Introductory Message
Welcome to the Technology and Livelihood Education 7/8 (Exploratory) Alternative Delivery
Mode (ADM) Module on Information and Communication Technology – Computer Systems
Servicing-Using Hand Tools: Prepare Tasks to be Undertaken, Prepare Hand Tools.
This module was collaboratively designed, developed, and reviewed by educators from public
institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator, in helping the learners meet the standards
set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and economic
constraints in schooling.
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent learning
activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help learners acquire the
needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of the module:
As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module. You also
need to keep track of the learners’ progress while allowing them to manage their own learning.
Furthermore, you are expected to encourage the learners as they do the tasks included in the
module.
Welcome to the Technology and Livelihood Education 7/8 (Exploratory) Alternative Delivery
Mode (ADM) Module on Using Hand Tools: Prepare Tasks to be Undertaken, Prepare Hand

CATEGORIES OF HARDWARE TOOLS AND ITS USES
Hand Tools
Tools that are used mainly by our two hands to operate.
7
Tweezers – usually used to hold and
manipulate small parts.
8
Soldering iron – it is used to join two or more
items together by melting and putting a filler metal
(solder) into the joint.
Cleaning Tools
It is important to have an appropriate cleaning tools when repairing or maintaining
computers. Using these tools will keep computers away from damaging or having scratches.
9
Diagnostic Tools
Diagnostic tools can be used to scan your computer’s hard drive, check your ram for errors,
check microprocessor temperature and give you information about any other devices
connected to your computer.
Once the tool has been selected, use the tool for the
purpose for which it was designed and intended to use. Not all
tools come with detailed instructions, 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.
The person should be trained on safety procedures in
working with tools. Do not forget that safe practices when carrying
or storing those tools should be incorporated while working. Tools
can pose a safety risk when they are misplaced or improperly
handled.
Screwdrivers. Ensure the handle is not chipped or broken. Many people will use the screwdriver
as a chisel and hit the back end of it with a hammer. This causes damage to the screwdriver
and will damage the handle. If the head of the screwdriver is chipped or worn down, replace the
screwdriver.
10
Multimeter. You can detect certain faults by looking at the needle of an analog meter. It should
be on 0 and respond to the adjustment screw and should be centered with respect to the dial.
The front spring if visible should unbroken and appear to be in good condition. The needle should
also not move much if the meter is moved gently from side to side and should return to 0 when
you stop moving it.
LAN Tester. It is defective and if the lights are not turning on if you replace the battery with a new
one, still the problem persists.
Soldering Iron. It run on electricity and, if the circuit is broken, the electricity will no longer work.
If your soldering iron is not producing any heat, it is likely because of a break in the electrical
circuit, resulting from either a faulty connection in the iron or heating element failure.
Punched Down Tool. If the tool cannot cut through the cable, then the cutting edge mut be dull
and need replacement.
2. Do not use broken or damaged tools, dull cutting tools or screwdrivers with
worn tips.
3. Cut in a direction away from your body.
4. Make sure your grip and footing are secure when using tools.
5. Carry tools securely and safely.
6. Pass a tool to another person by the handle; never toss it to them.
7. Use the right personal protective equipment, or PPE, for the job.
8. Never carry sharp or pointed tools, such as a screwdriver, in your pocket.
9. Always keep your tools in good condition and store it properly.
11
Independent Activity 1

1. The person should not be trained on safe procedures for working with tools.
2. If there are set-up/use options, operator judgment must always be based on what is
the safest way to use the tool.
3. Tools must be operated according to manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Do not use the tool for the purpose for which it was designed and intended to use.
