PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Learning Competency with code:

Performing Basic Preventive Maintenance
Learning Context
Importance of Repair
Repair plays an important role in reinforcing your home and workplace. Maintaining your tools and
equipment can be a big help in the preparation of the repair and maintenance process. That is why,
regular inspection of tools and equipment can help you become prepared when unnecessary damage
happen in your home and workplace.
To know if you have the idea on how to repair, I want you to get ready on the next activity.
Are you ready now? In this activity, this will measure your prior learning if you have already an idea on
how to repair defective tools.
Repair Defective Tools
Defective tools can cause serious and harmful injuries. If a tool is defective in some way, do
not use it. If tools and equipment are defective, attach an Out of Service tag with signature and date.
Upon proof of repairs (a receipt), the tag will be removed and attached to the invoice for continuous
monitoring of repairs dates completed.
Watch for problems such as chisels and wedges with mushroomed heads, split or cracked
handles, chipped or broken drill bits, wrenches with worn out jaws, and tools that is not complete, such
as files without handles.
To ensure safe use of hand tools, do not use a defective tool. Inspect tools prior to use and
verify that tools are repaired. The important things to remember are Air, Gas or Electric Power Tools.
Watch for problems such as broken or inoperative guards, insufficient or improper grounding due to
damage on double insulated tools, no ground wire (on plug) or cords of standard tools, the on / off
switch not in good working order, tool blade is cracked, the wrong grinder wheel is being used, and the
guard has been wedged back on a power saw.
Conduct Preventive Maintenance of Carpentry Tools
A preventive maintenance is a routine maintenance process on a piece of equipment to lessen

the likelihood of a sudden breakdown. A Preventive Maintenance Plan is critical in any maintenance
management program to avoid unplanned downtime and to increase productivity.
It requires planning and scheduling of maintenance on an asset before an actual breakdown.
Correspondingly, it can be a big help to identify data from previous inspection and maintenance
reports.
There are three types of Maintenance:
1. Breakdown Maintenance: It is holding up until the equipment fails before repairing or servicing it.
2. Preventive Maintenance (PM): • Time-based or run-based. This includes occasional inspection,
servicing, cleaning, or replacing parts to prevent unexpected failure. • Predictive. This includes on-line
monitoring of equipment in order to use important/expensive parts to the limit of their serviceable life
3. Corrective or Predictive Maintenance: Improving equipment and gear and its components so that
preventive maintenance can be completely reliable.
Here are some steps in conducting Basic Preventive Maintenance
Generally cleaning, lubricating, and storing properly are basic preventive maintenance in tools and
equipment. Below are some of the suggestions
A. Hand tools
1. Clean dirt and debris from tools after each use.

2. Oil metal parts to prevent rust.
3. Lightly sand rough wooden handles and apply linseed oil.
4. Repair loose handles.
5. Sharpen blades of cutting tools.
6. Store tools in a clean dry storage area.
7. Protect surfaces of cutting tools in storage.
B. Electric Powered Tools and Equipment

1. Clean out the dust. To make sure that your electric tools are ready to go when you are, keep them
clean and free of dust. Spend some time to clean out the dust every once in a while, on your tools while
they are inactive in storage.
2. Check the cords. Look for tear/cut insulators on the power cords on your electric tools. This will
ensure that your electric tool can get the power that it needs to function without an accident and avoid
electrocution.
3. Use the right tool correctly. Use tools correctly and for their intended purposes. Follow the safety
directions and operating procedures recommended by the manufacturer. When working on a circuit,
use approved tools with insulated handles.
4. Protect your tools. Keep tools and cords away from heat, oil, and sharp objects. These hazards can
damage insulation. If a tool or cord heats up, stop using it. Report the condition to your teacher or an
expert immediately.
5. Use double-insulated tools. Portable electrical tools are classified by the number of insulation
barriers between the electrical conductors in the tool and the worker.
6. Storing Your Tools. Keep your electric tools stored in their original cases and containers. This will
keep them free of dust and dirt while they are not being used.
7. Lubricate moving parts. Using lubricant helps maximize the life of tools and equipment and make the
work more efficient.
8. Follow the maintenance schedule. Following the maintenance schedule gives the care it needs and
lengthens its lifespan.
Repair of Defective Carpentry Tools
Any carpentry tool has the potential for being unsafe if it is defective or poorly manufactured;
this doesn’t just apply to power tools used in carpentry such as table saws and drills, it can also be
applied to simple hand-held tools, such as hammers, pile, or screwdrivers, as well. Depending on their
industry, workers may also use very sophisticated, computerized machinery that must not only be
manufactured to exacting specifications but which also has to be well maintained throughout the life
cycle of the tool or machine. When workers use tools in the workplace, it shouldn’t be too much to
expect that they have been manufactured to be safe when used as instructed and that they will operate
as the manufacturer intends. And yet, when it comes to workplace accidents, defective tools and
defective machinery are among the leading causes of serious injuries and fatalities. Among some of
the most common defects in carpentry tools include damaged or poorly manufactured power tools,
power tools without the fluid necessary to run them, missing safety guards, attachments that do not
connect to the tools securely, and many more.
These are some steps in repairing of defective carpentry tools:

A. Hand Tools
1. Inspect hand tools for damage checking.

2. Identify parts that are damaged. Based on the severity of the damage, decide if it’s for repair or
replacement.
3. Check for loose parts. Loose parts should be tightened.
4. Dull or blunt edges should be sharpened or replaced.
5. Remember that if the damage is beyond repair, it should be replaced.
B. Electric Powered Tools and Equipment

1. Inspect parts such as electric cords and connections of electric-powered tools for damage checking.
2. Identify parts that are damaged. Based on the severity of the damage, decide if it’s for repair,
replacement, or disposal.
