Lesson Information 3.1
Learning Objectives:
After Reading this module you must be able to explain how to handle safely
electrical power and hydraulic tools.
Safe Handling and Operating Principle of Power Tools
Power tools must be fitted with guards and safety switches; they are extremely
hazardous when used improperly.
To prevent hazards associated with the use of power tools, workers should observe
the following general precautions:
2.
3.
4.
5.
Never carry a tool by the cord or hose.
Never yank the cord or the hose to disconnect it from the receptacle.
Keep cords and hoses away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
Disconnect tools when not using them, before servicing and cleaning them,
and when changing accessories such as blades, bits, and cutters.
6. Keep all people not involved with the work at a safe distance from the work
area.
7. Secure work with clamps or a vise, freeing both and to operate the tool.
8. Avoid accidental starting.
9. Do not hold fingers on the switch button while carrying a plugged-in tool.
10. Maintain tools with care; keep them sharp and clean for best performance.
11. Follow instructions in the user’s manual for lubricating and changing
accessories.
12. Be sure to keep good footing and maintain good balance when operating
power tools.
13. Wear proper apparel for the task. Loose clothing, ties, or jewellery can
become caught in moving parts.
14. Remove all damaged portable electric tools from use and tag them: “Do Not
Use.”
28
Safe Handling and Operating Principle of Hydraulic Tools
15. Read and understand the entire owner's manual before attempting assembly
or operation.
16. Read and understand the warnings posted on the machine and in this manual.
Failure to all of these warnings may cause serious injury.
17. Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.
18. Hydraulic Tools are designed and intended only if you are not familiar with
the proper and safe operation of a pipe bender, do not use until proper training
and knowledge have been obtained.
19. Before operating Hydraulic Tools (Pipe Bender), remove tie, rings, watches
and other jewellery, and roll sleeves up past the elbows. Remove all loose
clothing and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid floor strips are
recommended. Do not wear gloves.
20. Do not operate Hydraulic tools while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or any medication.
21. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the machine, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform it is intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other
conditions that may affect it is operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced.
22. Provide for adequate space surrounding work area and non-glare, overhead
lighting.
23. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and
grease.
24. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep children away.
25. Give your work undivided attention .Looking around, carrying on a
conversation and “horse-play” are careless acts that can result in serious
injury.
26. Maintain a balanced stance and do not overreach or us excessive force to
perform any machine operation.

intervals are required. The machine name, type, and model should be
visible.
Maintain the proper level of lubrication reservoirs.
Suitable method of lubrication should be followed to minimize or prevent
metal – to – metal contact at all times.
Sufficient lubricant capacity is needed to prevent overheating and
thermal distortion of machine tool structures.
Adequate sealing should be properly observed. Install provision for
removal of contaminant collected by the lubricant (e.g., filters).

Liquid lubricant. A lanolin or natural water repellent lanolin is derived
from wool grease and a safe alternative of those common petro
chemical based lubricants. These lubricants are also preventive agents
against corrosion.
Water. It can also be used as a major component aside from other
based oils.
Vegetable oils. These are primarily derived from plants and animals.
47
Purpose of Lubricating:
Lubricating performs the following key functions:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Keeps movable part apart
Reduces friction
Transfers heat
Carries away contaminant and debris
Transmits power
Protects against wear
Prevents corrosion
BASIC LUBRICATION
The function of a lubricant is simple. It reduces friction between moving metal
surfaces. A lubricant coats surfaces and resists being displaced by the pressure
keeping the metal parts separated. Lubricants also prevent corrosion, block
contaminants and can serve as a coolant. A good lubricant flows easily under
pressure and remains in contact with moving surfaces. It does not leak out from
gravitational or centrifugal forces nor does it stiffen in cold temperatures.
There are several types of lubricants:
1.Oils cover a broad class of fluid lubricants which has particular physical
properties and characteristics. Petroleum oils (mineral oils) are made from
naphthenic or paraffinic oils. Naphthenic oils contain little wax and their low
pour point makes them good lubricants for most applications. Paraffinic oils,
on the other hand, are very waxy, which makes them useful for hydraulic
equipment and other machineries.
