Hand Tools
In using hand tools, it is necessary to know the proper way of preparing, handling and
maintaining each tool. Below are some tips when using hand tools:
Use good quality hand tools.
Maintain hand tools carefully. Keep them clean and dry, and store them
In contrast here are some tips to avoid when using hand tools:
Do not use hand tools for jobs they are not intended to do. For example, do not
use a slot screwdriver as a chisel, pry bar, wedge or punch, or wrenches as
hammers.
Do not FORCE screws; make sure that the correct screw for the job is being
used.
Do not wear bulky gloves to operate hand tools.
Do not throw tools. Hand them, handle first, directly to other workers.
Do not leave tools lying around on elevated structures such as a platform or
scaffold as they may be bumped and fall.
Cleaning Tools
You may need to clean your computer from once a month to once a year depending on
the location and who is using the computer. Below are tips for cleaning your computer
as well as to keep your computer clean as possible.
Do not vacuum any parts inside the computer. You not only vacuum up loose
parts, but the vacuum cleaner could initiate static electricity which can harm the
computer.
Make sure to disconnect cables and wires from the back of the computer. If it’s
necessary, pay close attention to where the cables go.
While cleaning or dusting fans, be sure to hold the fans to keep the blades from
moving. Consider using compressed air to clean the fan.
Diagnostic Tools
Equipment that either generates heat or has moving parts tends to fail most often. You
can scan your system and spot failing hardware before everything crashes using
computer hardware tests. The parts that most commonly break are fans, hard disk
drives, CPUs, and even RAM also tends to fail too. Always perform regular hardware

and cards by the edges, or extract them using an ESD-compliant pair of pliers
Never place components on any metal surface. Metal surfaces can hold a static
charge that will damage sensitive electronic parts. Use anti-static or foam
rubber mats.
Do not touch anyone who is working on ICs. If you touch someone who is
properly grounded, your “zap,” or body charge, might cause damage. Always
Use static-shielding storage bags for boards and ICs. Before you leave your
bag.
Don’t wear polyester clothing or bring plastic, vinyl, or Styrofoam into the work
