HOW TO USE THIS COMPETENCY BASED LEARNING MATERIAL

Welcome to the module in Use Hand Tools. This module contains training
materials and activities for you to complete.

The unit of competency "Use Hand Tools" contains knowledge, skills and
attitudes required for a Electrical Installation and Maintenance course. It is
one of the specialized modules at National Certificate II (NC II) level.

You are required to go through a series of learning activities in order to

complete each learning outcome of the module. In each learning outcome are
Information Sheets and Resources Sheets (Reference Materials for further reading to
help you better understand the required activities). Follow these
activities on your own and answer the self-check at the end of each learning
outcome. You may remove a blank answer sheet at the end of each module (or get
one from your facilitator/trainer) to write your answers for each self-check. If
you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask your facilitator for assistance.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

You may already have some or most of the knowledge and skills covered in
this learner's guide because you have:
been working for some time
already completed training in this area.

If you can demonstrate to your trainer that you are competent in a particular
skill or skills, talk to him/her about having them formally recognized so you
don't have to do the same training again. If you have a qualification or
Certificate of Competency from previous trainings, show it to your trainer. If the
skills you acquired are still current and relevant to the unit/s of competency
they may become part of the evidence you can present for RPL. If you are not
sure about the currency of your skills, discuss this with your trainer.

This module was prepared to help you achieve the required competency, in
Electrical Installation and Maintenance NC II. This will be the source of
information for you to acquire knowledge and skills in this particular trade
independently and at your own pace, with minimum supervision or help from
your instructor.

 Talk to your trainer and agree on how you will both organize the Training of
this unit. Read through the module carefully. It is divided into sections,

5’S

Learning Objectives: , the trainee will be able to plan and prepare task to be
undertaken.

What is 5S?
- These came from the Japanese system of workplace, wherein everything
should be organized and planned.
- This is also a way of showing self-discipline.
- Is the most basic and fundamental approach for improving productivity
in all types business and particularly at plants and factories.

The five 5S are:

SEIRE SORT SURIIN-PILIIN
SEITON SYSTEMATIZE SINUPIN-IAYOS
SEISO SWEEP SIMUTIN-LINISIN
SEIKETSU SANITIZE SIGURUHIN-KALINISAN
SHITSUKE SELF-DISCIPLINE SARILING KUSA

Housekeeping habits
5S is the most basic and fundamental approach or principle applied in a
workplace, these principle serves as guides for productivity.

The housekeeping habits are:

1. SEIRE – Sort Out – Suriin-Piliin

“Take out unnecessary items and dispose”.

The first stage of 5S is to organize the work area, leaving only the tools
and materials necessary to perform daily activities. When “sorting” is well
implemented, communication between workers is improved and product quality
and productivity are increased.
It means sorting things into different categories, from most frequently
used items which you want to keep closer to your work area to less frequently
used items which you want to keep in a distant storage area, and finally those
you will never use, which of course, you want to dispose of.

else may.)

 Allocate a "Yellow Tag" location near the

workplace.
 Review on a specific date.
 Store occasionally necessary items in out of
the way locations.

 Leave "Green Tag" items in the workplace.

 Set their final location later.

2. SEISO – Sweep – Simutin-Linisin

“Clean your workplace”.

The second stage of 5S is keeping everything clean and swept. This

maintains a safer work area and problem areas are quickly identified. An
important part of “shining” is “Mess Prevention.” In other words, don’t allow
litter, scrap, shavings, cuttings, etc., to land on the floor in the first place.

Benefits of 5S Shine
- Eliminate spring cleaning
- Incorporate cleaning into daily routine
- Maintain clean and ready-to-use equipment

We will help you

- Define shine target
- Identify shine methods
- Implement standardized cleanup

Make “Shine” a natural part of your work day

These process is to eliminate (or at least minimize) the need to clean the
work area through the development of innovative ideas.

3. SEITON – Systematize – Sinupin-Iayos

“Arrange necessary items in good order”.

The third stage of 5S involves the orderly arrangement of needed items so

they are easy to use and accessible for “anyone” to find. Orderliness eliminates
waste in production and clerical activities.
Systematic arrangement of things: office supplies, jigs and tools,
documents, spare parts, and books, etc. for the most effective and efficient
retrieval. This requires a thorough analysis of current usage – how the things
you want to organize are used and who uses them.

4. SEIKETSU – Sanitize/Standardize - Alagaan

“Maintain high standard of housekeeping”.

