INFORMATION SHEET 1.2
Defective and Non-Defective Hand tools
Introduction:
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? Is it made with quality and has passed the
manufacturer’s quality control test?
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 after the actual use has been
tested and evaluated, and the outcomes will be the basis if the hand
tools are still worth for work.
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
were kept in the shop. A hand tool which is too old is unsafe for both
the students and workers. These should be marked defective and
segregated from the good ones.

end of the used vise jaws.
2. Stand with your feet 25 to 30 centimeters apart and one foot
forward.
3. Lean the body a little forward as shown in the drawing.
22
Steps in Sawing the Stock
1. Start the saw by guiding the blade with the thumb of your left
hand while taking one or two light strokes with your right-hand.
2. Move the saw with steady and even motion of about 40 to 60
strokes per minute.
3. Apply pressure during the forward stroke and release during the
return strokes.
4. Hold the stock with your left hand to avoid cuts and as your saw
with right hand.
23
Steps in Squaring off a 90 o Bend (cont.)
1. Place the metal over a pipe or round bar and clamp in a bench
vise.
2. Strike the metal with a glancing blow using the flat head of a
hammer until the desired curve is obtained.
24
Cold Chisel is used for cutting and chipping cold metals.
Observe the manner the person works with the ball peen hammer and
the chisel as shown in the illustration above. A cold chisel will cut
metals only if you strike it with the flat head of a ball peen hammer. The
complete safety protection device and the body position when performing
the task (chiseling) are evidently done.
25
Wrench is used for loosening and tightening light and heavy nuts
and bolts. There are various kinds and sizes of wrenches designed
according to uses and function. A tool steel on movable jaws.
A repair worker often uses tools to remove and replace damaged parts.
The wrenches are used to tighten and loosen the nut and bolts that hold
the parts in place. Other tools are used to hold parts for cutting, welding
and other works.
26
Wash type of wrench is usually used for only one or two different jobs.
Figure above shows a repair worker using a box of wrench and an open-
end wrench to remove a deck lid bolt in an automobile. The ends of the
wrench are offset (the hand is lower than the handle). In this way, the
worker’s hand is above the surface of any object as the nut of bolt is
turned.
Screw drivers are usually made in different sets. This tool is used to
tighten and loosen screws by pushing or pulling screws in a rotating
manner. In the above illustration, a set of standard and Phillips tips of
different sizes are shown.
27
Screw driver is driven by fully turning the blade clockwise motion until
the entire screw removed to the wood and metal. The purpose is to hold
or fix two pieces and by no chances to space apart even opposing force
occurs.

Introduction:
Preparation of materials prior to welding is just one task to perform in the shop.
The appropriate cutting equipment must be installed and properly used in order
to meet the cutting requirement.
The activity is focused on the set-up of cutting equipment and includes the
accurate mixture of gases applied to all cutting operations.

Pressure Regulator
All regulators do the same type of job. They all work in the same principle
whether they are of low or high pressure; single or multiple stages; cylinder,
manifold, line, type with the gas they regulate. The regulator which reduces
high pressure to lower working pressure must be held constant over a range of
flow rates and volumes.
Measures pressure gas that flows or is released from the torch body to the
nozzle or tip.
Gauges
Show the working pressure and the other indicates the magnitude of pressure
in the cylinder.
Regulators

There are varieties of inlet or cylinder fittings available to ensure that the
regulator cannot be connected to the wrong gas or pressure (see figure 4-8 A
and figure 4-8 B). A few adaptors are available that will allow some regulators to
be attached to a different type of fitting.

Oxy-acetylene cutting torch is the same as oxy-fuel cutting torch. The assembly
of torch vary in sizes for different types of work. There are small torches for
jewelry work, large torches in heavy plates and special torches for heating,
brazing and soldering. Some uses fuel-air mixture. There are no industrial
standards for tip size, tip threads, or seats. Each style, size, and type of torch
can be used only with tips made by the same manufacturer to fit-in the specific
tank.

Calibration of the Cutting Equipment
During the set-up and operation of the cutting equipment, there are several
observable things that might occur which need immediate attention. One of
these is the failure of the cutting unit to function well and requires adjustment
and correction. The student will be guided for some of the recommended
practices.

psi – pounds per square inch
The table shows the tip size, thickness of metal, work pressure and the speed.
For cutting, use larger size of tip with corresponding data as shown in the table
above. This information will support the succeeding activities in relation to
cutting of materials.

