PREPARE ELECTRICAL POWER TOOLS

COMMON ELECTRICAL POWER TOOLS

Tools are used to modify raw materials for human use. Tools can be considered
as extension of the human hand thereby increasing its speed, power and accuracy.

<(; ) jjms2021
Advantages of using the proper tools
1. Efficiency of the work is met.
2. High quality of work is achieved.
3. Speed of accomplishment is faster.
4. Accuracy is obtained.

However, these advantages depend upon the three factors, namely:

Different kinds of construction tools maybe classified according to the different kinds of

Portable Electric drill is a small drilling

machine with a chuck of ¼” and 3/8”. It is
used to bore holes on lighter metal work.

Safety Precautions in Using Portable Electric Drill

1. Wear safety glasses when operating the portable electric drill.
2. Disconnect the drill from the electrical supply when installing the bits.
3. Clamp stock so it will not move during the drilling operation.
4. Before drilling, turn the drill on to see if the bit is centered and at place.
5. Align the bit with the desired hole location before turning on the drill.
6. Hold the drill firmly with both hands while drilling.
7. When drilling deep holes with a twist drill, move the bit up and down several
times while drilling to remove cuttings and reduce overheating in the bit.
8. Do not allow the cord to wrap around the drill when working.
9. If the electrical cord becomes frayed or begins to separate from the drill housing,
repair it immediately.

<(; ) jjms2021
 10. Remove the bit from the drill as soon as the work is completed.
11. Select the correct bit for the finish and material being drilled. Make sure the bit
is securely tightened in the drill chuck.
12. Be extremely careful when using larger portable electric drills (3/8" and 1/2").
If the bit hangs or gets caught the drill will twist in the operator’s hands causing a
sprain or bruised fingers.
13. Always remove the key from the chuck before drilling.
14. To prevent seizing, reduce the feed pressure when the drill bit is about to come
through the material.

Procedure in using Portable Electric Drill

1. Always put the punch at the center or make a starting indentation in the material
being drilled to get an accurate starting point for the drill bit.
2. Tighten the drill bit by rotating the chuck key to all three holes in the chuck. This
will help you to keep the drill bit centered.
3. Use only straight shank or silver and deming drill bits in portable electric drills.
4. Apply moderate pressure to the drill during the drilling operation. If excessive
pressure is required to make the bit cut, it means that the bit needs to be
sharpened.
5. Maintain good balance at all times when drilling.
6. Use slow drill speeds for drilling metal and fast speeds for drilling wood.
7. To obtain holes that are placed accurately, drill a small pilot first then drill the
final hole.

Portable Grinder is a small drilling

machine used for several function
including grinding and cutting processes
depending on the type of disc fitted to the
machine.

Safety Precautions in Using the Portable Disc Grinder

1. Wear safety glasses, or face shield at all times when using the portable disc
grinder.
2. Wear hearing protection when grinding operating the portable disc grinder.
3. Position the grinder so that sparks and grits thrown during grinding will not hit
the operator or the others working in the area.

4. Make sure the material being ground is well secured.

5. Never grind with the portable disc grinder in an area with flammable materials
or combustible gases.
6. Replace the grinding disk when half its original diameter worns out.
7. Wear long sleeve leather gloves when grinding to protect hands and forearms
from injury.
8. Hold the portable disk grinder with both hands when grinding.
9. Never lay the portable disc grinder down until the disk stopped rotating.
10. Keep the electrical cords and extension cords out of the way work when
grinding.

<(; ) jjms2021
 11. When using the wire brush attachment on the portable disc grinder, hold the
grinder firmly to prevent it from being thrown away and from causing an accident.
12. Caution others in the work area to wear safety glasses, hearing protection and
to watch out for any thrown sparks and grits.

Procedure in using Portable Disc Grinder

1. Tighten the grinding disk snuggly when mounting it on the portable disc grinder.
The disk will tighten itself during normal operation.
2. Be sure to hold the portable disc grinder firmly when the switch is turned on. The
centrifugal force created by the rotating disk will cause the portable disc grinder to
move or jump.
3. For extended periods of grinding, the operator may lock the switch on position
to avoid fatigue from holding the switch on manually.
4. When an extension cord is used with the portable disc grinder, make sure that
the cord is sufficiently large in size for the grinder. A #14 gauge extension cord is
minimum and #12 gauge is preferred.
5. Keep the electrical and extension cords away from the grinding area. Cords can
be damaged by the portable disc grinder.
6. When laying the portable disc grinder down, always position it on the tool rest.
7. Before using the switch lock on the portable disc grinder always check to make
sure the lock is functioning properly.
8. Hold the portable disc grinder so that sparks and grit are thrown away from the
operator and from others who are working in the area.
9. Operating the portable disc grinder is a hard work and causes fatigue. Take rest
and don’t be exhausted.

Safety Precautions in Using Portable Power Threader

If spend your day operating a drill press thinking that your hand drill may not cause
any danger, think again. It is estimated that about 8% of industrial accidents involve the
unsafe use of hand tools (both manual and power). These accidents result from using the
wrong tool for the job, or using the right tool incorrectly, failing to wear personal protective
equipment, or failure to follow approved safety guidelines. The following checklist
provides some basic rules for the safe use of portable power tools. Take a moment to
review this list and use the tips here whenever you use a portable power tool.
