What is It
What is planning?
Planning, as defined within the dictionary, is an act of formulating a
selected system for a particular course of action. It's a very essential part of
whatever task there is that should be undertaken because it aids one in
preparing for the tools/ materials to be used, lets one project the possible
scenarios that may arise (such as loose or damage to the tools).
This lesson aims to talk about the proper steps in planning and
preparing for the certain tasks to be undertaken.
Planning is a process of preparing for change and development and for
deciding how to best manage or influence those changes. Planning is also
directed at resolving specific problem issues or conflicts.

A GUIDE TO PLAN PREPARATION

The Policy background to Plan Preparation

Assessment- Students must be reminded of internal and external risk factors

and the consequences of any damage/ failure on their hand tools.

Prevention- The student should identify which hand tools is damaged.

Preparation of plans- A plan must be realistic, flexible, and meet all the
assessed needs of a student at the same time the hand tools itself and the likely
needs of recipients of the emergency response.
Education- Anyone involved to any extent in an emergency plan should be
aware of his role and be given the chance to practice actually doing it.

Testing / Exercising- Any plan must be tested to make sure that it

encompasses all the outcomes of known or reasonably foreseeable risks which
will be effective in providing a sufficient and timely response.

Review- There are variety of circumstances in which a plan must be reviewed.

Following any test of a plan, or its use in an emergency, it is important to check
whether the planned response was fully effective.

Response- The students should answer incidents as part of their core activities.
Others may only very occasionally be asked to give an emergency response.

Safety and Risk

An emergency does spare teachers and students from their responsibilities,

for their health and safety. All emergency plans should therefore consider of the
need to maintain the highest possible standards of safety.

TIME SCHEDULING SUGGESTIONS

 Time scheduling does not guarantee that you will become an efficient
person. Only few people can carefully do a detailed schedule day after day over
a long period of time. In reality, many students who prepare a study schedule
and find themselves unable to fulfill it become impatient and often disregard the
scheduling idea completely.

The following method of organizing time has been helpful to many students
and does not take much time. It is more flexible than many methods and helps
the student to establish long term, intermediate, and short term time goals.

Intermediate Schedule - One per week

CARRY THIS CARD WITH YOU and cross out each item as you accomplish it.
Writing down things in this manner not only forces you to plan your time but in
effect causes you to make a promise to yourself to do what you have written
down.

Before you are doing any repair work on your PC—in fact, before you even
consider taking off the cover of your computer, we recommend that you provide
yourself with a computer tool kit. In computer application, it is important to use
hand tools and equipment properly. A good troubleshooter must be
knowledgeable in identifying and using the tools and equipment.
 What’s In
Direction: Give at least three (3) basic safety rules for the use of
hand tools. Write your answers on your notebook.

What is It

To complete hardware repairs, it is important to have a toolkit that

contains all the necessary tools. As you gain experience, you will learn which
tools to be used for different types of jobs. Hardware tools are classified
according to the following:

∙ Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) tools

∙ Hand Tools
∙ Cleaning Tools
∙ Diagnostic Tools

Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) Tools

Static electricity is easily generated by friction on carpets, tile flooring,

clothing, hair, fabric, etc. The friction of moving air alone will charge suspended
particles and cause the build-up of static electrical charges on people and objects
in the environment. Grounded antistatic work mats used with antistatic wrist
straps provide the most basic means for the controlled discharge of electrostatic
electricity.
Examples of ESD Tools:
Anti-static wrist strap –
Used to prevent ESD damage
to computer equipment.

(Mueller, 2021)

Anti-static Mat – Used to stand

on or place hardware on to
prevent static electricity from
building up.

(Toniperis,2013)

Hand Tools

A hand tool is a device for performing work on a material or a physical

system using only hands. Hand tools sayo be used manually or electrically
powered, using electrical current. Examples of Hand Tools are as follows:
Examples of Hand Tools:
 Flat Head Screwdriver – Used
to loosen or tighten slotted
screws.

Hex Driver – Sometimes called

a nut driver, is used to tighten
nuts in the same way that a
screwdriver tightens screws.

(Ride r, 2010)

Needle-Nose Pliers – Used to

hold small parts.

(PPD, 2017)

Philips Head Screwdriver –

Used to loosen or tighten
crosshead screws
(J. C. Fields, 2014)

Torx Screwdriver - Used to

loosen or tighten screws that
have a star like depression on
the top, a feature that is mainly
found on laptop

Wire Cutter – Used to strip and

cut wires.

)
 Tweezers – Used to manipulate
small parts.

Part Retriever – Used to

retrieve parts from location that
is too small for your hand to fit.

Flashlight- a small electric
light, a flash of electric light
used to give light in dark
conditions.

Magnifying glass- a device

made in glass with handle, to
exaggerate or to increase the
apparent size of an object.

