SOLDERING TOOLS
Soldering Iron - hand tool used to heat solder, usually from an electrical supply at
high temperatures above the melting point of the metal alloy. This allows for the
solder to flow between the work pieces needing to be joined.

Soldering Gun are used where more heat is needed than from the lower
power soldering irons. They can be used for heavy electrical connections, stained
glass assembly, and light sheet-metal work.
Soldering Tool Stand – is a place where the soldering iron is placed during usage.
This will keep the soldering iron away from flammable materials. The stand often
comes with a sponge used in cleaning the tip of the soldering iron.

Below are the following hazards when tools are improperly used:
Cutting tools may inflict injuries when improperly handled due to its sharp
edges that can cut through the skin of the human body.
Driving tools like screw drivers and hammers, when used improperly can
break human flesh or fracture bones which are very painful to an individual.
Boring tools would also do damage when not properly used.
Soldering tools such as soldering iron, soldering gun and hot air soldering
causes extreme heat and burn in the skin when improperly used.
Other hazards and risks are caused by objects not properly placed in
laboratory area where crumbling or falling is highly possible
Workplace safety is very important for each and every employee in the industry
because all the workers desire to work in a safe and protected atmosphere.
1. Avoid wearing loose clothing when working. Sleeves should be fit and shirts tucked
in as much as possible. Remove ties, watches, rings, and other jewelry from your
body.
2. Report immediately injuries or accidents of any type to your teacher.
3. Never put fasteners or any small metal articles in or near the mouth when working.
4. Never throw tools of any type around. Make sure the sharp edge of cutting tools
are away from the edge of the table or work bench.
5. Keep working areas clean and free from disposable materials.
6. Secure the help of your classmates when carrying heavy tools to avoid accidents.
7. Never use dull or damaged tools.
8. Do not use tools with loose handles and ragged. Report cases like these to the
teacher and do necessary repair and adjustments, if possible.
9. Know and observe safety measures specific for each tool or operation.

The use of safety hand tools should be a key component of most school safety
programs. An understanding of the hand tool’s intended use and environment,
combined with proper tool selection, maintenance and storage, will greatly reduce
the risk of harmful accidents.
9
The following are guidelines maintaining and storing tools
Clean the tools regularly. Wipe them down with a rag or old towel and be sure
that they are free of dust, grease, and debris before you put them into their
proper places.
Lubricate the tools. Machine tools include moving parts that require
lubrication to work smoothly. Check the details daily, whether they are
properly lubricated. Use the all-purpose oil, the WD40 and lightly spray to the
adjustable parts and metal tool parts to avoid corrosion and rust.
Sharpen the essential parts. Some equipment is used for cutting and slicing,
such as blade, drill bits, and lathe tools. You’ll need to check whether it is
sharp or not.
Do not use hand tools in direct contact with acetylene, due to the possible
formation of explosive acetyl ides, especially in the presence of moisture.
Keep your power tools (i.e. electric drill) protected from dust, moisture and
other adverse conditions by storing them properly after use. Keep them in
their original case if possible or tuck them away in storage drawers or toolbox.
Soldering Iron
Always clean the tip before and after using.
Do not wash the tip just to speed up its cooling process after using it. It might
damage the heating element and corrode the tip.
Soldering gun
Be sure to tighten the two nuts holding the tip before using it to have
maximum heat transfer to its tip.
Never use a soldering gun in mass production assembly. It might be
overheated and will consume more power compared to a soldering iron.
Desoldering pump
Keep it in good condition by cleaning its inside and apply a small amount of
oil regularly.
Avoid direct contact of the soldering iron’s tip to the tip of the desoldering tool
when doing desoldering work.
Electric Drills
Before using a drill, be sure to tighten the chuck jaw and secure the drill bit
properly. The materials to be bored and the drill bit must be at 90 degrees
angle to achieve efficient boring operation.
