathode-ray oscilloscope,

or scope) is a piece of electronic test equipment that allows signal voltages to be viewed,
oscope
usually as a two-dimensional graph of one or more electrical potential differences
(vertical axis) plotted as a function of time or of some other voltage (horizontal axis).

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SERVICING 49

K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
 OSCILLOSCOPE

Signal generator. A signal generator is a device which produces simple waveforms.

SIGNAL GENERATOR

Such devices contain an electronic oscillator, a circuit that is capable of creating a

repetitive waveform. These are typically used in simple electronics repair and design; where
they are used to stimulate a circuit under test.

Oscilloscope and signal generator should be given regular checkup for at least once
a week by connecting them to the power line. This will help prevent their components from
having moisture that might cause trouble in their circuits.

 To produce a quality and marketable electronic diagram, you have to follow
the Electronic Drafting Standards which is the process of illustrating various kinds of
circuits and wiring systems.

The most common graphical languages used in the illustration of components

in circuits and wiring systems are block, schematic, wiring, and pictorial
diagrams.

Most symbols that you will encounter in laying out electronic diagrams are
accepted as standard, but in some cases some manufacturers modify symbols and
practices to suit a particular industrial policy while others use their own symbols to
represent unique or special component and devices.

D
o you know that electronic symbols and their use in conjunction
with recommended drafting practices have been developed through
the years, and have been standardized by a number of different
organizations? Among these are the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI), the Electronics Industries Association (IEA), the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

Schematic Symbols of Electronic Components

Some of the electronic symbols that were mentioned earlier are shown in Fig. 1-2.

Drawing instruments and their uses

Drawing instruments are used in preparing accurate drawings. Quality drawing instruments
can produce accurate and good and presentable drawings. Below is a list of some of the
most common used drawing instruments and materials in electronic drafting.

1. Drawing board. A smooth board usually rectangular in shape provided

with perfectly straight edge which is used as working edge on which the
Tsquare is moved while making drawings.

2. T-square. A T-square consists of two parts namely the stock and the
blade joined together at right angles to each other by means of screws.
The stock is made to slide along the working edge and the blade moves

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SERVICING 59

K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
 on the drawing board. The working edge of a T-square is used to draw
parallel lines, vertical lines or inclined lines at 30 or 60 degrees.

3. Drafting machine or drafter. In a drafting machine, the uses and

advantages of T-squares, scales, set squares, and protractors are
combined. One end of the drafter is clamped at the left top end of the
drawing board by a screw provided in the drafter.

Resistor

A resistor is a device with a known value of resistance. Its main function is to reduce
voltage and to limit the flow of current in a circuit. This resistance is actually the opposition
that a component or material offers to the flow of current.

Resistance may or may not be useful in circuit/s. When too much current passes
through a conductor, (solid, liquid, gas through which electrons pass easily) the resistance of
the conductor may cause it to become hot. This, in turn, can create a fire hazard or cause
the conductor to burn out. In this case, it is not desirable. In other cases, when it is placed
intentionally in the circuit, it performs its specific task.

 It is a single value resistance, which remains the same under the normal condition.
The two common kinds of fixed resistors are carbon resistor and film-type resistor.

Carbon Resistor Film Resistor

Variable Resistor

Variable resistors are used when it is necessary to change the amount of resistance in
a circuit. There are two common variable resistors, the potentiometer and rheostat.
Generally a potentiometer is generally has carbon resistive element while the rheostat is
generally made of resistance wire.

Potentiometer Rheostat

Both devices have a sliding arm that brings into contact with the resistance element. In
most variable resistors the arm is attached to the shaft that can be adjusted Element

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SERVICING 66

K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
 A potentiometer is commonly used as control device. It can be used to vary the value of
voltage applied to a certain circuit such as in the amplifier, television, and different kinds of
meter circuit.

Resistor Power Rating

Power rating of resistors changes with their sizes, the bigger the resistor the greater the
wattages and the smaller the resistor the lesser the wattage. Different sizes of resistors are
shown below which are drawn to the exact proportion.

A capacitor is a device that consists essentially of two conducting surfaces separated

by a dielectric material like air, paper, mica, ceramic, glass, or Mylar. It makes it possible to
store electric energy. Electrons are detained within a capacitor. This, in effect, is stored
electricity. It is known as electrical potential or an electrostatic field. Electrostatic field hold
electrons. When the increase of electrons becomes great enough, the electrical potentials
are now ready to be discharged.

The component is designed intentionally to have a definite amount of capacitance.

This capacitance is a property that exists whenever insulating material permits the storage of
electricity. It is measured in Farad (F) micro Farad (µF), nano Farad (nF), and picoFarad (pF).

