General Safety Tips

Be clean and neat Happy worker Dress safely - Avoid loose fitting . Avoid hazards associated with the use of hand and power tools.
27/06/11 MNATC 2002 4

Hand Tools --Safety

Keep all tools in good condition with regular maintenance. Use the right tool for the job. Examine each tool for damage before use and do not use damaged tools. Operate tools according to the manufacturers instructions. Provide and use properly the right personal protective equipment.
27/06/11 MNATC 2002 5

Power Tools -- Safety

Never carry a tool by the cord or hose. Never yank the cord or the hose to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep cords and hoses away from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Disconnect tools when not in use, before servicing, and when changing accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.
27/06/11 MNATC 2002 6

Power Tools -- Safety

Instruct all observers to stay at a safe distance away from the work area. Secure small work surfaces with clamps or a vice so that you can use both hands to operate the tool. To avoid accidentally starting the tool, the worker should not place a finger on the switch button while carrying a plugged-in tool.
27/06/11 MNATC 2002 7

Power Tools -- Safety

Maintain tools with care. Keep them sharp and clean for the best performance, and follow instructions in the user's manual for lubricating and changing accessories. Maintain good footing and good balance. Wear the proper apparel - loose clothing or jewellery can become caught in moving parts. Remove all portable electric tools that are damaged from use and tag them "Do Not Use."

-Spanner-the hook spanner

is for around nut with a series of notches cut in the outer edge

-has a curved arm with a hook on the end that fit

one of the notches on the nut -the hook is placed in one of these notches with the handle pointing in the direction the nut is to be turned

- Torque- there are times when definite pressure must be

applied to a nut or bolt as it is installed . In such cases a calibrated torque wrench must be used . - before each use ,torque wrench should be visually inspected for damage - commonly used torque wrenches include the deflecting beam (not shown) , dial indicating , micrometer, and electronic setting types.

METHOD OF FILING 1.Cross- filing- it is the most common method of filling for general shaping work -It is used for efficient removal of maximum amount of metal in the shortest possible time 2. Straight filling it is specially use full on long and narrow pieces of work whose width is less than that of the file. In this method the file stroke is made nearly at right angles to the length of the work 3. Draw filling- the draw filling is used to remove file marks and for finishing operation. For this purpose a fine cut file with a flat face should be used

27/06/11

- Tri-square
90, 45 angles, Bubble Level Protractor Precision angles

 Center head
Used to find the center of an object Each head slides along the blade and can be locked in place

 The Micrometer
Handle with care Four types of Micrometers Outside Inside Depth Thread Precision measuring instrument

 Micrometer (Cont) Used to measure Thickness Diameter Other items Storing a Micrometer Never tighten Anvil against Spindle, leave a small opening Store in a dry place, box, or pouch If dropped, check for accuracy with Gauge Block before using

 How to use and read a Micrometer

Hold frame in palm of hand with little finger or third finger inside the frame Tighten around object until ratchet clicks Micrometers with Vernier scale allow you to read the fraction of the division on the barrel scale One revolution of micrometer is 0.025 Gauge Block should be used to check calibration

Least count of micro meter 0.1/4=0.025 0.025/25=0.001 Less than this number we can not read

Compute the following micro meter reading

 Depth Micrometer
Used to measure Holes Grooves Recesses When using a Depth Micrometer: Make sure base has a flat, smooth surface to rest on Hold firmly in place to prevent lift-off and ensure an accurate measurement

How to use and read a Depth Micrometer

Graduations on the barrel are numbered in the opposite direction of those on an outside micrometer Pay attention to numbers you cant see

4 tenths + 25 thousandths + 10 thousandths = 0.435

 Calipers
Digital Dial Vernier

Easy to read
Can be used to measure
Outside Inside Depth

 Venire Caliper:
The main scale is divided in inches. Each inch is divided into 40 parts, like the sleeve on the micrometer Each division is equal to 0.025 inch A movable jaw that matches the fixed jaw slides along the main scale bar Contains 25 divisions that equal 24 divisions on the main scale

 How to read a Vernier Caliper:

Read the nearest number located on the main scale (in inches) and add to that the number of subdivisions.
Make sure to read from the zero on the movable jaw Vernier scale and not the jaw edge!

Scan down the movable jaw Vernier scale and select the number that matches up exactly with the main scale Add this number to the numbers from the main scale

 Compute the following vernire caliper reading

 Solution For inch measurement

8 3 1"+ + 0 4

1 7 =1.9 7 " =4 .7 7 m 5 9 08 m 4 0 2 5

"

1/40is the least count of vernier caliper in the main scale but 1/(40/25)=.001 the list count of the vernier caliper. 7 Is coincide number in the vernier scale

 For metric measurement 49+(1/50*38)=49.76mm

1/50 =the least count of the vernier caliper 38 Is the number coincide with the main scale

 Ball gauges (Small Hole gauge)

Used to measure small holes up to inch in diameter Insert ball gauge into hole and tighten Remove ball gauge and use a micrometer to determine size of hole by measuring 90 degrees to separation (spilt) on the ball gauge Store with ball retracted (backed-off)

 Telescoping Gauges
Used to measure inside cylinders, typically up to six inches in diameter. Allow spring loaded T gauge to extend to inside opening Lock shaft Measure with micrometer Store with T gauge extended

 Dial indicator
-A precision instrument -The linear movement of a spindle amplified by a gear train transmitted in to rotation of a pointer over a graduated dial -The scale on the dial reads both to the right and the left of the zero and thus indicate the instrument is properly adjusted to any variation -Determine the smoothness of concentricity of a surface

vblocks
Made up of either cast iron or steel in various size A 90o V-shaped slot on both top and bottom The size is usually grooved to receive the clamp yoke which serves to hold the work securely in place while it is laid out or drilled