The fourth stage of 5S involves creating a consistent approach for carrying

out tasks and procedures. Orderliness is the core of “standardization” and is
maintained by Visual Controls. We will teach the benefits of:
- Signboard strategy
- Signboard uses
- Painting strategy
- Colour-coding strategy

5. SHITSUKE – Self Discipline – Sariling Kusa

“Do thing spontaneously without being told or ordered”.

This last stage of 5S is the discipline and commitment of all other stages.
Without “sustaining”, your workplace can easily revert back to being dirty and
chaotic. That is why it is so crucial for your team to be empowered to improve
and maintain their workplace. When employees take pride in their work and
workplace it can lead to greater job satisfaction and higher productivity.
Even if you set a standard, the need for training and educating every
member of the group must continue. It is necessary to upgrade the skills and
techniques of all the members of the workforce so that improvement and higher
productivity can be constantly sought after.

3. Scrap useless molds and dies. Keep them at a position away from the
workplace when used on rare occasion.
4. Dispose of documents not used more than one (1) month on the desk or
drawer.
5. Do not put scrap of paper, old cloth, defective parts, tools, etc. on or inside
the shelf in the workplace.

SEITON
STEP 1: Make sure that all unnecessary items are eliminated from your
workplace.

STEP 2: Decide where to put things, taking into consideration the point of view
of efficient operation, using the principle “put most frequently needed items
closer to the user so as to minimize the movement of the person”.

STEP 3: Make sure that everyone in the workplace know what and where items
are kept. It is preferred to make a list of items with their respective locations,
and label each drawer to show what is kept inside.
Note: the objective of SEITON is to make a safe and efficient workplace.

Practical “SEITON” practices:

1. Place tools in good order in the toolbox or put them into the holder attached
to the side of the production line.
2. Set up the depository for indirect parts or materials, like oil, solder, grease,
waste cloth, paper, etc, needed for the manufacturing and never put excessive
ones in the workplace.
3. Put parts or materials in proper places to maintain the best process efficiency
through process analysis.
4. It is important to view machine layout wide in three dimensions.
5. You should recognize that the process retarded and overflowing with material
unlike smooth flowing water in a river may be caused by a wrong order.
6. Make a flow of production straight and direction of the flow is clear.
7. Arrange the installation of equipment and machine after the flow of
production line is properly fixed.

SEIKETSU
STEP 1: Create housekeeping maintenance system.

STEP 2: Promote housekeeping competition.

Note: Always maintain high standard of housekeeping.

Practical “SEIKETSU” practices:

1. Keep your working uniform clean.
2. Always make the place well ventilated and illuminated.
3. Floors should be free from oil spills.
4. Working tools should always be place and not scattered.
5. Always wear personal protective gears.

SHITSUKE
STEP 1: Treat your workplace your second home.

STEP 2: You are spending more of your waking time at your workplace than at
home.
STEP 3: The workplace is where you derive your income for you and your
family.
Note: Managerial and supervisory people should show good examples.

American wire gauge (AWG)

also known as the Brown & Sharpe wire gauge, is a standard wire gauge system used
since 1857 in the United States and other countries for the diameters of round, solid,
nonferrous, electrically conducting wire. Since AWG is specifically for electrical
conductors, the cross-sectional area of each gauge is an important factor for determining
its current-carrying capacity.

Heat Gun
heat gun is a device used to emit a stream of hot air, usually at temperatures between
100°C and 550°C (200-1000°F), with some hotter models running around 760°C
(1400°F), which can be held by hand. Heat guns usually have the form of an elongated
body pointing at what is to be heated, with a handle fixed to it at right angles and
a trigger, in the same general layout as a handgun, hence the name.

Soldering iron
A pointed metal tool heated for use in
melting and applying solder. Used for
joining the Pay attention to the "tip" of
the iron - the better quality ones have
a slightly duller-looking metal coating
on the very end, the last 1 cm. Irons
where the tip is all one silver/chrome
color are ok, but don't last as long. Be
sure to get one that is "grounded", i.e.
has the larger (3-conductor) plug to plug in the wall. The iron's power rating
should be 15 to 25W and it should be fitted with a small bit of 2 to 3mm
diameter.

Other types of soldering iron

Low voltage soldering irons are available, but their extra safety is undermined
if you have a mains lead to their power supply! Temperature controlled irons
are excellent for frequent use, but not worth the extra expense if you are a
beginner. Gas-powered irons are designed for use where no mains supply is
available and are not suitable for everyday use. Pistol shaped solder guns are
far too powerful and cumbersome for normal electronics use.