Characteristics of Capacitor:

Information Sheet 2.1

All electronic circuits from the simplest to the most complex design need
diagrams to be used as reference in designing, modifying, and troubleshooting the
circuit. The most common used electronic diagrams are schematic, pictorial, wiring,
and block diagrams. Each one of these diagrams has its own unique characteristics
in presenting the circuit. The different diagrams that you should be familiar with are
the following:

Pictorial diagram - It shows the pictures of the actual components and wiring
connections although it does not provide the exact size of components. It shows
exact shape in proportion to the actual component or device.

Information Sheet.13

One of the features of a quality electronic diagram is its appearance with simplicity in design
and easy-to-understand layout. To achieve this, you have to follow the following standards in
laying out electronic diagrams. Rules for Drawing Symbols

Recommended practices to be used in the application of symbols to a circuit diagram are listed
below.

1. The position of a symbol on a diagram does not affect its meaning.

2. The weight of a line used in drawing a symbol does not affect its meaning. In
some cases, a heavier line may be used to emphasize a particular symbol.

3. A given symbol may be drawn in any size that is suitable for use in any
particular diagram. However, when a symbol is enlarged or reduced in size, it
should be drawn in proportion to the rest of the drawing.

4. If necessary for contrast, some symbols may be drawn smaller or larger than
other symbols on a diagram. However, for simplicity, it is recommended that
not more than two different sizes of symbols be used on any one diagram.

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SERVICING 78

K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
 5. In general, a connecting line should be brought to a symbol either vertically or
horizontally, but a connecting line brought to a symbol at an angle has no
particular significance unless otherwise noted.

6. The arrowhead of a symbol may be open ( ) or closed ( ) unless

otherwise noted.

7. The standard symbol for terminal (o) may be added to any symbol. But when
this is done, the terminal symbol should not be considered a part of the
symbol itself.

Reference Designations

The symbols used to represent various components on a circuit diagram are most
often accompanied by a combination of letters that identify the components but
are not themselves a part of the symbol (Table 3-1).

Table 3-1. Reference Designations of Electronic Components

Components Class Designation Letter(s)

Capacitor C

Diode D

Resistor R

Switch S or SW

Transformer T

Transistor Q or TR

When more than one symbol of a specific type of component appears on a

diagram, the letter (or letters) is followed by numbers that identify the
components. These combinations of letters and numbers are referred to as
reference designations (Fig. 3-1).

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SERVICING 79

K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
Fig. 3-1. Recommended methods of indicating reference designations and component values.

Numerical Values of Components

When details of the type, rating; or value of a particular component are to be given on a
diagram, this information is placed adjacent to the symbol or is given by means of notes
accompanying the diagram. For example, resistance and capacitance values are indicated
as shown in Fig. 1-3. In this scheme, the symbol Ω for ohms and the abbreviations µF and
pF for capacitance values are usually omitted and are instead replaced by notes such as the
following:

1. All resistors expressed in ohms unless otherwise indicated.

2. All capacitors expressed in microfarads unless otherwise indicated.

A resistance value of 1,000 ohms or more is most often expressed in terms of Kilohm
(K) or Meghm (M) units. Thus a resistance of 4,700 ohms is written as 4.7K, while a
resistance of 270,000 ohms may be written as 270K or as 0.27M. The comma used when
writing a 4-digit number such as 4,700 is not used when such a number is given on a
diagram.

Capacitance values of 1 through 9,999 picofarads are usually expressed in picofarad

units. Capacitance values greater than 10,000 picofarads should be expressed in
microfarad units.

Suffix Letters

Suffix letters are used to identify separate parts of a unit upon a diagram when such
components appear as a single, enclosed unit as shown in Fig. 3-2. C1A and C1B are the
suffix letters used in the diagram.

C1B

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SERVICING 80

K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
 C1A

Fig. 3-2. Two capacitors are enclosed in one unit.

Layout

The layout or form of a diagram should show the main features prominently. The
parts of a diagram should be carefully spaced to provide an even balance between
blank spaces and lines. Enough blank space should be left in the areas near
symbols to avoid crowding any necessary notes or reference information (Fig. 3-3).

Fig. 3-3. Schematic diagram of an audio amplifier.

Line Thickness

As with other types of diagrams, a schedule of line weights or line conventions

is used in drawing electrical and electronics diagrams. The standard line conventions
used in the preparation of these diagrams are shown in Table 3-2.

 Connecting Lines

Lines connecting symbols and other parts on a diagram should, whenever

possible, be drawn either horizontally or vertically. As a general rule, no more than
three lines should be drawn to any point on a circuit diagram (Fig. 3-4A). This
procedure reduces the possibility of line crowding that could make the interpretation
of a diagram more difficult than necessary.

