 Lesson

4 Maintain Tools and Equipment

Learning Outcome 1: Check condition of tools and

equipment.

What I Need to Know

At the end of this module, you should be able to:

Identify the functional and non-functional tools. (TLE_IAAW7/8MT-Oh-1)

What’s In

We had learned our previous lesson about on how to conduct SWOT analysis, and
we also learned the different products/services available in the market and to compare
different products in SMAW business, we had determined the profile potential customers
and we generate potential business idea based on the SWOT analysis through all the
learning we get from the topic we can used it to our new lesson which is the use of basic
hand tools as one of the investment for the entrepreneur to produce a quality SMAW
product by the aid of knowing the different uses and function of tools and equipment in
SMAW.

What’s New

ACTIVITY 1.
A. Give a brief description of the following:
 Functional/Non-Defective Hand tools
 Non-functional/Defective Hand tools

B. Give 3 an example of the following:

 Functional/Non-Defective Hand tools
 Non-functional/Defective Hand
 What is it
Functional/ Non-Defective and Non-Functional/Defective Hand tools
There are many ways of identifying hand tools. One of these is to identify them
according to their function. However, awareness of defective and non-defective hand tools is
a primordial concern of workers/welders to be effective in their jobs.

Classification of non-functional and functional tools.

Tools are very useful to us in our homes especially to our job but tools that are no
longer functional may cause harm.
A. Make an inventory of functional and non-functional tools in your shop.
B. Classify your tools according to its function.

Below are the recommended practices or method to identify defective and non-
defective hand tools.
1. Visual inspection:
Defective tools can easily be distinguished from the functional ones through visual
inspection. The physical appearance of tools will describe such characteristics as dullness,
sharpness, dismantled parts, and unevenness of the teeth of the cutting tools.
2. Functionality:
Another way is to check the quality of the manufactured tools. Is it already
susceptible to wear and tear? Has it already exceeded its service life? Has it passed the
manufacturer’s quality control test?
A few pieces of the hand tools issued in the shop can be subjected for
Condemnation they are no longer serviceable. Some hand tools issued for years in shops
and few pieces of these can be subjected for condemnation.
3. Performance:
Performance of hand tools is determined not only during the actual use but also after
use to find out whether the hand tools are still worth using.
4. Service span:
Hand tools are issued to shop teacher at one time. However, this must be recorded
to determine when it was received and how long the tools have been kept in the shop. A
hand tool which is too old is unsafe for both the students and workers. Such tool should be
marked defective and segregated from the good ones.
5. Person’s involved.
It refers to the technical person who has the knowledge and skills about the technology.

A. Basic Maintenance of SMAW Tools and Equipment

To ensure that your power tools and hand tools work when you need them, you must
take proper care of them. A good routine of maintenance for your tools is one thing that you
can do to make sure that the tool you need is working when you need it.
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.

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:

What I can do

ACTIVITY 5:
 Draw at least 3 functional and non-functional tool.do it in a long bond paper.

ACTIVITY 6.
 In your home, make an inventory of functional and non-functional tools then make a