Soldering iron stand

You must have a safe place to put the iron when you
are not holding it. The stand should include a sponge
which can be dampened for cleaning the tip of the iron.

De-soldering pump (solder sucker)
A tool for removing solder when de-
soldering a joint to correct a mistake or
replace a component.

Solder remover wick (copper braid)

This is an alternative to the de-soldering pump shown
above.
Not absolutely necessary, but helps clean up when
you've put too much solder somewhere. It's a roll of
braided copper, that when heated will suck up excess
solder. Alternatively you can use a "solder sucker", a
spring-loaded vacuum tube, not shown.

Reel of solder
Solder is an alloy (mixture) of tin and lead, typically
60% tin and 40% lead. It melts at a temperature of
about 200°C. Coating a surface with solder is called
'tinning' because of the tin content of solder. Lead is
poisonous and you should always wash your hands
after using solder.

Solder for electronics use contains tiny cores of flux, like

the wires inside a mains flex. The flux is corrosive, like an acid, and it cleans
the metal surfaces as the solder melts. This is why you must melt the solder
actually on the joint, not on the iron tip. Without flux most joints would fail
because metals quickly oxidize and the solder itself will not flow properly onto a
dirty, oxidized, metal surface.

The best size of solder for electronics is 22swg (swg = standard wire gauge).

Safety requirements in Using Pipe Tools

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

After reading this Information Sheet you should able to:

1. Apply safety in using pipe tools
2. Value the importance of safety in using hand tools.

Pipe Tools - Wrenches, Cutters, Reamers, and Threaders

Safety for using pipe wrenches

Pipe tools are made in various shapes and sizes and for many uses. Always use the
correct tool for the job.

 Wear safety glasses or goggles, or a face shield (with safety glasses or

goggles), when necessary.
 Select a pipe wrench with sufficient capacity and leverage to do the job.
 Use a pipe wrench to turn or hold a pipe. Never use a pipe wrench to bend,
raise or lift a pipe.
 Adjust the pipe wrench grip to maintain a gap between the back of the hook
jaw and the pipe. This concentrates the pressure at the jaw teeth, producing
the maximum gripping force. It also aids the ratcheting action.
 Keep pipe wrench teeth clean and sharp.
 Pull, rather than push on the pipe wrench handle. Maintain a proper stance
with feet firmly placed to hold your balance.
 Face a pipe wrench forward. Turn wrench so pressure is against heel jaw.
 Do not use a pipe wrench as a hammer, or strike a pipe wrench with a
hammer.
 Do not use pipe wrenches on nuts and bolts.
 Do not use a pipe extender for extra leverage. Get a larger pipe wrench.
 Inspect pipe wrenches periodically for worn or unsafe parts and replace them
(e.g., check for worn threads on the adjustment ring and movable jaw).

Ensure that trainees are properly trained in the safe use of hand tools. Always provide
training on how to choose the right tool for the job, how to correctly use each tool, and
how to identify when tools need repair.

 Select the right tool for the job. Substitutes increase the chance of having an
accident.
 Use tools designed to allow wrist to stay straight. Avoid using hand tools with
your wrist bent.
 Use good quality tools.
 Keep tools in good condition at all times.
 Inspect tools for defects before use. Replace or repair defective tools.
 Keep cutting tools sharp and cover sharp edges with a suitable covering to
protect the tool and to prevent injuries from unintended contact.
 Replace cracked, splintered, or broken handles on files, hammers,
screwdrivers, or sledges.
 Ensure that the handles of tools like hammers and axes fit tightly into the head
of the tool.
 Replace worn jaws on wrenches, pipe tools and pliers.
 Redress burred or mushroomed heads of striking tools.
 Pull on a wrench or pliers. Never push unless you hold the tool with your palm
open.
 Point sharp tools (e.g., saws, chisels, knives) laying on benches away from
aisles and handles should not extend over the edge of the bench top.
 Maintain tools carefully. Keep them clean and dry, and store them properly
after each use.
 Carry tools in a sturdy tool box to and from the worksite.
 Wear safety glasses or goggles, or a faceshield (with safety glasses or
goggles) and well-fitting gloves appropriate for the hazards to which you may
be exposed when doing various tasks.
 Keep the work environment clean and tidy to avoid clutter which may cause
accidents.
 Use a heavy belt or apron and hang tools pointed down at your sides, not
behind your back.
 Keep the work space tidy. Store tools properly when not in use.

