storage.
• Computer chassis - the enclosure that
contains most of the components of a
computer.
• Diagnostic tools - used to test the integrity of
circuits and the quality of electricity in
computer components and to test the
functionality of computer
• Hazards - risks; dangers.
• Insulation - a material that reduces or
prevents the transmission of heat or sound or
DEFINITION OF TERMS
• Nozzle -a projecting part with an opening, as
at the end of a hose, for regulating and
directing a flow of fluid.
• Preventive - intended or used to prevent or
hinder.
• Static electricity - an accumulation of electric
charge on an insulated body.
• Tool - a handheld device that aids in
accomplishing a task.
• Toolkit - a set of tools designed to be used
together or for a particular purpose.
ACRONYMS

• ESD - Electro-Static Discharge


• USB - Universal Serial Bus
• LCD - Liquid Crystal Display
PROPER TOOL SELECTION

• A tool is a handheld device that aids


in accomplishing a task.
• Tools range from a traditional metal
cutting part of a machine to an
element of a computer program that
activates
and controls a particular function.
PREPARING FOR THE TASK

How do you select the best tool for


the job?
First, know and understand in detail the scope
of work to be accomplished,
Second, plan for the scope taking into
account the sequence of tasks.
PREPARING FOR THE TASK

• Selecting the best tool for each task requires


training in the proper use of the tools, field
experience in their safe use, and following the
manufacturer’s guidance and instructions for that
specific tool.
• When obtaining the tool all the associated
tooling and consumable parts, as
recommended by the manufacturer, must be
included. In addition, related consumable
parts must also be selected and used
SAFE USE OF TOOLS
Environmental Safety and Health Program
requires the following:
• All tools be kept in good condition with regular
maintenance
• The right tool be used for the job
• Each tool be examined before use AND
damaged or defective tools NOT to be used
• Tools be operated according to manufacturer’s
instructions
• The right protective equipment for the tool and
activity be used
HARDWARE TOOLS
Hardware tools are grouped into four
categories:
1. Electro-Static Discharge (ESD)
tools
2. Hand tools
3. Cleaning tools
4. Diagnostic tools
ELECTRO-STATIC DISCHARGE (ESD TOOLS)

• Static electricity is easily generated by


friction on carpets, tile flooring,
clothing, hair, fabric, and etc. The
friction of moving air alone will charge
suspended particles and cause
the buildup of static electrical
charges on people and objects in the
environment.
• Grounded anti-static work mats used
with anti-static wrist straps provide
the most basic means for the
ESD TOOLS

• Anti-static wrist strap - used to


prevent ESD damage to computer
equipment.
ESD TOOLS

• Anti-static mat - used to stand on or


place hardware on to prevent static
electricity from building up.
HAND TOOLS

• A hand tool is a device for performing


work on a material or a physical
system using only hands.
• The hand tools can be manually used
employing force, or electrically powered,
using electrical current.
HAND TOOLS

• Flat head screwdriver - used to


loosen or tighten slotted screws.
HAND TOOLS

• Philips head screwdriver - used to


loosen or tighten crosshead
screws.
HAND TOOLS

• Torx screwdriver - used to loosen or


tighten screws that have a star-like
depression on the top, a feature
that is mainly found on laptop.
HAND TOOLS

• Hex driver –
sometimes called a
nut driver, is used
to tighten nuts in
the same way that a
screwdriver
tightens
screws.
HAND TOOLS

• Needle-nose plier - used to hold small parts.


HAND TOOLS

•Wire cutter
• used to strip
• and cut wires.
HAND TOOLS

• Tweezers - used to manipulate small parts.


HAND TOOLS

• Part retriever - used to retrieve parts from


location that are to small for your hand to fit.
HAND TOOLS

• Flashlight - used to light up areas that you cannot see


clearly.
CLEANING TOOLS

• Having the appropriate cleaning tools


is essential when maintaining or
repairing computers.
• Using these tools ensures that
computer components are not
damaged during cleaning.
CLEANING TOOLS

• Lint-free cloth - used to clean different


computer components without scratching or
leaving debris.
CLEANING TOOLS

• Compressed air -
used to blow away
dust and debris from
different computer
parts without
touching the
components.
CLEANING TOOLS

• Cable ties - used to bundle cables


neatly inside and outside of a
computer.
CLEANING TOOLS

• Parts organizer - used to hold screw, jumpers,


fasteners and other small parts and prevents
them from getting mixed together.
DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS

• Multimeter - used to test the integrity of circuits and the


• quality of electricity in computer components.
DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS

• Loopback Adapter - used to test the functionality of


• computer ports.