RECOMMENDED AVOID IF POSSIBLE

drawing lines to a point upon a diagram, (B) two “groups” of connecting lines drawn
parallel to each other.

When connecting lines are drawn parallel to each other, the space between
them should be at least 1/16 inch when the diagram is reduced to a final size.

Interrupted Lines

Connecting lines whether single or in groups, may be interrupted when a

diagram does not provide for a continuation of these lines to their final destination.
When a single line is interrupted, the line identification can also indicate the
destination (Fig. 3-5A). When groups of lines are interrupted, the destination of the
lines is usually given in conjunction with brackets (Fig. 3-5B). In all cases, the lines
should be located as close as possible to the point of interruption.

Read Information Sheet 1.1 very well then find out how much you can remember
 Information Sheet 1.1
In every field of work, there are safety precautions and practices to be
followed to prevent accidents. Sometimes before an accident occurs a warning is
given, so the individual concerned can prepare for the undesirable eventualities. In
some situations, no warning at all is served and anyone is caught by surprise.

In areas where students are acquiring basic technical skills safety begins the
moment they enter the work area or at times before reaching that work area.
Identifying health hazards and occupational risks is indispensable. In laboratory
areas where students stay to acquire skills there are certain points to consider.

1. Electrical hazards. Electrical hazards are the type of risks that are more likely fatal
than any other hazards that can happen in a laboratory room. Electrical hazards such
as electrical shocks from open wires, grounded electrical appliances can be found
anywhere in a disorganized laboratory area.

2. Hazards from improper use of hand tools. Hand tools are classified into cutting

tools, driving tools, boring tools, joining tools, and measuring tools.

Cutting tools may inflict injuries when improperly handled due to its sharp edges that can
cut through the skin of the human body.

Other hazards and risks are caused by objects not properly placed in laboratory area
where crumbling or falling is highly possible.

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SERVICING 102

K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
 Objects placed on top of a cabinet can be very

dangerous to students and teacher as well.

Other untoward incidents also happen as a result of haste and sometimes neglect of
tools, materials, and equipment in the shop. Disorderliness can also make things worse,
hence presence of mind, particularly while working is important. It is very useful to follow
guidelines that will serve as a safety net.

TOOLS MAINTENANCE and SAFETY RULES

Tools will last longer when properly kept and maintained. A good worker keeps and
cares for his tools. The following are some pointers to follow in keeping hand tools in good
condition.

1. Be sure to inspect tools before using them. This is to check if they are in good
working condition. The evidence is when you are able to use them smoothly and
conveniently with ease and comfort.

2. After using a tool, clean it thoroughly with a damp cloth before keeping it in a tool
box or cabinet.

3. Oil the metal parts of a tool to prevent any form of damage caused by air, water, or
rust.

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SERVICING 103

K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
 The following safety rules should be understood and strictly followed to
avoid accidents while working.

1. Avoid wearing loose clothing when working. Sleeves should be fit and shirts
tucked in as much as possible. Remove ties, watches, rings, and other jewelry
from your body.

2. Report immediately injuries or accidents of any type to your teacher.

3. Never put fasteners or any small metal articles in or near the mouth when
working.

4. Never throw tools of any type around. Make sure the sharp edge of cutting tools
are away from the edge of the table or work bench.

5. Keep working areas clean and free from disposable materials.

6. Secure the help of your classmates when carrying heavy tools to avoid accidents.

7. Never use dull or damaged tools.

8. Do not use tools with loose handles and ragged. Report cases like these to the
teacher and do necessary repair and adjustments, if possible.

9. Know and observe safety measures specific for each tool or operation.

Safety Requirements

For your protection, observe the following safety requirements:

 Follow all cautions, warnings, and instructions marked on the equipment.

 Ensure that the voltage and frequency rating of the power outlet matches
the electrical rating labels on the system.

 Use properly grounded power outlets.

 Safety Requirements with the Use of Personal Protective Equipment

Hand Tool Design, Selection, and Setup

1. Weight - Use the lightest weight tool possible to avoid injury. Excessively heavy tools must be
equipped with mechanical support and attached hoses should be supported.

Support - Equip tools with some means of mechanical support so you don't need
to hold a heavy tool continuously while working. If mechanical support cannot be
provided, the workstation should be designed so you can put the tool down or rest it in a
holster when it is not in use.

2. Balance - Additional force is required to use an unbalanced tool. The tool's center of gravity
should be close to the body, close to the handles, and in line with the center of the hand
holding the tool.