 Do not use tools for jobs they are not intended to do. For example, do not use
a slot screw driver as a chisel, pry bar, wedge or punch, or wrenches as
hammers.
 Do not apply excessive force or pressure on tools.
 Do not cut towards yourself when using cutting tools.
 Do not hold the stock in the palm of your hand when using a cutting tool or a
screwdriver. Always lay it on a workbench or in a vice.
 Do not wear bulky gloves to operate hand tools.
 Do not throw tools. Hand them, handle first, directly to other workers.
 Do not carry tools in a way that interferes with using both hands on a ladder,
while climbing on a structure, or when doing any hazardous work. If working on
a ladder or scaffold, tools should be raised and lowered using a bucket and
hand line.
 Do not carry a sharp tool in your pocket.
 Do not use tools during electrical work unless they are designed for electrical
work (e.g., properly insulated).
 Do not leave tools lying around on elevated structures such as a platform or
scaffold as they may be bumped and fall.

Cutting, Reaming, and Threading Conduit

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

After reading this Information Sheet you should able to:

1. Identify the tools needed in cutting, reaming and threading conduits.
2. Value the importance of cutting reaming and threading conduits.

RMC, IMC, and EMT are sold in 10' sections and normally cut to length using a pipe
cutter or hacksaw. Select the correct blade for the material being cut and make sure the
cut is straight and smooth.

Cutting (Pipe Cutter Method)

Pipe cutters can be used on RMC, IMC and EMT. Turn the handle ¼ turn for each full
turn around the conduit. Avoid over tightening.

Reaming Conduit

After cutting, conduit must be reamed to remove any burrs or sharp edges. A file can be
used when a reamer is not available.
Rotate a reamer in a downward motion. Remove the reamer by pulling back while
continuing to rotate it.

Threading Conduit

RMC and IMC can be threaded to accept threaded fittings. Ratchet threaders are
available that produce from 8 to 18 threads per inch.

How to Use a Pipe Reamer

Step 1

Choose the appropriate diameter of reamer for your conduit (RSC/IMC). Pipe
reamers come in three different sizes and should only be used for the holes that
they neatly fit into. The sizes of pipe reamers include a 1/8-inch to 1-inch, 1/4-
inch to 1 1/4-inch and a 1/4-inch to 2-inch diameter.

Step 2

Fit the pipe reamer into the hole until it fills the hole. Pipe reamers are shaped
like a spike or shank, so the tip will have a smaller diameter than the base.
Insert it into the hole until the reamer's diameter is flush with the diameter of
the pipe.

Step 3

Depress the drill trigger or turn the T-handle clockwise to begin reaming the
conduits. Depending on the size of the burr, this process may take a few
minutes or longer.

Manual Pipe Threader Instructions

Threaders are designed to thread pipe or conduit using individual die heads for
each size of pipe and a manually operated ratchet.

1. Inspect the threader before use. Replace dies or any other part that shows
damage or wear.

2. Mount the pipe firmly in a pipe vise. When

threading an existing pipe, make sure it is
secure and will not move. Cut the end of
the pipe cleanly and squarely using a
pipe cutter.

3. Ream the end of the pipe to remove any

burrs that may have been produced
during the cutting of the pipe .

4. Select the correct die head for the size and

type of pipe to be threaded and the thread
form you require. Insert die head into the
ratchet. Slip the pipe guide at the rear

5. Before applying force to the handle, ensure

that the ratchet pawl is engaged.

6. When hand threading, your weight should be above the handle ensuring
maximum leverage. If possible, do not do all the work with your arms, use
your weight. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance to
maintain better control.

7. Apply a generous quantity of oil when
Threading, use of a lubricating oil or a poor
thread cutting oil can result in a poor
quality cut thread, leaky joints, short die
life and high handle forces.

8. Stop threading when the end of the dies are flush with the end of the pipe.
At this point, the correct size has been reached to produce the proper joint.
To continue beyond this point would make a straight or running thread.