2.Ideal for lubricating bearings, gaskets, seals and other moving parts, greases
consist of an oil or synthetic fluid (~80%), a thickening agent (~10%) and
additives (~10%). The consistency of greases is usually ranked by their
relative hardness on a scale set by the National Lubricating Grease Institute
(NLGI). The softest greases are rated at 000 (which is a flowing liquid) with
higher numbers indicating harder grease. Most grease falls in the range
between 1 and 4.
3.Solid lubricants are usually fine powders, such as Molybdenum Disulfide
(Moly), graphite and Teflon® (PTFE). They can be used alone, or as
additives in grease or dispersions, or as dry film bonded lubricants.
Lubricating solids can last longer than unfortified oils and greases because
of their ability to form burnished films on surfaces.
48
4.Rust remover is used mainly to dissolve rust. It is also use
as an excellent cleaner. For example, to remove a rusted
bolt, spray remover directly on the bolt, wait for
approximately five minutes; and unscrew. For a bicycle
chain, apply the rust remover to clean the chain, and then
apply a thick lubricant (oil or PL-100). WD-40 and Release
All are two of the many brands of rust removers on the
market.
5.Dry lubricant is a product that, although greasy when applied, dries
in a few minutes and leaves a protective film. Since it dries rapidly,
it doesn't attract dust, so there is no mess. This is why it is
recommended to be used on rubber, car door gaskets, handsaws,
mitre saw, saw sliders, window sashes, etc. It can also be used on
balky wooden drawers, but cabinet makers usually prefer floor wax
because it is more durable. JIG-A-LOO is the common brand of a
dry lubricant.
a. Locksmiths also use a dry lubricant, graphite, to free stuck door
locks. This product, commonly found in stores, should be applied
sparingly into the keyhole, as it is very messy. Graphite lubricant is
composed of a fine black powder that no cleaner can remove, so it
is wise to protect the door when graphite is applied.
6.Penetrating lubricant. Its lubricating properties persist even
after having removed residues, as it penetrates into metal. It is
ideal for door hinges, even the fridge, hard to open pliers, ski
bindings, and as it does not hold dirt and dust. The PL-100 is
thick and very efficient.
Synthetic lubricants cover a broad category of oils, greases, and pastes of varied
properties. Synthetic lubricants are more inert, generate less waste, are capable of
a wider range of temperatures and have a longer life than petroleum materials. They
are even applicable to elastomers, seals and O-rings.
1. Synthetic oils are used to lubricate instrument bearings, hydraulics, air
compressors, gas and steam turbines, and other applications. They have
excellent viscosity-temperature characteristics, good resistance to oxidation
and an extremely wide operating temperature range.
2. Synthetic greases can last a lifetime, making them very cost-effective. They
are chemically inert, and their high thermal stability makes them useful for
aerospace, electrical, automotive and other high-tech or industrial
applications. Some of these lubricants keep their viscosity in temperatures
ranging as high as 550° F and are non-flammable up to 1,200° F.
49
Silicones are very stable and very inert lubricants, which provide a wider range of
operating temperatures than non-silicone synthetic lubricants. Other advantages
include water repulsion and electrical insulation. Flourosilicones have a higher
resistance to harsh environments and the ability to carry bearing loads.
Lubricant manufacturers can provide technical data sheets on their products to
advise you on the best applications of each type of lubricant.
Kinds, Uses, and Properties of Cleaning Solvents
Kinds of Cleaning Solvents
1. Solutions are homogeneous mixture of two or more components; can be
gaseous, liquid, or solid. When we speak of a solution, we usually think of a
solid dissolved in water. While water is the most common solvent, other liquids
are frequently employed as solvents for certain substances – for example wax
maybe dissolved in gasoline. The dissolved material in a solution is termed as
solute (e.g. wax) while the dissolving medium is called solvent (e.g. gasoline).
However, the term can be interchanged depending on which substance is of
greater amount.
