PRE-OPERATIVE CHECK UP OF FARM TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT S
LE
Imagine that the long, hot summer vacation has finally come to an end and it‘s
the beginning of the school year and you are ready to start working your vegetable
DU

gardens. But before that let us check first our tools, implements and equipment you
are going to use.
MO

Garbed with your working clothes and personal protective equipment (PPE).
Proceed to the shop to retrieve your tools so that you can start clearing away the last
ON

remnants of summer and begin breaking the soil for a new year. Imagine your
frustration as you start pulling out all of your tools to see that they are covered with
I
AT

rust and dirt that has hardened and crusty globs of oil that have collected dust last
vacation. It seems that you are going to spend more time cleaning and repairing tools
R

on this nice day than you will actually use them.


NE

How to Clean Your Tools and Equipment:


GE

Let‘s start with the basics. Your shovel, spade, hoe, or even the blades on a
hedge trimmer will be a lot easier to use if you take a few minutes to knock some of
T

the rust off the blade. Not only will this extend the life of the tool, but also it will cut
1S

through the soil better, and thus require less effort to use, if it has a nice sharp blade.
It is a good idea to keep a large whetstone in your shop. A whetstone is an ideal tool
to use to keep all of the cutting edges of your garden tools honed. It will work well on
your shovel, as well as many other common garden tools.

The best way to use the stone is to find a way to stabilize the tool that you want
to work on. A bench vise is ideal. You will be able to clamp the tool into place at an
angle, so you can work on it. Clamping the garden tool into place with a vise frees up
both of your hands to use the whetstone and gives you more control over what you
are doing.

10
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Subject to further validation for IP compliance, this material is for first quarter use only. Circulation shall be limited to public schools within the jurisdiction of the Division of Cebu Province. LR-PIPCV
Apply a little bit of lubricating oil to the end of the tool and carefully begin to
work the stone over the blade. Maintain a 30- degree angle between the stone and the
blade to form the ideal cutting edge for your tool. Not only will the edge become
sharper, but you will also be removing any pitting and rust that has formed at the edge
of your tool‘s blade.

In instances where the moving parts of your garden tools (such as with of any
new pruners, shears, and loppers) have frozen in place, like springs and pivot joints,
you should disassemble them first carefully break free any rust or dirt that may keep
the tool from functioning properly. Clean accumulated rust and dirt off all metal

2.0
surfaces with a wire brush. Remove stubborn rust from small tools with fine steel wool.
Using an old toothbrush with some lightweight lubricating oil is a great way to work
fresh oil into the joints of most garden tools. Not only will this fresh oil helps your tool

ON
to work as it was intended, but it will also prevent the formation of rust. Use medium-
grit sandpaper to remove rust on larger tools such as shovels, spades, and hoes.

SI
Once your tools are cleaned, they're ready to be sharpened. When sharpening,

ER
try to maintain the original factory bevel or angle. For pruners, use a whetstone
because it produces a very sharp cutting edge. Depending on the type of whetstone,

-V
apply a few drops of oil or water to the stone. With the beveled side of the blade against
the stone, rub the sharp edge of the blade toward the stone in a curved motion, as if S
you were trying to shave off a thin slice from the stone.
LE
When working with a file, stabilize the blades in a vise or against a solid surface
DU

such as a work bench to avoid injury and ensure an even stroke. Always push the file
across the blade in a motion away from your body. Move the file diagonally, so that its
MO

cutting teeth are biting into the metal on the tool. When sharpening with a file, do not
use oil; metal filings will accumulate and clog the file's serrations.
ON

Farm implements like ordinary plow and wooden harrow should be checked
thoroughly before use. Loosened bolts and nuts should be tightened firmly. Disc plow
I

and harrow should also be lubricated on their moving parts like bearings. Tractors
AT

should be tuned-up very well by skilled operator. Check on their oil, lubricant, fuel and
cooling system.
R
NE

Tools that are worn out should be separated and be fixed immediately to avoid
accident.