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SERVICING 105

K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
3. Torque Control - High torque requires a lot of force to keep the tool from rotating out of your
hand. Torque settings should be set to the minimum required by job specifications, especially
for in-line and pistol-shaped tools.

4. Grip - Tool handles should allow stable and efficient grip. The handle should be cylindrical or
oval in shape, with a diameter of between 1.25 and 1.75 inches. Tool handles should contact
as much of the hand and fingers as possible. Grips should be made of non-slip compressible
and nonconductive material. Avoid form-fitting handles (handles with finger grooves), since they
may not fit the hand size of every user. Handles should be kept clean and free from slippery
grease, oil, or sweat.

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SERVICING 106

K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
5. Span - On two-handled manual tools, like pliers, the open span should be about 4
inches and the closed span should only be about 1.5 inches.

6. Spring-loaded handles - A spring-loaded mechanism saves muscular effort and reduces

mechanical stress on the backs and sides of fingers for such tools as scissors, pliers, and other
manual cutting and gripping tools which have to be opened and closed repeatedly during use.

7. Choose the right tool shape - Pistol-shaped tools should be used on a vertical surface or on a
horizontal surface below waist height. Bend the tool, not the wrist.

8. Avoid bending over your work.

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SERVICING 107

K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
9. Avoid overhead work if possible. Use a ladder to reduce the need for outstretched arms.

10. Keep the elbows close to the body.

11. Tilt the work surface instead of the wrist.

12. Stand with weight evenly distributed on both feet. When standing for long periods of time, rest
one foot on a sturdy object above floor height and switch legs periodically.

13. Sit up straight so the chair offers good back support. Adjust the chair back so it comfortably
supports the natural curve of the lower back. Adjust the seat height to allow thighs to be parallel
to the floor.

Soldering iron - used in joining two or more electronic components’ terminals and
connecting wires on printed circuit board (PCB). The ideal power rating used for this
purpose is 30 watts

Soldering gun- has a larger power rating, usually 100-140 watts. It is used for
soldering work requiring higher temperature like direct chassis soldering. This device
is also convenient for intermittent operation, since it heats almost instantaneously
when you press the trigger

Desoldering tool- used to remove soldering lead when a component is to be

removed from the PCB where it is soldered. The soldered joint is heated by a
soldering iron or a soldering gun, and then the soldering tool pulls the molten solder
out of the connection

Soldering iron stand- used to support a heated soldering iron when not in used

Paint brush- used in cleaning components mounted on printed circuit boards. It is also
used in removing dust inside and outside of electronic apparatus

Mini-drill - a tool used for drilling small holes through printed circuit boards (PCB),
wood or plastic. It consists of a chuck which is adjustable to handle drill bits from
1/32” to 1/16” diameter. This device is supplied with 12V dc voltage from a battery or
from an adapter with 12V dc output

Screwdriver - instruments designed to drive in and take out screws. The two most
common types used in the shop are the standard screwdrivers with a flat blade, and
the Philip Screwdriver with the crossed tip to fit the recesses of a Philips-head screw.
Both of these types are manufactured in various sizes and styles such as the
standard, stubby, and offset. An important rule to remember in the use of
screwdrivers is to use the right size for the right screw. Too big a size damages the
slot of the screw and may even cause the screw to break. Too small a size will dent
the screwdriver and also damage the slot of Philips screws

Pliers - designed for gripping the holding small parts in electronic servicing, assembly and
troubleshooting

Side-cutting pliers - these are used mainly for gripping, bending, cutting small
electronic components’ terminal or wire. When this pliers is provided with insulated
handles, it is also called electrician’s pliers

Long-nosed pliers - these are manufactured either straight or bent. They are used for
holding very small parts and for positioning in hard-to-get-at place. They are also very
useful in making small loops or rings out of wires. This is sometimes called needle-
nosed pliers. The bent kind is also known as crooked-nosed pliers

Diagonal-cutting pliers- or simply diagonals are useful in cutting excess terminals

of components after soldering them in the printed circuit board

Nipper-type diagonal cutter- used for precise cutting of components’ terminal. This
type of pliers is used where accuracy is a factor in cutting the excess leads of
components soldered in the printed circuit board

Information Sheet 1.1

Maintaining Tools

To avoid accidents in the work place due to incorrect use of hand tools, it is a
must that you understand the proper use of these tools. Study and practice proper
use and maintenance of tools to prolong their life span and of course to avoid
accidents due to improper or misuse of such tools.

Proper Use, Maintenance and Storage Tools

The use of safety hand tools should be a key component of most school safety
programs. An understanding of the hand tool’s intended use and environment,
combined with proper tool selection, maintenance and storage, will greatly reduce the
risk of harmful accidents.