2. Solvent is a component of a solution that dissolves solute and is usually
present in large proportion or amount. It can be classified as polar or nonpolar.
Polar solvents are solvents which dissolve or are soluble in water; while
nonpolar solvents are solvents which do not dissolve or are insoluble in water.
Solvents that are usually used for cleaning in automotive shops are water, gasoline,
kerosene, thinner and detergent soap.
The table below shows the kinds of cleaning solvent based on their solubility in
water.

Occupational Health and Safety
Practices in Handling Cleaning Solvents
Disregarding the basic precautionary measures could lead to eye injury and
cuts in using cleaning solvents. You should never use compressed air to clean your
clothes, hands or body. The pressure can cause the cleaning solvents and dirt
particles to penetrate your skin, resulting in infection and /or blood poisoning.
Do not use compressed air to clean an object immediately after it has been
removed from a hot cleaning tank. Rinse the cleaning solvents away with water. Do
not use carbon tetrachloride as a cleaning solution. The fumes, when inhaled can
cause serious internal injury and possibly result in death. When steam-cleaning,
place the object to be cleaned on a pallet and wear a face shield and rubber gloves
for protection against loose debris.
If a job or cleaning task requires the use of gloves, use the appropriate
gloves. If you have cut, nicked, or burned yourself, or something has got into your
eyes, report immediately to the first-aid person.
Keep all inflammable cleaning solvents in closed tin containers and
whenever possible, store them in a separate area.
5S (METHODOLOGY)
5S is a reference to a list of five Japanese words translated into English. It is
a method of organizing a workplace, especially shared workplaces (like a shop floor
or an office space, even in school). It is sometimes referred to as a housekeeping
methodology; however this characterization can be misleading because organizing
a workplace goes beyond housekeeping.
51
The key targets of 5S are workplace morale and efficiency. The assertion of
5S is, that time must not be wasted. Additionally, it is quickly obvious when
something is missing from its designated location. 5S advocates believe the benefits
of this methodology come from deciding what should be kept, where it should be
kept, and how it should be kept. This decision making process usually comes from
a concept of standardization which builds a clear understanding, among employees
how work should be done.
The 5S's stands for:
SEIRI: SORT (CLEAN UP)
This is the first in the 5S program:
"Sorting" means to sort everything in each work area. Keep only what is
necessary. Put in a separate storage area materials/tools that are not frequently
used and discard the ones that are no longer functional.
Sorting is the first step in making the work area tidy. It makes it easier to find
the things you need. In the sorting process, you can eliminate broken equipment
and tools. It frees up additional space when we discard the things that we no longer
need.
Obsolete fixtures, molds, jigs, scrap material, waste and other unused
items/materials are disposed.
SEITON: SET IN ORDER (ORGANIZE)
This is the second step in the Five S program: Step two is to organize, to arrange
or organize everything. Commonly used tools should be readily available. Storage
areas, cabinets and shelves should be properly labeled. Always keep the floor clean
and paint floors for you to make it easier to spot dirt, waste materials and scattered
parts and tools. Outline areas on the floor to identify work areas, movement lanes,
storage areas, finished product areas, etc. Put shadows on tool boards, making it
easy to be located.
In an office/school, there should be a designated area for bookshelves for frequently
used manuals, books and catalogs. Label the shelves and books so that they can
be easily found.
The objective of this step is to put everything in the workplace and properly identified
and labeled.
This means that there are two important parts to systematic organization. The first
part is putting everything in its proper place and setting up a system so that it is
easy to return each item to its proper place. The second part is where good labeling
and identification practices are important. Both the equipment/tools and materials
you use, as well as their proper storage locations, need to be clearly identified and
labeled.
52
SEISŌ: SWEEP (REGULAR CLEANING)
Step Three: requires you to do regular cleaning. Once you have everything from
each individual work area up to your entire facility sorted (cleaned up) and
organized, you need to keep it that condition. This requires regular cleaning or to
go along with our third S, "shining" things up.
