Tools and Equipment Maintenance

Learning Competency: Maintain hand tools

Concept/Short Input:
After preparing and how to use properly the hand tools in computer
hardware servicing, now you are going to maintain the proper storage of
tools, parts, and equipment used to repair computer sets. Prioritizing and
keeping tools clean, well-maintained, and stored properly, will keep your
tools in good shape and will save time and money.
Tool and Equipment Maintenance
Preventive maintenance is the systematic care and protection of tools and
equipment to keep them safe, usable condition that limits downtime and
extends productivity. Be aware that maintenance tasks are potentially
hazardous and can result to injury. A successful maintenance program is:
● well organized and scheduled
● controls hazards
● defines operational procedures,
and
● trains key personnel.

Pegboards make a great storage system for tools. They let you see all your
tools at a glance and they can make use of wall space in a pretty efficient
way. If you don't have enough wall space, though, you can still take
advantage of pegboards by building a hinged system, a rolling pegboard, or
even a portable pegboard storage system.

General Requirements for Tools and

Equipment Maintenance Include:
 Obtaining a copy of the maintenance schedule recommended by the
manufacturer
 Ensuring that maintenance is performed as required
 Ensuring that the person(s) performing the maintenance are
competent (example: licensed mechanic)
 Retaining records of maintenance, service conducted
 Specifying who is responsible for overseeing equipment maintenance
and where the records are kept
 Set up a system for removal and tagging of damaged or defective tools
and equipment
Proper Storage of Tools, Parts, and Equipment
To ensure tools and equipment remain in good condition and last for a long
time, store them properly. Good practices include:
 Parts should be stored and labeled
 Tools should be properly placed on the board and labeled
 Use bins for storing small parts
 Consider making an individual responsible for good maintenance of
tools and parts
Benefits:
 Tools and parts are kept in good condition and are easy to find
 Costs are reduced
 Productivity is increased because time is not wasted looking for tools,
parts, and equipment
