Maintaining Electrical Power and Hydraulic Tools
Learning Objectives: After Reading this discussion you must be able to maintain
and store properly the electrical power and hydraulic tools that is commonly used
during electrical installation. You must also be able to report the damaged electrical
and hydraulic tools.
Maintenance:
1. Maintenance is an action carried out to retain electrical power and hydraulic
tools in an acceptable condition,
2. The principal objectives of maintenance can be clearly defined as follows:

 To extend the useful life of electrical power and hydraulic tools

 To assure the optimum availability of electrical power and

hydraulic tools

 To ensure operational readiness of electrical power and

hydraulic tools

Lubrication
The following features contribute to safety and economic lubricating machine
tools:

1. Plates on machines clearly show the grades of lubricant, quantities and

intervals are required. The machine name, type, and model should be
visible.
2. Maintain the proper level of lubrication reservoirs.
3. Suitable method of lubrication should be followed to minimize or prevent
metal – to – metal contact at all times.
4. Sufficient lubricant capacity is needed to prevent overheating and
thermal distortion of machine tool structures.
5. Adequate sealing should be properly observed. Install provision for
removal of contaminant collected by the lubricant (e.g., filters).

Types of Lubricant

 Liquid lubricant. A lanolin or natural water repellent lanolin is derived

from wool grease and a safe alternative of those common petro

chemical based lubricants. These lubricants are also preventive agents
against corrosion.

 Water. It can also be used as a major component aside from other

based oils.

 Vegetable oils. These are primarily derived from plants and animals.

Purpose of Lubricating:
Lubricating performs the following key functions:

1. Keeps movable part apart

2. Reduces friction
3. Transfers heat
4. Carries away contaminant and debris
5. Transmits power
6. Protects against wear
7. Prevents corrosion

BASIC LUBRICATION
The function of a lubricant is simple. It reduces friction between moving metal
surfaces. A lubricant coats surfaces and resists being displaced by the pressure
keeping the metal parts separated. Lubricants also prevent corrosion, block
contaminants and can serve as a coolant. A good lubricant flows easily under
pressure and remains in contact with moving surfaces. It does not leak out from
gravitational or centrifugal forces nor does it stiffen in cold temperatures.

There are several types of lubricants:

1. Oils cover a broad class of fluid lubricants which has particular physical
properties and characteristics. Petroleum oils (mineral oils) are made from
naphthenic or paraffinic oils. Naphthenic oils contain little wax and their low
pour point makes them good lubricants for most applications. Paraffinic oils,
on the other hand, are very waxy, which makes them useful for hydraulic
equipment and other machineries.
2. Ideal for lubricating bearings, gaskets, seals and other moving parts, greases
consist of an oil or synthetic fluid (~80%), a thickening agent (~10%) and
additives (~10%). The consistency of greases is usually ranked by their
relative hardness on a scale set by the National Lubricating Grease Institute
(NLGI). The softest greases are rated at 000 (which is a flowing liquid) with
higher numbers indicating harder grease. Most grease falls in the range
between 1 and 4.
3. Solid lubricants are usually fine powders, such as Molybdenum Disulfide
(Moly), graphite and Teflon® (PTFE). They can be used alone, or as
additives in grease or dispersions, or as dry film bonded lubricants.
Lubricating solids can last longer than unfortified oils and greases because
of their ability to form burnished films on surfaces.
4. Rust remover is used mainly to dissolve rust. It is also use
as an excellent cleaner. For example, to remove a rusted
bolt, spray remover directly on the bolt, wait for
approximately five minutes; and unscrew. For a bicycle
chain, apply the rust remover to clean the chain, and then
apply a thick lubricant (oil or PL-100). WD-40 and Release
All are two of the many brands of rust removers on the
market.
5. Dry lubricant is a product that, although greasy when applied, dries
in a few minutes and leaves a protective film. Since it dries rapidly,
it doesn't attract dust, so there is no mess. This is why it is
recommended to be used on rubber, car door gaskets, handsaws,
mitre saw, saw sliders, window sashes, etc. It can also be used on
balky wooden drawers, but cabinet makers usually prefer floor wax
because it is more durable. JIG-A-LOO is the common brand of a
dry lubricant.
a. Locksmiths also use a dry lubricant, graphite, to free stuck door
locks. This product, commonly found in stores, should be applied
sparingly into the keyhole, as it is very messy. Graphite lubricant is
composed of a fine black powder that no cleaner can remove, so it
is wise to protect the door when graphite is applied.
6. Penetrating lubricant. Its lubricating properties persist even
after having removed residues, as it penetrates into metal. It is
ideal for door hinges, even the fridge, hard to open pliers, ski
bindings, and as it does not hold dirt and dust. The PL-100 is
thick and very efficient.
Synthetic lubricants cover a broad category of oils, greases, and pastes of varied
properties. Synthetic lubricants are more inert, generate less waste, are capable of
a wider range of temperatures and have a longer life than petroleum materials. They
are even applicable to elastomers, seals and O-rings.
1. Synthetic oils are used to lubricate instrument bearings, hydraulics, air
compressors, gas and steam turbines, and other applications. They have
excellent viscosity-temperature characteristics, good resistance to oxidation
and an extremely wide operating temperature range.