Paint Brush- a device made of

bristles set in handle, use for
cleaning sensitive parts of a
computer.
Soldering pencil- a tool used to
join two or more metal
conductors with the support of
soldering lead melted around it.

Desoldering Tool – a tool used

to unsolder unwanted parts or
component in the circuit with the
support of soldering pencil.
 Crimping tool - is a device
used to conjoin two pieces of
metal by deforming one or both
in a way that causes them to
hold each other.

Cleaning Tools

Appropriate cleaning tools are important in maintaining or repairing

computers. Using these tools helps avoid computer components from damage
during cleaning.

Examples of Cleaning Tools:
Lint-free Cloth – Used to clean
different computer components
without scratching or leaving
debris.

(Ales, 2014)

Compressed Air – Used to blow

away dust and debris from
different computer parts without
touching the components.

Diagnostic Tools

Computers are easier to use and more dependable with each new generation of
hardware and operating system update, but that does not mean they are problem
free. Here are the most popular tools for diagnosing your computer problems:
Examples of Diagnostic Tools:
Multimeter (Analog/Digital) –
Used to test the integrity of
circuits and the quality of
electricity in computer
components.

PROPER USE OF ESD TOOLS

Proper Use of Antistatic Wrist Strap

1. Connect the cable to the metal chassis of the computer.

2. Wrap the strap around your wrist.
3. The connection will keep your body at the same voltage (potential) as
the computer.
4. Attach the wire on the same side of the equipment as the arm wearing
the antistatic wrist strap to keep the wire out of the way while you are
working.

CAUTION: Never wear an antistatic wrist strap if you are repairing a monitor
or CRT.

Proper Use of Antistatic Mat

 1. Lay the computer on the mat.
2. Connect the computer to the mat with the cable.
3. Connect the mat to a reliable electrical ground with its
cable. 4. Now, you and the computer are at ground potential

Proper Use of Hand Tools

1. Use the proper type and size of screwdriver by matching it to the

screw. 2. Do not over tighten screws because the threads may become
stripped.

UNSAFE OR FAULTY TOOLS

Hand Tools include various kinds of non-powered devices such as

wrenches, pliers, hammers, and screwdrivers. These tools may seem harmless,
but they are the cause of many injuries. The Following are the summary of safety
practices related to hand tools.

General hazards:

∙ Misuse and incorrect maintenance are the two most common dangers linked
with the usage of Hand Tools.

11 NegOr_Q3_CSS9_Module1-2_V2
∙ Misuse happens when a hand tool is utilized for a purpose other than that for
which it was designed. (Using a screwdriver as a chisel, for example, could
result in the tip breaking and striking someone.)
∙ Improper maintenance causes hand tools to degrade and become
dangerous. (An example would be cracked hardwood handles, which allow
the tool head to fly off, or mushroomed heads, which can shatter when
struck.)
∙ Hazardous conditions may need the use of specially developed tools. (In the
presence of flammable gases and dusts, always use spark-proof
instruments; for electrical work, use insulated tools with appropriate
ratings.)

Personal Protective Equipment:

∙ The type of PPE required when utilizing tools is determined by the tank's
nature.
∙ Using hand protection to guard against cuts, abrasion, and repeated impact
may also be beneficial.

Do’s and Don’ts in Using Hand Tools

Pliers:

∙ Do not lengthen the pliers' handles to gain additional leverage. Use a set of
pliers or bolt cutters that are larger.
 ∙ When rotating bolts and nuts, don't use pliers instead of a wrench. Pliers will
slip if they can't get a good grasp on these items.
∙ Never use a plier’s handle as a hammer. Cracks or breakage are likely to
occur because of such mistreatment.
∙ Cut hardened wire only with pliers designed for that purpose. ∙ Always cut
at a 90-degree angle. Never rock the wire back and forth against the cutting
edges or bend it back and forth.

Screwdrivers:

∙ Never use screwdrivers as a pry bar, chisel, and punch stirrer or

scraper. ∙ Always use screwdriver tip that properly fits the slot of the
screw. ∙ Throw away screwdrivers with broken or worn handles.
∙ Use magnetic or screw-holding screwdrivers to start fasteners in tight areas.
∙ Never use pliers on a screwdriver for extra leverage. Only use wrench or
screwdrivers specifically designed to accept them.

Utility Knives/ Blades:

∙ Always use a razor-sharp blade. Blades that are dull demand more force and
are thus more likely to slip. When the blade begins to "tear" instead of
cutting, it should be replaced.
∙ Never leave a knife with the blade exposed unattended. Use a self-retracting
knife with a spring-loaded black blade. (When you let go of the knife, the
blade will retract.)
∙ Keep your free hand away from the line of the cut.
∙ When using blades to open cans or pay loose things, do not bend, or apply
side loads to them. Blades are brittle and readily break.