9. When the thread is complete, back off the die head by reversing the ratchet
mechanism and turning the die head in the opposite direction. When the
dies are nearly removed from the thread, maintain close control of the
threader so that the threads are not damaged

Electrical Measuring Instrument

Multi-meter is a measuring instrument. It can be used to measure

voltage, current and resistance.
Technical term for multi-meter is tester; it is also called Volt-Ohm Meter
or (VOM).
An analog meter moves a needle along a scale. The function of the meter
can be changed by switching the dial.
Most modern multi-meters are digital. Similar to analog ones, digital
multi-meter has a dial to select its function. However, instead of having to
interpret the reading of an analog scale, the data is shown directly in digital
format on the LCD display.
Multi-meters are very useful test instruments. By operating a multi-
position switch on the meter they can be quickly and easily set to be a
voltmeter, an ammeter or an ohmmeter. They have several settings (called
'ranges') for each type of meter and the choice of AC or DC. Some multi-meters
have additional features

Two type of a multi-meter

 Digital Multi-Meter
 Analogue Multi-Meter

Digital multi-meters
All digital meters contain a battery to power the
display so they use virtually no power from the circuit
under test. This means that on their DC voltage ranges they
have a very high resistance (usually called input
impedance) of 1M or more, usually 10M , and they are Digital Multi-meter
very unlikely to affect the circuit under test.

Typical ranges for digital multi-meters like the one illustrated:

(The values given are the maximum reading on each range)

 DC Voltage: 200mV, 2000mV, 20V, 200V, 600V.

 AC Voltage: 200V, 600V.
 DC Current: 200µA, 2000µA, 20mA, 200mA, 10A*.
*The 10A range is usually un-fused and connected via a special socket.
 AC Current: None. (You are unlikely to need to measure this).
 Resistance: 200 , 2000 , 20k , 200k , 2000k , Diode Test.

 Digital meters have a special diode test setting because their resistance
ranges cannot be used to test diodes and other semiconductors.

Digital display
Values can be read directly from digital displays so they
are easy to read accurately. It is normal for the least
significant digit (on the right) to continually change between
two or three values, this is a feature of the way digital
meters work, not an error! Normally you will not need great precision and the
least significant digit can be ignored or rounded up.

Digital meters may be connected either way round without damage; they will
show a minus sign (-) when connected in reverse. If you exceed the maximum
reading most digital meters show an almost blank display with just a 1 on the
left-hand side.

All digital meters contain a battery to power the display so they use virtually
no power from the circuit under test. This means that digital voltmeters have a
very high resistance (usually called input impedance) of 1MΩ or more, usually
10MΩ, and they are very unlikely to affect the circuit under test.

For general use digital meters are the best type. They are easy to read, they
may be connected in reverse and they are unlikely to affect the circuit under
test.

Analogue multi-meters
Analogue meters take a little power from the circuit
under test to operate their pointer. They must have a
high sensitivity of at least 20k /V or they may upset the
circuit under test and give an incorrect reading. See the
section below on sensitivity for more details.

Batteries inside the meter provide power for the

resistance ranges, they will last several years but you
should avoid leaving the meter set to a resistance range
in case the leads touch accidentally and run the battery
flat.

 Typical ranges for analogue multi-meters like the one illustrated:
(the voltage and current values given are the maximum reading on each range)

 DC Voltage: 0.5V, 2.5V, 10V, 50V, 250V, 1000V. 

 AC Voltage: 10V, 50V, 250V, 1000V.
 DC Current: 50µA, 2.5mA, 25mA, 250mA.
A high current range is often missing from this type of meter.
 AC Current: None. (You are unlikely to need to measure this).
 Resistance: 20 , 200 , 2k , 20k , 200k .
These resistance values are in the middle of the scale for each range.

It is a good idea to leave an analogue multi-meter set to an AC voltage range

such as 1000V when not in use. It is less likely to be damaged by careless use
on this range, and there is a good chance that it will be the range you need to
use next anyway!

Sensitivity of an analogue multi-meter

Multi-meters must have a high sensitivity of at least 20k /V otherwise
their resistance on DC voltage ranges may be too low to avoid upsetting the
circuit under test and giving an incorrect reading. To obtain valid readings the
meter resistance should be at least 10 times the circuit resistance (take this to
be the highest resistor value near where the meter is connected). You can
increase the meter resistance by selecting a higher voltage range, but this may
give a reading which is too small to read accurately!

Analogue display
Analogue displays have a pointer which moves
over a graduated scale. They can be difficult to read
because of the need to work out the value of the
smallest scale division. For example the scale in the
picture has 10 small divisions between 0 and 1 so
each small division represents 0.1. The reading is therefore 1.25V (the pointer is
estimated to be half way between 1.2 and 1.3).

The maximum reading of an analogue meter is called full-scale

deflection or FSD (it is 5V in the example shown).