2. Synthetic greases can last a lifetime, making them very cost-effective. They
are chemically inert, and their high thermal stability makes them useful for
aerospace, electrical, automotive and other high-tech or industrial
applications. Some of these lubricants keep their viscosity in temperatures
ranging as high as 550° F and are non-flammable up to 1,200° F.
Silicones are very stable and very inert lubricants, which provide a wider range of
operating temperatures than non-silicone synthetic lubricants. Other advantages
include water repulsion and electrical insulation. Flourosilicones have a higher
resistance to harsh environments and the ability to carry bearing loads.

Lubricant manufacturers can provide technical data sheets on their products to

advise you on the best applications of each type of lubricant.

Kinds, Uses, and Properties of Cleaning Solvents

Kinds of Cleaning Solvents
1. Solutions are homogeneous mixture of two or more components; can be
gaseous, liquid, or solid. When we speak of a solution, we usually think of a
solid dissolved in water. While water is the most common solvent, other liquids
are frequently employed as solvents for certain substances – for example wax
maybe dissolved in gasoline. The dissolved material in a solution is termed as
solute (e.g. wax) while the dissolving medium is called solvent (e.g. gasoline).
However, the term can be interchanged depending on which substance is of
greater amount.
2. Solvent is a component of a solution that dissolves solute and is usually
present in large proportion or amount. It can be classified as polar or nonpolar.
Polar solvents are solvents which dissolve or are soluble in water; while
nonpolar solvents are solvents which do not dissolve or are insoluble in water.

Solvents that are usually used for cleaning in automotive shops are water, gasoline,
kerosene, thinner and detergent soap.
The table below shows the kinds of cleaning solvent based on their solubility in
water.

Uses of Cleaning Solvents

Occupational Health and Safety Practices in Handling Cleaning Solvents

Disregarding the basic precautionary measures could lead to eye injury and
cuts in using cleaning solvents. You should never use compressed air to clean your
clothes, hands or body. The pressure can cause the cleaning solvents and dirt
particles to penetrate your skin, resulting in infection and /or blood poisoning.

Do not use compressed air to clean an object immediately after it has been
removed from a hot cleaning tank. Rinse the cleaning solvents away with water. Do
not use carbon tetrachloride as a cleaning solution. The fumes, when inhaled can
cause serious internal injury and possibly result in death. When steam-cleaning,
place the object to be cleaned on a pallet and wear a face shield and rubber gloves
for protection against loose debris.

If a job or cleaning task requires the use of gloves, use the appropriate
gloves. If you have cut, nicked, or burned yourself, or something has got into your
eyes, report immediately to the first-aid person.

Keep all inflammable cleaning solvents in closed tin containers and

whenever possible, store them in a separate area.