There is now a pressured gas through out the system. A mixture of soapy water
is applied to all regulators, the hose connection and other fittings to check its
appropriateness.
After checking, gas leaks may occur through the reaction of a soap solution, the
connection has to be tightened properly. If no more leaks are found, reopen the
torch valve.
Caution:
Leaking cylinder valve stem should not be repaired when gas pressure is
present. Turn off the valve, disconnect cylinder and mark or label the defective
unit.
“Cracking” is one way of blowing out any dirt lodged in the valve. The quick
release and the sudden closing of the valve should be done. This is applicable
for both oxygen and fuel gas.
Caution:
Force the valve of cylinders away from any source of ignition or any object or a
person that might be damaged or harmed by the flame when it is lit.
Check the assembled torch tip for a good seal, place your thumb over the end of
the tip, turn on oxygen valve, and spray the tip with a leak detecting selection.

Operation Sheet 2.1
TIP ENVELOPE
NEUTRAL CONE
TORCH BODY
Pre-heat flame is properly adjusted and as you have taken all the safety
measures, you are ready to do the actual cutting. You may see how fast cutting
goes, but drills and practices will build confidence.
Using the neutral pre-heat flame, heat the spot where you intend to start until
the flame turns cherry red. The pre-heat flame should be held just above the
metal surface so as to protect pre-heat holes against metal flow back from the
pure cutting oxygen. It is also to keep the torch end away from the heat
reflected by the metal surface.
18
The distance between the end of the pre-heat cones and the surface of the
material being cut is known as the coupling distance. When cutting plates up to
2-76 mm (3 inches) thick and with Mapp ® gas, the coupling distance must be
about 3-25mm (1/8”). For cutting, coupling distance should be increased to get
more heat from the secondary flame cones. Materials (plates) over 305mm thick
(12 inches) should cut using 19.9-31.8mm coupling distance.
Straight Cutting
The stinger is pure oxygen flow out of the center hole of the cutting tip.
19
Once the pre-heated spot is cherry red in color, the cutting oxygen lever should
be slowly depressed. This allows the pure cutting oxygen to attack the metal,
removing the metal by flame pressure and oxidation by allowing the cutting
oxygen to flow out slowly, the spot will not be cooled by the fresh oxygen stream.
Cooling could happen if a large gush of oxygen is blown on to the heated spot all
at once. The visible oxygen cutting stream coming from the center hole of the tip
when the cutting oxygen valve is opened is called the stinger.
Manual hand cutting of sheet cut starts with the torch drawn over the gloved
hand. The welder must be comfortable and be free to move the torch along the
line to be cut. It is a good idea for the welder to get into the position and
practice the cutting movements a few times before lighting the torch.
20
Profile of Flame-cut Plates
The physics of a cut, as the cut progresses along a plate, records of what is
happening during the cut which is preserved along both sides of the key. This
record indicates to the welder what is correct or incorrect with the pre-heat
flame cutting speed and oxygen pressure.
Bevel Cutting
When bevel cutting is required, the torch head must be inclined in the position
to the preheated metal along the top edge of the parts. This allows the metal to
form the required bevel angle. The tip should be kept high enough so that the
outlet holes are away from any splashing molten metals. Bevel cuts in the
production are usually done by a radiograph. This produces a more accurate
cut with less gas.

A cutting machine can make several complex cuts at one time. Automatic
torches are set the same for pre-heating as the manual torches. However, the
motor drives the automatic torch along the line of cut at the speed it could
easily regulated by a variable control mechanism.
When the starting point on the joint is cherry red, the cutting oxygen is engaged
for a continuous flow of oxygen. Then, the torch travel running mechanism is
moved at a speed necessary for a smooth key edge. The torch head on most
automatic cutting torches can be tilted to several angles for marking different
bevel cuts. Using these machines, many different and complex cuts are made
evenly.
Radius rods are also available for automatic cutting torches for circle cutting.
Multiple cutting heads are commonly used for automatic cutting machines,
especially where many pieces of the same shape are required.

Plasma is a gas that has been heated to a high temperature and converted
(ionized) so that the gas becomes electrically conductive. The plasma cutting
process uses this plasma to transfer an electric arc to the metal. The metal is
heated to the melting point by the heat of the arc and is blown away by air.
23
The plasma torch tip has several openings. These openings help operate the
torch. (A) Shows how air keeps the torch on each side of the metal cool and
keeps the hot metal from spattering. (B) Allows the air to enter when the arc
struck between the metal and the electrode is producing a pilot arc. When the
tip is brought close to gas, it produces a stiff constricted cutting arc. This
delivers a high concentration of heat to a very small area.

