 Module
Check Condition of Tools and Equipment
6
Introduction

All machinery and other industrial tools should be regularly maintained to

ensure longevity. At the same time, regular care and maintenance will guarantee
that the equipment will function properly every time.

You can opt for welding equipment hire services so you won’t worry too
much about maintaining your own equipment. Nevertheless, welding tools can be
worth thousands of dollars when bought. More so, replacement parts can be hard
to find.

These are only some of the major reasons why you or a welding equipment
rental supplier should take extra care of these tools. However, welding equipment’s
maintenance needs may depend on the welder type. It is important to stick to your
regular schedule on maintenance to ensure its optimum performance at all times.

 What is It

CHECK CONDITION OF TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT

Performance Standard:
Make an inventory of functional and non-functional tools in your shop.

Functional and Non-Functional Hand Tools

Tools are very useful to us in our homes especially to our job. But tools that are
no longer functional may cause harm.

Methods of Identifying Functional and Non-Functional Tools and

Equipment

1. Visual inspection
It refers to the visual observation of an expert on the appearance of the tools
and equipment. The physical appearance of tools will describe such
characteristics as dullness, sharpness, dismantled parts, and uneven teeth of
the cutting tools.
2. Functionality
Vibration or extra noise from the operation means problem on parts and accessories
started to develop. 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.

7
 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. When there is something
wrong with the performance of either hand tools or equipment, they need an immediate
repair or maintenance.
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. Power Supply (for electrically operated only)
Failure to meet the required power supply, malfunction will occur in
the part of hand tools or equipment.
6. Person’s involved
It refers to the technical person who has the knowledge and skills
about the technology.