Analogue meters must be connected the correct way round to prevent them
being damaged when the pointer tries to move in the wrong direction. They are
useful for monitoring continuously changing values (such as the voltage across
a capacitor discharging) and they can be good for quick rough readings because
the movement of the pointer can be seen without looking away from the circuit
under test.

Taking accurate readings

To take an accurate reading from an
analogue scale you must have your eye in
line with the pointer. Avoid looking at an
angle from the left or right because you will
see a reading which is a little too high or too
low. Many analogue meters have a small
strip of mirror along the scale to help you.
When your eye is in the correct position the Correct Wrong
reflection of the pointer is hidden behind the reflection hidden reflection visible
pointer itself. If you can see the reflection you are looking at an angle.

Instead of a mirror, some meters have a twisted pointer to aid accurate

readings. The end of the pointer is turned through 90° so it appears very thin
when viewed correctly.

 ∞
The infinity ( ) sign mean very high
resistance or can’t be measured.

How to use the Ohmmeter:

NOTE:

1. Always set the pointer of an ohmmeter carefully to the zero resistance

point on the scale by means of the zero corrector indicators.

2. Change the ohmmeter batteries promptly when the meter can no longer
be set to zero.

Procedures:
1. Open the back case of the tester by using the screw driver either flat or Philip
screw driver to insert the battery then closed it.
2. Be sure that the device is disconnected from the power source.
3. Insert the test prods to the female receptacles of the tester, the red test prod
to the positive sign; the black test prods to the negative sign.
4. Set the indicator pointer to zero resistance on the scale by connecting the two
tests prods.
5. Adjust the range selector switch to a selected range.
6. Short circuit the test prods and zero in the indicator pointer by adjusting the
ohms adjusting knob
7. If the resistance value cannot be read accurately on the selected scales,
switch to a new range and repeat step 4.
8. Test the resistance of the specific device and read the measurement in OHM
scale.
9. You get the measured value by multiply the reading on the scale by range

Example:

A B C

Pointer “A”
Range = x1 “the pointer deflect at second major position; between 50 to 100
scale.”

Measured value = Scale Reading x Range = 70 x 1 = 70Ω

Pointer “B”
Range = x10 “the pointer deflect at second minor position; between 20 to 30
scale.”

Major value = 20
Minor value = 2
Add the Value of major and minor = 20 (Major) + 2 (2/Minor) = 24
So the Measured value = Reading x Range = 24 x 10 = 240Ω

Pointer “C” is another case of reading; every movement of the pointer will be
count so that this case the position of the pointer is not exactly in the major and
minor scale or in between the scale.

Range = x 1k “The pointer stops in between two minor position; between 10

to 20 scale.”
Major value = 10
Minor value = 1
Half minor value = 0.5
Add the Value of major and minor = 10 (Major) + 1 (1/Minor) + 0.5 (Half
Minor) = 11.5
So that measured value = 11.5 x 1k = 11.5kΩ or 11,500

How to use the Voltmeter:

Voltage, V
 Voltage is a measure of the energy
carried by the charge.
Strictly: voltage is the "energy per unit
charge".
 The proper name for voltage is
potential difference or p.d. for short,
but this term is rarely used in
electricity.
Connecting a voltmeter in parallel
 Voltage is supplied by the battery (or
power supply).
 Voltage is used up in components, but not in wires.
 We say voltage across a component.
 Voltage is measured in volts, V.
 Voltage is measured with a voltmeter, connected in parallel.
 The symbol V is used for voltage in equations.

Voltage at a point and 0V (zero volts)

Voltage is a difference between two points,
but in electronics we often refer to voltage at a
point meaning the voltage difference between
that point and a reference point of 0V (zero
volts).

Zero volts could be any point in the circuit, but to

be consistent it is normally the negative
terminal of the battery or power supply. You
will often see circuit diagrams labeled with 0V as
a reminder.

You may find it helpful to think of voltage like height in geography. The
reference point of zero height is the mean (average) sea level and all heights are
measured from that point. The zero volts in an electronic circuit is like the mean
sea level in geography.

How to use the Current meter:

Current, I

 Current is the rate of flow of

charge.
 Current is not used up, what flows
into a component must flow out.
 We say current through a
component.
 Current is measured in amps
(amperes), A.
 Current is measured with an
ammeter, connected in series.
To connect in series you must
break the circuit and put the
ammeter across the gap, as shown
in the diagram.
 The symbol I is used for current in equations.

