Introductory Message
For the facilitator:
Have a wonderful and fruitful day!
Welcome to our new normal teaching modality. We all know that this is new to our
educational system but we need to cope up this change as one of the characteristics of a 21 st
century teacher.
This module serves as your guide in facilitating the learner’s exploratory course in
the most essential learning competencies in TLE-SMAW Grade 7/8. Content of this material
is more on self-paced activities and real-life situations.
God bless and have fun!

For the learner:

Welcome to the world of SMAW!
This module is an exploratory course which leads you to SMAW. It covers lessons that
a Grade 7/8 students like you ought to possess.
This material begins with one or more Information Sheets. An Information Sheet
contains important information that you need to know. Answer the required learning
activities.
After reading the Information Sheet, test yourself on how much you learned from it.
Refer to the Answer Key for correction. Do not hesitate to go back to the Information Sheet
when you do not get all test items correctly. This will ensure your mastery of basic
information. It is not enough that you acquire content or information. You must be able to
demonstrate what you learned by doing what the Activity Sheet directs you to do. In other
words, you must be able to apply what you learned in real life concerns.
Enjoy learning while performing the activities.
Good luck and have fun!
 Let Us Learn!
Welcome!

In this module, you will learn about identifying appropriate hand tools and
manipulating the tools and materials in a job/task. This will be the source of information that
will enable you to acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes in this particular trade
independently at your own pace or with minimum supervision or help from your teacher.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: At the end of this module, you are expected to:
1. Identify the appropriate hand tool.
2. Demonstrate the use of hand tool for a specific job.

Let Us Try!

Give a simple description about the following words:

1. Measuring Tools -
2. Cutting Tools -
3. Driving Tools -
4. Holding Tools -

Let Us Study

Read and understand the Information below.

Information Sheet
1) Measuring tools - tools used to measure the dimension of an object or metal
2) Cutting tools - is a wedge shaped and sharp edge device that is used to removed
excess layer of material from the work piece by shearing by machining or manual
process in order to obtain desired shape size and accuracy.
3) Driving tools - are tool used for pushing and pulling of nails, screws, nuts or any
object removed from position.
4) Holding tools- are tool used for holding objects.

Measuring Tools

1. Pull-push rule. This flexible rule when extended will support itself, but may
also be used to measure curved, irregular surfaces. Steel tape rule blade is usually
½ inch wide and 72 inches long. The graduation is sixteenths, except for the first
6 inches which are graduated in thirty-seconds of an inch.

2. Steel tape. It is similar to a steel tape rule except for its flexible number of feet
that are marked on the tape. The tape is 3/8-inch-wide and available in lengths from
25 to 100 feet.

Cutting Tools

1. Hacksaw is a tooth cutting tool usually with a solid and adjustable frame. The main
parts are handles, blade, tightening screw and nuts. The tool is mainly used in cutting
metals like plates, pipes, rods, bars, angular, etc. but of minimal thickness, width and
length. Sometimes this tool is used for cutting plastic pipes and other materials that
suit to its purpose.

2. Files are made of high-grade steel which are hardened and tempered. Each file has
rows of teeth that form, shape and finish metal by removing small chips and
smoothing rough edges of the metal surface. They differ in length, shape, cut and
coarseness.

Driving Tools

1. Ball peen hammer is used for straightening bending and deforming metals. It has
two faces. One is flat in striking cold chisels and punches. The other side the “peen”
is rounded for bending and shaping metals. Ball peen hammer generally has a wood
or fiberglass handle measuring 10-16 inches long. Head weight ranges from 2-48 oz.
A 20oz hammer is good for general purpose.

https://www.popularmechanics.com/home/tools/

2. Wrench is used for loosening and tightening light and heavy nuts and bolts.
There are different kinds and sizes of wrenches designed according to uses and
functions.

a. An adjustable wrench has a movable jaw which makes it adjustable to

various sizes of nuts. A heavy type of adjustable wrench is the monkey/pipe
wrench.

 Procedures on Using Different Hand Tools and Equipment
Hacksaw

Steps in Mounting Blade to the Metal Frame

https://www.popularmechanics.com/home/
tools/how-to/g2743/measuring-tools-and-
instruments/

1. Select the correct type of blade.

2. Attach the blade to the frame by pointing the teeth away from the handle.
3. Tighten the wing nut of the handle until the blade is tight enough.

Tighten the wing nut securely enough to prevent from buckling and breaking.

https://www.popularmechanics.com/home/tools/how-to/g2743/measuring-tools-and-instruments/

Steps in Fixing Stock in Metal Vise and Operation Position 25-30 cm

1. Fasten the stock in vise with lay-out line as close as possible to the end of the used
vise jaws.
2. Stand with your feet 25 to 30 centimeters apart and one foot forward.
3. Lean the body a little forward as shown in the drawing

Steps in Sawing the Stock

https://www.popularmechanics.com/home/tools/how-to/g2743/measuring-tools-and-instruments/

1. Start the saw by guiding the blade with the thumb of your left hand while taking one
or two light strokes with your right hand.
2. Move the saw with a light steady and even motion of about 40 to 50 strokes per
minute.
3. Apply pressure during the forward stroke and release during the return strokes.
4. Hold the stock with your left hand to avoid cuts upon sawing with your right hand.

7
Steps in Bending 90o with Ball Peen Hammer

1. Force the metal over the vise jaws using left-hand.

2. Strike it several times near the hand with flat head of a hammer.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org

Steps in Squaring off a 90o Bend

1. Place the metal in the bench vise and tighten strongly.
2. Strike the metal with the flat head of a hammer in the direction of the arrow indicated.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org

Circular Bend

1. Place the metal over a pipe or round bar and clamp in a bench vise.
2. Strike the metal with a glancing blow using the flat head of a hammer until the desired
curve is obtained.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org

Cold Chisel
Cold Chisel is used for cutting and chipping cold metals.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org

8
 The illustration above presents the Two Hands Positioning in cold chiseling which
shows the proper grip in using the tool. For heavy work, hand gripping of tool should be
strong and tight; for fine and small work, hold the tool lightly.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org

Look at the person work with the ball peen hammer and the chisel, as shown in the
illustration above. A cold chisel will cut metals only if you strike it with the flat head of a
ball peen hammer. The complete safety protection device and the body position when
performing the task (chiseling) are evidently done.

 Let Us Remember

A tool is a device that can be used to produce an item or accomplish a task, but that is
not consumed in the process. It can be considered as extension of the human hand thus
increasing speed, power, and accuracy and on the other hand’s equipment includes any
machine powered by electricity.

Hand tools are tools manipulated by hands without using electrical energy such as: puller,
hacksaw, pull-push rule, pliers, hammer, and others.
