    PROPER USE OF

    TOOLS
    Proper Use of Hand Tools

    - Match each screw with the proper screwdriver
    - Turn the screwdriver clockwise to tighten the
    screw and counterclockwise to loosen the screw
    - Do not over-tighten screws with a screwdriver so
    it won’t become stripped.
    - Discard stripped screws.
    FLAT HEAD SCREWDRIVER
    - Use it with a slotted screw
    - Never use a screwdriver as a pry bar

    PHILLIPS HEAD SCREWDRIVER


    - Use it with a cross head screw
    - Do not use a screwdriver to puncture anything
    PART RETRIEVER, NEEDLE-NOSE PLIERS, OR TWEEZER

    - Do not scratch or hit any components when using
    these tools.

    HEX DRIVER
    - Use it to loosen and tighten bolts
    - Do not use a hex driver that is too large for the
    bolt that you are using.
    CAUTION:
    o Pencils should not be used inside the computer
    to change the setting of switches or to pry off
    jumpers.
    o The pencil lead can act as a conductor and
    may damage the computer components.
    PROPER USE OF CLEANING TOOLS

    COMPUTER CASES AND MONITORS

    - Clean it with a mild cleaning solution on a damp,


    lint-free cloth.

    - Mix 1 drop of dishwashing liquid with 4 ounces of

    - Do not spray any liquids inside the mouse.
    CAUTION:
    o Dirt can cause problems with the physical
    operation of fans, buttons, and other
    mechanical components.
    o On electrical components, an excessive
    buildup of dust will act like an insulator and trap
    the heat.
    PROPER USE OF ESD TOOLS

    o The purpose of an antistatic wrist strap is to equalize the


    electrical charge between you and the equipment.

    o Antistatic mat is slightly conductive. It works by drawing


    static electricity away from a component and transferring
    it safely from equipment to a grounding point.

    o Antistatic wrist strap is a conductor that connects your


    body to the equipment that you are working on.