 1A (1 amp) is quite a large current for electronics, so mA (milliamps) are

often used. m (milli) means "thousandth":

1mA = 0.001A, or 1000mA = 1A

The need to break the circuit to connect in series means that ammeters
are difficult to use on soldered circuits. Most testing in electronics is done with
voltmeters which can be easily connected without disturbing circuits.

NOTE:

1. Always set the pointer of a voltmeter carefully to the zero resistance

point on the scale by means of the zero corrector indicators.

2. Change the batteries promptly when the meter can no longer be set

Maintaining Hand Tools

If you take care of your tools, they will return the favor. Proper care and routine
maintenance of your hand tools makes any home improvement or repair project easier
safer nd more successful. Proper tool care also saves you money because the better
they’re cared for, the longer they’ll last.

Hand Tools
Hand tools such as screwdrivers, wrenches, hammers, pliers,
levels, and wire cutters are examples of common household
tools that are often left out in places such as basements,
garages and tool sheds. Tools are tough, but they are not
indestructible and exposure to the elements can take its toll.

Below are some tips on how to take care of your tools and store them properly so that
you get optimum use out of them.

Clean inspect and care for tools

Make it a habit to clean tools after each use before you return them to storage. Wipe
them down with a rag or old towel and be sure they are free of dust, grease and debris
before you put them into their proper places. This is also an opportunity to look for any
damage or defects. Check your tools' handles for splinters, breaks and cracks. Also,
make sure that metal parts show no signs of corrosion or rust. Repair or replace any
tools that show signs of damage.

Store tools properly

A proper storage system is a must for hand tools. A

toolbox, storage container, shelving unit, or a
combination of all of these can be used to keep your
tools protected and in peak condition. Ideally, your
storage units should be kept somewhere with minimal
exposure to moisture and temperature changes.
Remember to keep tools in their respective places or
hung on designated hangers when a job has been
completed.

Rust is public enemy number one when it comes to tools. To avoid rust when storing
your tools:

 Keep your tools in a dry place. It seems obvious, but garages and basements
and other enclosed spaces can have humidity issues, especially if they are not
heated or air-conditioned. If you keep your tools in a location like this, especially if
you keep them out on shelves or pegboards, consider investing in a dehumidifier
to keep the dampness down.

 Use silica gel packs or rust collector. The silica gel packs that come in lots of
packaging are great at keeping moisture at bay. Toss them in drawers or
toolboxes and they can help keep rust away. You can also buy rust inhibitors for
the same purpose and even anti-rust liners for drawers and shelves.

 Loose, cracked, or splintered handles. If a wooden handle is damaged, it is

prone to breaking during use, which can cause injury to you or others. If a handle
is not splintered too badly, you can probably sand it down just fine. Sand against
the grain first if the handle is really rough and then sand with the grain until it's
smooth enough you can run your hand along it without feeling any chips or
splinters. Finish off with a coating of linseed oil. However, if the handle is cracked
or heavily splintered, you'll need to replace it.

 Corrosion and rust. Depending on the level of corrosion or rust, the tool may be
unsafe to use. Try removing the rust yourself or just replacing the tool. Removing
rust from tools is actually pretty easy if the damage isn't too great.

 Frayed insulation or exposed wires. Obviously, these are electrical hazards.

While some electrical tape might take care of a small problem temporarily, it's best
to have the tool repaired before using it.

How to Maintain Hand Tools

Pipe Tools - Wrenches, Cutters, Reamers, and Threaders

 Inspect pipe wrenches periodically for worn or unsafe parts and replace them
(e.g., check for worn threads on the adjustment ring and movable jaw).
 Keep pipe wrench teeth clean and sharp.
 Replace pipe cutter wheels which are nicked or otherwise damaged.
 Replace worn jaws on wrenches and pipe tools.
 Carry tools in a sturdy tool box to and from the worksite.
 Maintain pipe tools carefully. Keep them clean and dry, and store them
properly after each use.

Common Hand Tool

 Keep cutting tools sharp and cover sharp edges with a suitable covering to
protect the tool and to prevent injuries from unintended contact.
 Replace cracked, splintered, or broken handles on files, hammers,
screwdrivers, or sledges.
 Ensure that the handles of tools like hammers and axes fit tightly into the head
of the tool.
 Replace worn jaws on pliers.