27
Information Sheet # 3.1
Introduction:
All welding consumables used in the welding production will be maintained and
controlled to remain, then supplies sound and acceptable. Handling of various
electrode types and different gasses used in welding fabrication and production
that requires critical post weld inspection needs special attention in performing
task, like how to prepare these consumables in order to produce quality and
acceptable welds. Electrodes are also selected correctly in accordance with
electrode specification and welding procedure requirements. Therefore, the
student/welder will have to develop their skills and knowledge on the
maintenance and control of all consumables, as well as, the correct choice of
using them.
Baking/Drying oven
Welding production and fabricators that usually accepts welding jobs are under
the weld code provisions. First and foremost is to come out with a standard plan
for electrode control and maintenance. Electrodes are kept in the stockroom for
quite sometime because of the influence of atmospheric conditions. These
electrodes have to pass to drying or baking process. All electrodes for baking will
be removed from a sealed plastic and will be placed inside the oven in a
classified manner (based on types and diameter size of the electrode) through
the oven shelves and marked accordingly. After loading, set the drying oven
temperature from 200 oC – 300 oC maintaining the temperature for a period of
two hours. Once the maximum of drying (2 hours) is reached shut-off the oven.
28
Holding oven
After drying, remove the electrodes from the oven and store them in the storing
oven with a maintained temperature of 150 oC plus/minus 20 oC. The electrode
must stay from the oven without reducing the temperature as per requirement.
The electrodes are maintained and controlled under the supervision of a
storekeeper, as he is responsible for the issuance of these electrodes to the
welders and fitters.
Portable oven
Normally welders perform welding activities in the shop. In cases where welding
should be done on a worksite, he should provide himself with a portable oven
sometimes called welder’s oven. The welder’s oven should be plug to a power
source. The temperature that should be maintained is 70 oC plus/minus 10 oC.
The unused electrodes shall be returned to the storing oven after the end of
day’s work.

E-6011 3.0 mm. 80 A – 110 A AC, DC +
E-6012 3.0 mm. 80 A – 110 A AC, DC -
Different types of electrodes, size, current, and power source are the
recommendable data for electrodes that can be the basis for selection. Only
four (4) types of electrodes are reflected in this information, but this will help
you understand their proper use and their existing specification. Further
studies and search of knowledge about electrodes, you will discover many
things about welding consumables.
30
The industrial gases must be stored in a separate storage room and must have
proper air ventilations. The place should be equipped with fire hazard signs and
also a unit of fire extinguisher to be installed in location near the series of filled
full tanks for accessibility. Cylinders must be provided with protection caps to
prevent the valves from being broken. Defective tanks, fitters and others must
be separated and marked defective.
Leaking fuel gas cylinders should be out of the building. Place the cylinders in
an open space and put a danger sign. Slowly release the pressure until the gas
is totally removed.

34
Information Sheet # 4.1
Introduction
Proper cleaning of metal surfaces and edges must be in mind before any fit-up
and tacking took placed. There must be an acceptable cleaning procedures
applied in the surface of the plates and pipes before welding joints. The cleaning
of surfaces and edges is considered one step for achieving quality on the
preparation of materials.
Below are acceptable practices in the preparation of surfaces and edges of the
materials.
Edge
A
Edge
B
Figure # 1
Illustration: Figure 1
Edge A need to grind smoothly and squarely so that no gaps appear on the fit-
up and the surface of the other plate to form Tee-joint. These two sides of the
plate are placed together and see to it that no gaps are found, then tightly
assemble. The contaminants that are found in the fit-up must be cleaned and
removed for welding safety.
35
Safety measures:
Before tacking, air tight fit-up must be checked so as to avoid air pockets in the
fitted edge or surface.
The drawing showing Fig. A and B plates are beveled cut. The gas cutting
results are not properly done, the surface is not smooth and with irregular line
cut caused by incorrect cutting. The surface must be smoothened with the use
of a grinder until such appearance is accepted. The surface of any dirt and
contaminants such as rust, oil, grease, water, scale and old paint must be
removed with appropriate tools and solution.
After root face is made and smoothened on the beveled surface, the two plates
are placed together facing each other with an approximate gap before tacking
may be done. This kind of preparation is applicable for plates and pipes for the
different types of materials. The root face must not exceed the maximum of
3mm thick from wall thickness of 6mm to 20 mm.

