What is It
Proper Tool Selection
Once selected, use the tool for the purpose for which it was designed. Not all
tools come with detailed instructions, but there are those that do spell out the safety
―Do’s and Don’ts for your safety. If there are set-up/use options, operator judgment
must always be based on what is the safest way to use the tool.

workbench or on the floor where it will become a safety hazard. Keep your work
area tidy. This will help you work more efficiently and safely.
HARDWARE TOOLS
6
Hand Tools
7
Tweezers – used to manipulate small parts.
Cleaning Tools
8
Lint-free cloth – used to clean different computer
components without scratching or leaving debris.
Paint brush- its long and soft natural bristles can be used
to dust off the surface of circuit boards and its hard-
toreach areas
9
Diagnostic Tools
Computers are easier to use and more dependable with each new generation
of hardware and operating system update, but that doesn't mean they're problemfree.
Diagnostic tools are used to test the integrity of circuits and functionality of ports.

PROPER USE OF TOOLS
Flat head screwdriver Use a flat head screwdriver when you are working with
a slotted screw. Do not use a flat head screwdriver to remove a Phillips head screw.
11
Never use a screwdriver as a pry bar. If you cannot remove a component, check to
see if there is a clip or latch that is securing the component in place.
CAUTION: If excessive force is needed to remove or add a component, something is
probably wrong. Take a second look to make sure that you have not missed a screw
or a locking clip that is holding the component in place. Refer to the device manual
or diagram for additional information.
Phillips head screwdriver Use a Phillips head screwdriver with crosshead
screws. Do not use this type of screwdriver to puncture anything. This will damage
the head of the screwdriver.
Hex driver Use a hex driver to loosen and tighten bolts that have a hexagonal (six-
sided) head. Hex bolts should not be over-tightened because the threads of the bolts
can be stripped. Do not use a hex driver that is too large for the bolt that you are
using.
CAUTION: Pencils should not be used inside the computer to change the setting of
switches or to pry off jumpers. The pencil lead can act as a conductor and may
damage the computer components.
CAUTION: When compressed air is used to clean inside the computer, the air should
be blown around the components with a minimum distance of four inches from the
nozzle. The power supply and the fan should be cleaned from the back of the case.
CAUTION: Before cleaning any device, turn it off and unplug the device from the
power source.
12
Computer Cases and Monitors Clean computer cases and the outside of
monitors with a mild cleaning solution on a damp, lint-free cloth. Mix one drop of
dishwashing liquid with four ounces of water to create the cleaning solution. If any
water drips inside the case, allow enough time for the liquid to dry before powering
on the computer.
LCD Screens Do not use ammoniated glass cleaners or any other solution on
an LCD screen, unless the cleaner is specifically designed for the purpose. Harsh
chemicals will damage the coating on the screen. There is no glass protecting these
screens, so be gentle when cleaning them and do not press firmly on the screen.
CRT Screens to clean the screens of CRT monitors, dampen a soft, clean,
lintfree cloth with distilled water and wipe the screen from top to bottom. Then use
a soft, dry cloth to wipe the screen and remove any streaking after you have cleaned
the monitor.
Clean dusty components with a can of compressed air. Compressed air does
not cause electrostatic buildup on components. Make sure that you are in a
wellventilated area before blowing the dust out of the computer. A best practice is to
wear a dust mask to make sure that you do not breathe in the dust particles.
Blow out the dust using short bursts from the can. Never tip the can or use
the compressed air can upside down. Do not allow the fan blades to spin from the
force of the compressed air. Hold the fan in place. Fan motors can be ruined from
spinning when the motor is not turned on.
Mouse Use glass cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the outside of the mouse.
Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mouse. If cleaning a ball mouse, you can
remove the ball and clean it with glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Wipe the rollers clean
inside the mouse with the same cloth. Do not spray any liquids inside the mouse.
