 PROPER TOOL
SELECTION
• A tool is a handheld device that aids in
accomplishing a task. Tools range from a
traditional metal cutting part of a machine
to an element of a computer program that
activates and controls a particular function.
 Preparing for the task
• How do you select the best tool for the
job? First, know and understand in
detail the scope of work to be
accomplished, second, plan for the
scope taking into account the sequence
of tasks.
 Preparing for the task
• Selecting the best tool for each task
requires training in the proper use of the
tools, field experience in their safe use,
and following the manufacturer’s guidance
and instructions for that specific tool.
 Preparing for the task
• When obtaining the tool all the associated
tooling and consumable parts, as
recommended by the manufacturer, must
be included. In addition, related
consumable parts must also be selected
and used according to their manufacturer’s
instructions.
 Safe use of Tools
• 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 the your safety. If
there are set-up or use options, operator
judgment must always be based on
what is the safest way to use the tool.
 Safe use of Tools
Environmental Safety and Health Program
requires the following:
• All tools be kept in good condition with regular
maintenance
• The right tool must be used for the job
• Each tool be examined before use AND
• damaged or defective tools NOT to be used
• Tools be operated according to manufacturer’s
instructions
• The right protective equipment for the tool and
activity be
used
Hardware tools are grouped into these
four categories.
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) tools
Hand tools
Cleaning
tools
Diagnostic
tools
 Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) Tools
• Static electricity is easily generated
by friction on carpets, tile flooring,
clothing, hair, fabric, and etc.
Grounded anti-static work mats
used with anti-static wrist straps
provide the most basic means for the
controlled discharge of electro-
static electricity.

cannot see well.
 CLEANING TOOLS

Having the appropriate cleaning tools is essential when

maintaining or repairing computers.
Using these tools ensures that computer components are
not damaged during cleaning.
