Introductory Message

For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Electrical Installation and Maintenance Grade 9 Self-

Learning Module on Operating Principle and Safe Handling!

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,

LESSON

OPERATING PRINCIPLE AND SAFE HANDLING

Power Tools are developed and constructed for a special purpose such as to:

1. modify raw materials for human use;

There for electric tools must handle safely.

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES

This standard operating procedure (SOP) is provided to control and avoided
the potential hazard in handling of electric power tools and hydraulic tools such as
entanglement into rotating moving parts, flying debris or dust, crush or pinch
points, eye or hand injuries, high noise level, sharp edges, burns, and electric
shock also never distracting the operator and do not remove or modified the safety
features of power tools because it may lead to a bigger problem or disaster.