Regular, usually daily cleaning is needed or everything will be returned to their
original places. This can be done by regular inspection. While cleaning its needed
also to inspect the machines, tools, equipment and supplies you work with.
Regular cleaning and inspection makes it easy to spot lubricant leaks,
equipment misalignment, breakage, missing tools and low levels of supplies. If
these minor problems are not addressed they can lead to a serious loss in
production.
SEIKETSU: STANDARDIZE (SIMPLIFY)
Step Four: is to simplify and standardize our actions so that it will be a habit in
our routine.
The good practices developed in steps 1 through 3 should be standardized
and made easy to accomplish. Develop a work structure that will support the new
practices and make them into habits. As you learn more, update and modify the
standards to make the process simpler and easier.
One of the hardest steps is avoiding old work habits. It is easy to slip back into
what you have been doing for years. It gives comfort most of the time for this is
part of your habit. Use standards to help people work into new habits that are a
part of your Five S program.
Use labels, signages and banners in the workplace to make people aware of
the standards being observed.
SHITSUKE: SUSTAIN
Step Five: The final step is to continue training and maintaining the standards.
Have a formal system for monitoring the results of your 5S program. Constant
monitoring is crucial at this stage.
Continue to educate people about maintaining standards. When there are
changes - such as new equipment, new products, new work rules - that will effect
your Five S program, make the necessary adjustments to accommodate those
changes. Make needed changes in the standards and provide training that
addresses those changes.
Translations and modifications
Often in the west, alternative terms are used for the five S. These are "Sort,
Straighten, Shine, Systemize and Sustain". "Standardize" is used as an alternative
for "Systemize". Sometimes "Safety" is included as 6th S.
1. Clear out and Classify
i. Clearing items no longer required
ii. Tagging items that may be required and storing away from
workplace
53
2. Configure
i. A specific place for specific items
ii. “ A place for everything and everything in its place”
3. Clean and check
i. Identify the cleaning zones and establishing cleaning routines
4. Conformity
5. Custom and practice
i. Monitoring process adherence
ii. Continually validating process
iii. Customer satisfaction by doing scientific training to workers
iv. Continually focus on man, machine, material and method
Alternative acronyms have also been introduced, such as CANDO
(Cleanup, Arranging, Neatness, Discipline, and Ongoing improvement). Even
though he refers to the ensemble practice as "5S" in his canonical work, Hirano
prefers the terms Organization, Orderliness, Cleanliness, Standardized Cleanup,
and Discipline because they are better translations than the alliterative
approximations.
Practice Good Housekeeping
Good housekeeping is one of the surest ways to identify a safe workplace.
You can tell how workers feel about safety just by looking at their housekeeping
practices. Good housekeeping is not the result of cleaning up once a week or
even once a day. It is the result of keeping cleaned-up all the time. It is an essential
factor in a good safety program, promoting safety, health, production, and morale.
Whose responsibility is housekeeping? It is everyone's. Clean work areas
and aisles help eliminate tripping hazards. Respecting "wet floor" signs and
immediately cleaning up spills prevents slipping injuries. Keeping storage areas
uncluttered reduces the chances of disease and fire as well as slips, trips, and
falls. Accumulated debris can cause fires and clutter slows movement of
personnel and equipment during fires.
Other housekeeping practices include keeping tools and equipment clean
and in good shape or keeping hoses and cables or wires bundled when not in use.
Broken glass should be picked up immediately with a broom and dustpan, and
never with bare hands. Be aware of open cabinet drawers, electric wires, sharp
corners or protruding nails. Unsafe condition should be addressed immediately.
How a workplace looks makes an impression of employee’s behavior at
work. A visitor's first impression of a business is important because that image
affects the amount of business it does. Good housekeeping goes hand-in-hand
with good public relations. It projects order, care, and pride.
54
Besides preventing accidents and injuries, good housekeeping saves
space, time, and materials. When a workplace is clean, orderly, and free of
obstruction; work can get done safely and properly. Workers feel better, think
better, do better work, and increase the quantity and quality of their work.
