Power Tools
EIM 9
Electrical Power tools
• Electrical tools are used to multiply
manual work of humans. It can be
considered as extension of human hand
thereby increasing its speed, power and
accuracy.
• It is a device that is actuated by a power
source apart from manual work.
Advantages of Using Proper
Elctrical Tools
•Effeciency of the work is met.
•High Quality of work is achieved.
•Accomplishment of a task is faster
•Accuracy is obtained.
•It is less stressful on the part of the user.
However, these advantages
depend upon the three
factors, namely:
•Availability and sufficiency of materials,
•Experience and skills of the workers in
using the tools, and
•Quality of the tools and equipment.

working.
Safety Precautions in Using Portable
Electric Drill
9. If the electrical cord becomes frayed or begins to separate
from the drill housing, repair it immediately.
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 that 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 bruise.
Safety Precautions in Using Portable
Electric Drill
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.
Procedure in using Portable
Electric Drill
3. Use only straight shank or silver deeming 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.
Procedure in using Portable

6. Use slow drill speed 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.
Power Grinder
is a hand-held rotating machine used
for grinding and cutting processes
depending on the type of disc fitted
to the machine. For cutting
concrete , a “diamond” cutting disc is
used.

way work when grinding.
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 the
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.
Procedure in Using the
Portable Disc Grinder
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 (2.0mm2) gauge
extension cord is minimum and #12 (3.5mm2)
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.
