Proper Use of Tools

This document discusses proper use of electrostatic discharge (ESD) tools and cleaning materials for electronics. It recommends organizing a workstation with an anti-static mat and wrist strap to prevent ESD damage. The mat provides a grounded surface and wrist strap equalizes electrical charge between a person and equipment. Various screwdrivers and tools are described for removing screws and components. Mild cleaners are suggested for cases and monitors, while compressed air removes dust from keyboards and mice. Special care is needed when cleaning LCD and CRT screens.

PROPER USE OF TOOLS

Presented by : Petate, Anexa Venice V.


GROUP 1 - ASSISTANT
PROPER USE OF ESD
TOOLS
What is ESD?

ESD, or ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE is


the rapid transfer of electric charge
from one object to another
WHAT WE CAN DO TO
PREVENT ESD DAMAGE?
Organize a workstation, equipped
with anti-static table mat and wrist
strap
ANTI-STATIC TABLE MAT
- is placed hardware on to prevent static
electricity from building up.

1. Lay the mat under the computer case.


2. Clip the mat to the case to provide a
grounded surface on which you can
place parts as you remove them from
the system unit.
ANTI-STATIC WRIST STRAP

- is used to equalize the electrical charge


between you and the equipment. Your
body has static electricity that might
damage the components of the system
unit. Anti-static wrist strap is a
conductor that connects your body to
the equipment that you are working on.
1. Wrap the strap around your wrist
and secure it using the snap or
Velcro. Always remember that the
metal on the back of the wrist strap
should remain in contact with your
skin.
2. Snap the connector at the end of the wire to the
wrist strap and connect the other end either to the
equipment or to the same grounding point that the
anti-static mat is connected to. The metal case of the
system unit is a good place to connect the wire.

PROPER USE OF HAND
TOOLS
Screws
Match each screw with the
proper screwdriver. Place the tip
of the screwdriver on the head
of the screw. Turn the
screwdriver clockwise to tighten
the screw and counterclockwise
to loosen the screw.
Flat head screwdriver
Use a flat screwdriver when you are
working with a slotted screw. Do
not use a flat screwdriver to remove
a crosshead 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.
Phillips head screwdriver

Use a Phillips screwdriver with


crosshead screws. Do not use
this type of screwdriver to
puncture anything. This will
damage the head of the
screwdriver.
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 as 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.
The part retriever, needle-
nose pliers, and tweezers
are used to place and
retrieve screws that may be
hard to reach with your
fingers. Do not scratch or
hit any components when
using these tools.
Proper Use of Cleaning Materials
Computer cases and monitors

Clean computer cases and


monitors with a mild
cleaning solution, mix
dishwashing liquid with
water and allow the liquid
to dry before powering on
the computer.
LCD Screens

Avoid using ammoniated glass


cleaners on LCD screens unless
specifically designed for the
purpose, as harmful chemicals
can damage the screen's
coating.
CRT Screens
To clean the screens of CRT
monitors, dampen a soft, clean,
lint-free 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.
COMPONENT CONTACTS

Clean the contacts on components with


isopropyl alcohol. Do not use rubbing alcohol.
Rubbing alcohol contains impurities that can
damage contacts. Make sure that the contacts
do not collect any lint from the cloth or cotton
swab. Blow any lint off the contacts with
compressed air before reinstallation.
Keyboard

Clean a desktop keyboard


with compressed air or a
small, hand-held vacuum
cleaner with a brush
attachment.
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
