Arrange the scrambled letters to form a word below by understanding the given
meaning of the correct term. Write your answer in your activity notebook.

electrostatic electricity.

NIEACLNG OOLTS
____________________ These tools ensure that computers stay tidy and dirt-free.

What is It
Once selected, use the tool for the purpose for which it was designed. Not all
tools come with detailed instructions, but there are those that do spell out the
safety ―Do’s and Don’ts for your safety. If there are set-up/use options, operator
judgment must always be based on what is the safest way to use the tool.
HARDWARE TOOLS
Hex driver – sometimes called a nut driver, is used to tighten nuts in the same
way that a screwdriver tightens screws.
Flashlight or Headlight – used to light up areas that you cannot see well.
Crimping tool- used to connect wires into the metal components of a computer; it
is designed to connect or attach a connector at the end of a cable to be able to link
or connect to a network of other computers
Cleaning Tools
Cable ties – used to bundle cables neatly inside and outside of a computer.
Parts organizer – used to hold screw, jumpers,
fasteners and other small parts and prevents them from
getting mixed together.
Paint brush- its long and soft natural bristles can be used to dust off the surface of
circuit boards and its hard-toreach areas
Diagnostic Tools
Computers are easier to use and more dependable with each new generation
of hardware and operating system update, but that doesn't mean they're
problemfree. Diagnostic tools are used to test the integrity of circuits and
functionality of ports.
LAN Tester- is a device used to test the network connection.
Multimeter – used to test the integrity of circuits and the quality of electricity in
computer components.
Loopback Adapter – used to test the functionality of computer ports.
Toner probe – the toner part is connected to a cable at one end using specific
adapters, such as an RJ-45, coaxial, or metal clips. The toner generates a tone
that travels the length of the cable. The probe part traces the cable. When the
probe is in near proximity to the cable to which the toner is attached, the tone
can be heard through a speaker in the probe.
Flat head screwdriver Use a flat head screwdriver when you are working
with a slotted screw. Do not use a flat head screwdriver to remove a Phillips head
screw. Never use a screwdriver as a pry bar. If you cannot remove a component,
check to see if there is a clip or latch that is securing the component in place.
Hex driver Use a hex driver to loosen and tighten bolts that have a hexagonal (six-
sided) head. Hex bolts should not be over-tightened because the threads of the
bolts can be stripped. Do not use a hex driver that is too large for the bolt that you
are using.
CAUTION: Pencils should not be used inside the computer to change the setting of
switches or to pry off jumpers. The pencil lead can act as a conductor and may
damage the computer components.
CAUTION: When compressed air is used to clean inside the computer, the air
should be blown around the components with a minimum distance of four inches
from the nozzle. The power supply and the fan should be cleaned from the back of
the case.
CAUTION: Before cleaning any device, turn it off and unplug the device from the
power source.
Computer Cases and Monitors Clean computer cases and the outside of
monitors with a mild cleaning solution on a damp, lint-free cloth. Mix one drop of
dishwashing liquid with four ounces of water to create the cleaning solution. If any
water drips inside the case, allow enough time for the liquid to dry before powering
on the computer.
LCD Screens Do not use ammoniated glass cleaners or any other solution on
an LCD screen, unless the cleaner is specifically designed for the purpose. Harsh
chemicals will damage the coating on the screen. There is no glass protecting these
screens, so be gentle when cleaning them and do not press firmly on the screen.
CRT Screens to clean the screens of CRT monitors, dampen a soft, clean,
lintfree cloth with distilled water and wipe the screen from top to bottom. Then use
a soft, dry cloth to wipe the screen and remove any streaking after you have
cleaned the monitor.
Clean dusty components with a can of compressed air. Compressed air does
not cause electrostatic buildup on components. Make sure that you are in a
wellventilated area before blowing the dust out of the computer. A best practice is
to wear a dust mask to make sure that you do not breathe in the dust particles.
Blow out the dust using short bursts from the can. Never tip the can or use
the compressed air can upside down. Do not allow the fan blades to spin from the
force of the compressed air. Hold the fan in place. Fan motors can be ruined from
spinning when the motor is not turned on.
Mouse Use glass cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the outside of the mouse.
Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mouse. If cleaning a ball mouse, you can
remove the ball and clean it with glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Wipe the rollers
clean inside the mouse with the same cloth. Do not spray any liquids inside the
mouse.