Handling Multimeter

HANDLING A MULTIMETER

When handling a multimeter it is wise to be sure the

meter is held securely. Dropping a multimeter, especially
an analog meter, even from a small height can affect
future readings and the accuracy of the multimeter. While
taking readings the user is most likely going to need the
use of both hands to complete the task. As a result it is
necessary to be sure the meter is set securely in a safe
place where it can be read without having to change the
user’s position. If no suitable spot is available, a second person to hold the meter and/or
record the readings may be necessary. Some meters also can be equipped with
magnetic straps or tethers to aid in their use by a single technician.

STORAGE

Multimeters should be stored in a dry place

where they will not be subject to physical
damage. Most multimeters will come with a
case in which to store them. This case not only
keeps all the pieces together in one place
(meter, leads, batteries, magnetic strap etc.) it
will also protect the vulnerable parts, such as
the display, from any damage that may occur.

When storing a multimeter for a prolonged period, removing the batteries will ensure that
corrosion will not accumulate at the battery connections.
The leads on multimeters can be varying in length. Additional care must be taken to

ensure the internal connections of the leads do not become damaged by tightly winding
them around themselves.
Multimeter Safety Tips

1: Choose the Right Meter

It is very important to select the multimeter that can handle your job. This helps to avoid

error, damaging the meter or electrical accidents.

Always go for a meter that is suitable for your measurement location and has the highest
CAT ratings in which it could potentially be used or one with a rating that is higher than

what you require.

For instance, if you want to measure an electrical distribution panel with 500 V, use a

meter with CAT IV-600 V, CAT-III-1000 V, or CAT III-600 V.

2: Examine The Meter Before Using It

 Start by looking for the signs of physical damage.

 Do not assume the multimeter is in a good working condition. You should

check if it is working properly before using it.

 After use, disconnect the test probes and store the unit and its accessories

in a protective case.

3: Examine The Test Probes

 Start by physically inspecting the probes, ensure that are shrouded and are

not worn, cracked or damaged.

 Ensure that the connection should be firm and secure when you insert them

into the jacks.

 Make sure the test lead metals are minimally exposed at the tip to avoid

electrical shorting.

 Do not use a damaged test probe or attempt to repair it. Damaged probes

must be replaced.

4: Avoid Electric Shock

Electric shock happens when the body of the operator becomes part of an electrical

circuit. For this reason, you should always assume that all the component of an electrical

circuit is energized.

You should also be aware of the positioning of your body when you find yourself in

electrical environments.

JESSIE D.RECTO Revision # 01
The seriousness of an electric shock depends on:

 The amount of current flowing through the circuit

 How long the body is exposed to the flow of current

 The area exposed to the contact and the path through which the current

flows

 The condition of the exposed region to the current (for instance, dry hands

have more resistance to current flow than wet hands).

To avoid electric shock, follow the below tips:

 Make use of your personal protective materials. Wear your gloves, and

headwear, and use the insulated rubber mats when working on electrical

circuits that are 50 V or greater.

 When working near or on energized or exposed circuit, do not work alone.

 Avoid operating the meter in damp or humid environments.

 Watch for the audio or visual warnings in your multimeter display unit.

Tip 5: Understand The Dangers

Transient overvoltage (power surge): This is a brief, unwanted, erratic spike in energy
that can amount up to thousands of volts. Lightning strikes, switching power on and off,
motors and unfiltered electrical equipment are the prime generators of spikes. Transient
overvoltage is an almost inevitable danger of testing electrical gadgets.

Arc blasts, arc flashes: these are the current discharge across an air gap. They are
caused by a) accidental contact between conductors or b) excess voltage ionizing the air
between the conductors.

Tip 6: Know the CAT Ratings

CAT rating is the magnitude of the temporary power spike that a meter can withstand.

Overvoltage category or CAT Ratings — Source: ABCs of multimeter safety — Fluke

 The CAT categories depend on the fact that a hazardous high energy spike
such as lightning strike will be dampened or attenuated as it moves through

the impedance of an electrical gadget.

  The key to CAT ratings is the location. As an energy spike (transient) moves

through an electrical system, the ac resistance (impedance) will reduce it.

 Typically, the nearer you are to a source of power, the higher a CAT number
will be, which means the higher the potential energy transients the electrical

environment has. A meter with CAT IV ratings is more resistant to higher

energy transients than one with CAT III standards.

Tip 7: Know The Voltage Ratings

A higher voltage rating within a CAT category represents the ability to withstand higher

energy spikes.

For instance, a CAT III-1000 V multimeter has higher protection than a CAT III-600 V
multimeter. Whereas a CAT III-600 V meter offers more protection than a CAT II-1000 V.