Information Sheet 1.1
Perform Tacking
Information Sheet
In carrying out some welding operation, very often the pieces have to
be tack welded. Tack welds are simply short sections of weld beads
measured ¼” to ½” long used to maintain the proper root opening between
the two sections of metals being welded (These tack welds are spaced along
the seam and must be firmly fused into the joints.)
TACK WELD

3mm GAP
Tack welded plates with 3mm gap
KINDS OF TACKING

3. Bridge Tacking is a method of tacking using stiffeners or backing
plate to keep both plates aligned.
Correct Electrode Angle and Speed of Travel. Upon tack welding, the
welder should maintain a stable/uniform speed on the portion of the
metal to be tacked weld together with proper travel angle and work angle.
Correct Current. The welder must consider the current setting in order
to have a good performance. If the current is set too high, the electrodes
melt too fast and the molten pool is large and irregular on the other
hand. If the current is set too low, there is no enough heat to melt the
base metal and the molten pool will be small. The result fill up will be
irregular in shape. More current is required for thick and heavy pieces
than for light thin sections.

INFORMATION SHEET 1.1
Alphabet of Lines
Lines are the bases of all drawing. They are used even from simple
drawing to the difficult ones. Practice, exercise and correct use of techniques
in the making of lines will give student experience in technical sketching.
Moreover, constant practice will help students develop skill in making lines
and use of pencils. It should be remembered that the basic requirement for
line construction is clarify of line produced.
In practice, the kind of line produced, depends on the hardness of the
pencil. For drawing using pencil, the medium and light lines are more
prepared.
There are conventional lines used in drawing. These lines are called
alphabet of line and each line serves a particular purpose. These lines may
either be drawn freehand or they may be drawn mechanically.
3
Visible lines are lines which are seen on the edge of an object. When
drawn using ink, the lines are heavy and solid; when a pencil is used the
line produced is medium. The thickness of the lines depends on the size
of the drawing.
Example:
Long break lines are lines which show that a line has been broken.
These lines have definite breaks and are medium in weight.
Example:
Short break lines are lines drawn with a heavy freehand line.
Example:
Hidden lines are also called, dotted lines. They are short medium weight
dashes measuring about 3-4 millimeter and gaps about 1-2 millimeters
wide. These kinds of lines are used to represent hidden views of an
object.
Example:
4
A leader line is a fine broken line. It has an arrowhead at one end. The
broken line has a short horizontal and an inclined line to indicate either
a part or measurement of an object.
Example:
Example:
Center lines are lines used to pinpoint centers of objects, arcs and
circles. They are drawn by using one long and one short dash
alternatively. The spaces between the dashes are like that of the hidden
lines.
Example:
Section line is lines used to show sectional views. The spaces are placed
evenly so that a shaded effect may achieve.
Example:
5
Dimension lines show the measurement of objects. It consists of
arrowheads, fine line and the measurement. The arrowheads are short
and are placed at both ends of the line. The measurement is placed at the
middle of the fine line.

INFORMATION SHEET 2.1
The term orthographic comes from the Greek words orthos and graphos
which mean to write and to draw. Orthographic sketching therefore is drawing
using lines only.
This kind of drawing is simple. Its purpose is to represent a shape using
two or more views.
Orthographic Drawing
The frontal plane shows the shape of an object as seen from the front.
This is called FV.
10
The horizontal plane shows the object as viewed from the top. This is
called the TV of an object.
The profile plane shows the shape of the object as seen from the side,
the distance from bottom to top and front to back. This is called the SV of
an object.
11
OPERATION SHEET 2.1
Orthographic Sketching
Procedure:
a. Know the dimensions of the object: the length, width and
thickness.
Study the proportions of the parts and that of the whole object.
b. Check on the kind of view you wish to use in the object. Be sure
that the main surfaces are represented. More importantly check on
the size of the views taking care that they are proportioned
properly.
c. Draw the object using light lines first to give easier time for
erasures. Later when the view drawn is acceptable, the lines will be
made darker.

INFORMATION SHEET 3.1
Welding Symbol
The symbol depicting an arrow side weld is always placed below the reference
line. The arrow side is always closest to the reader when viewed from the
bottom of the drawing. The weld symbol depicting other side weld is placed
above the reference line, away from the reader. Welds on both side of a joint are
shown by placing weld symbols on both sides of the reference line.
Dimensions: Dimensions of a weld are shown on the same side of the reference
line as the weld symbol. The size of the weld is shown to the left of the weld
symbol, and the length of the weld is placed on the right. If a length is not
given, the weld symbol applies to that portion of the joint between abrupt
changes in the direction of welding or between specified dimension lines. If a
weld symbol is shown on each side of the reference line, dimensions are
required to be given for each weld even though both welds are identical.
20
The term weld symbol and welding symbol have different meanings. A
weld symbol indicates the required type of weld. The welding symbol includes
the weld symbol and supplementary information. A complete welding symbol
consists of the following elements:
