Introductory Message

For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the TLE-Electrical Installation and Maintenance 10 on Electrical

Tools

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

LESSON

Every electrician should have adequate tools, instruments and equipment so he

can work efficiently obtain better results and save time and effort. He has to
maintain proper care of this tools and instruments to ensure their good condition.

Proper care of Tools and Maintenance

Make it a habit to clean tools after each use before you return them to storage.
Wipe them down with a rag or old towel and be sure they are free of dust, grease
and debris before you put them into their proper places. This is also an opportunity
to look for any damage or defects.
Preventive maintenance is the systematic care and protection of tools, equipment,
machines, and vehicles in order to keep them in a safe, usable condition, that
limits downtime and extends productivity
The most simple and effective way to clean hand tools is to wipe them with
a clean piece of cloth at the end of the job. Don't be afraid to wash them. If the
hand tools are too dirty, wash them with soapy water to wipe away the grime.
Remember to dry these tools to avoid rusting and corrosion.
Useful quality tools can be a significant investment, but they will last longer and
return the favor if you take good care of them. Making sure your devices are
properly stored, cleaned, and well maintained will save you time and money, as
well as making your projects and jobs much more comfortable.
Here's some tips and tricks to take better care of your tools.

3. Performance when there is something wrong with the performance of either
hand tools or equipment they need an intermediate repair or maintenance
4. Power supply for electrically operated only failure to meet the requirements
power supply malfunction will occurs in the part of hand tools or equipment.