The following are guidelines maintaining and storing tools.

 Keep hand tools clean and free from ferrous or other contaminants.
 Do not use hand tools in direct contact with acetylene, due to the possible formation
of explosive acetyl ides, especially in the presence of moisture.
 During normal use, all pliers and screwdrivers will progressively develop some
damage to the striking faces of screwdrivers or the cutting edge and striking end of
pliers. As part of the normal operating and safety procedures, these tools should be
returned to the workshop, as with steel tools, to have the faces and heads redressed.

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SERVICING 125

K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
 This is essential to prevent eye damage resulting from chips detaching from the item
during use.
 Do not used hand tools fitted with wooden handles in places where the handles may
dry out and shrink. This will increase the risk of the handle breaking or the head
becoming loose.
 Tools are designed for specific use. As with any tool. In addition to the probability that
the tool will be damaged, this is a dangerous practice for the safety of the operator.
 The accepted standards of safety and maintenance for common steel hand tools
must also be adopted with non-sparking hand tools, in addition to any specific
recommendations resulting from the alloys used.
 When sharpening hand tools, follow normal safety procedures, such as the provision
of eye and face protection, adequate extraction and dust collecting facilities.

Specifically, some tools require special care and maintenance due to their features and
frequent use in any electronics or electrical job. Additional care and maintenance must
be observed to the following:

 Soldering iron

• Always clean the tip before and after using.

• Do not wash the tip just to speed up its cooling process after using it. It might
damage the heating element and corrode the tip.

 Soldering gun

• Be sure to tighten the two nuts holding the tip before using it to have
maximum heat transfer to its tip.

Soldering gun

• Avoid direct contact of the soldering iron’s tip to the tip of the
desoldering tool when doing desoldering work.

 Electric drills

These are tools that are used to bore holes in metals, wood, plastic or PCB
in the process of electronic projects assembly. The most common of these are the
mini drill powered from 12V DC voltage and the standard electric drill that can be
connected directly to the 220 V AC power line.

Chuck jaw

Before using a drill, be sure to tighten the chuck jaw and secure the drill bit
properly. The materials to be bored and the drill bit must be at 90 degrees angle to
achieve efficient boring operation.
For more efficient and quality output with zero accident, the following Safety Pointers in
Electronics Shop work are additional reminders for you to follow:

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SERVICING 127

K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
 As a reminder, a good technician should always remember that “prevention is better than
cure” to avoid accidents that might cause damage to tools, instruments, or even inflict
injuries to himself while performing electronic jobs.

Accidents can be prevented by following the reminders listed below:

 Be sure you are physically and mentally fit when working with electrical or electronic circuits.

 Use only standard tools and instruments in performing any electronic job.

 Always use the right tool for the right job.

 Do not attempt to use tools or instruments you are not familiar with. Ask the assistance of
your teacher or a person in authority in operating such unfamiliar electronic gadget.

 Keep all tools and instruments in a safe place like tool box or tool cabinet to avoid accident
and easy access when these tools are needed for use.

 If accidents happened, report immediately to your teacher.

 Keep all tools and instruments in good condition by following the steps of proper care and
maintenance of electronic tools and instruments.

 Your working area must be kept clean, in order, and free from any object that might hamper
your work.

 Keep flammable substance and materials away from your working area by keeping them in a
safe place intended for them.

 If possible, work with only one hand while working in a “live” circuit.

 Keep yourself insulated from earth ground when working on power line circuit, since one
side of the line is connected to the earth.

 When your work is done, clean your working table and return all tools and instruments in
their proper places.

 Clean tools and equipment work more efficiently. At the end of each working day clean the
tools and equipment you used and check them for any damage. If you note damage, tag the
tool as faulty and organize a repair or replacement.

 Electrical current can travel over oily or greasy surfaces. Keep electrical power hand tools
free from dust and dirt and make sure they are free of oil and grease.

o All workshop hand tools and equipment should have maintenance schedule.

 1. It is suitable for electronic work because if we exceed its maximum temperature, it
can cause the printed circuit board to break and result to damage of components.
2. It is the best because it is flexible in observing all sides of the circuit guided by bright
light.
3. It is best to use the right size of the Philips screw driver because this will prevent the
screw from loosen its thread.
4. It is best to use the right size of drill bit in boring holes because undersized drilled
holes will need to be drilled again (This will prolong the work activity) while oversized
holes will cause a wastage in the material.
5. Soldering stand keeps the soldering iron from flammable materials and protects the
user from accidentally touching the hot portion of the soldering iron.
