Hydraulic Tools
Hydraulic tools are a generic term that includes low to high-pressure
tooling and equipment. Tools include but are not limited to jacks, cylinders,
crimpers, spreaders, cutters, splitters, breakers, drivers, torque wrenches,
punches, drills, saws, and more.
Types of hydraulic tools
1. Hydraulic pipe benders are mechanisms that use hydraulic pressure
to bend various sizes of metal pipe and electrical conduit to specific
angles. They operate in a similar fashion as hydraulic automotive
jacks, with a hydraulic piston that rises to exert high amounts of
pressure on the pipe between the bending dies.

2. Hydraulic Crimper suitable for crimping tubular cable lugs and

connectors. Works with both standard and connectors for fine and
multi-stranded conductors.

3. Hydraulic knockout sets allow users to punch smooth holes through

steel electrical cabinets, and they get the job done considerably faster
than wrench-style alternatives.

Parts of Hydraulic Bender

1. Hydraulic Pump – It is considered as the

heart of tools where in it houses the
hydraulic oil.
2. Hydraulic Hose – A high-pressure
resistant hose where the hydraulic oil
travel from the hydraulic pump to
hydraulic ram.
3. Ram Travel Gauge- A visible guide in
determining the distance travel by the
hydraulic ram.

src=ae235/3717K_P&$prodImageMedium$

4. Hydraulic Ram – it is the one that pushes the pipe being bended to
the desired angle.
5. Pipe support – It provide support to the pipe being bended.
6. Bender Shoe – It catches the pipe being bended attached to the
hydraulic ram.
7. Bended frame – it house the entire unit that provides strength and
support.

Power Tool Safety Rules

Safety within and outside the shop is important. Teaching young

people to respect power tools and take safety procedures to heart represents
a continual challenge and a serious responsibility. Some students come to
class without any idea what a power tools are. Others have received poor
instruction or downright bad advice and mistakenly think they “know what
they are doing.” It’s essential that both groups must gain from you a solid
foundation in modern power tool safety practices that they can use in class
and throughout their lives. To avoid accidents, power tool operators must be
knowledgeable in handling these tools. Inexperienced, untrained, and
unprepared operators can be injured within minutes of attempting to use
them.

7
Safe Storage of Electrical Power and Hydraulic Tools

 Develop a system of racks, bins and tools panels for safe storing of
electrical tools and other materials.
 Don’t store tools, supplies or spare parts in the aisle or on the floor
where they become tripping hazards.
 Keep other flammable materials away from heaters and welding areas to
prevent fire. Grease oil, paint, and solvent should be stored in a close
metal container, preferably in metal cabinets.
 Gasoline or other fuels should never be stored inside a shop.
 Supplies, tools and equipment should be stored in any area designed
specifically for them. Electrical power tools should have its own racks or
tool panels while hydraulic tools should have its own racks or tool
panels.

Safety/precautionary measures should always be observed when handling

power tools, many of these precautions are common to all. Learn these by
heart and you’ll always be safe.

 Always read, understand, and follow the Instruction Manual before using
any power tool. Also read the nameplate information and follow the warning
labels of the tool itself. 30
 Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields. Use a dust
mask for dusty operations and wear hearing protection when needed.
 Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing, no neckties, no jewelry, no dangling
objects of any kind. Long hair must be tied back out of your way. Use Non
slippery footwear.
 Make sure your work area is neat and clean and free from any debris that
might get in your way or be ignited by hot tools, chips or sparks.
 Make sure your work area is well - lighted.
 Before you plug in any power tool, make sure the power switch is off.
 Make sure that all appropriate guards are in place and working.
 Always turn off and unplug the tool before you make any adjustments or
changes in accessories.
 Never use any accessory except those specifically supplied or
recommended by the manufacturer. They should be described in the tool’s
Instruction Manual.
 Never use power tools in wet or damp conditions.
 Never use a tool that is damaged or malfunctioning.
 Make sure that the extension cord used is designed for its purpose. If the
tool has a three-pronged plug, make sure you use a three-pronged extension
cord plugged into a three pronged outlet.
 Never use power tools if you are tired, sick, distracted, or under the
influence of drugs or alcohol.

8
 Make sure cutters or blades are clean, sharp and securely in place. Never
use bent, broken, or warped blades or cutters.
 Never overreach while using a power tool. Stay in balance.
 Never rush what you are doing. Be in focus. Don’t let anything distract
you.
 When using hand-held power tools, always keep a firm grip with both
hands, losing control creates a hazardous situation.
 Always use the right tool for the right job. No substitutions are allowed.
 When done, always unplug, clean, and store the tool in a safe and dry
place.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE

Maintenance is an action carried out to retain an item in or to restore it to

its functional condition.

Regular maintenance and servicing of power tools and electric tools will help
to ensure that they operate with optimum efficiency at all times. This will
not only help to keep tool operating costs low but it can also increase tool
safety and reliability.

The first thing to do in any preventive maintenance system is to use your

eyes, nose, ears, experience, and judgment. Follow your instinct or your
keen observation on equipment when doing preventive maintenance.

Planned maintenance

1. Preventive maintenance is performed in order to ensure that tools are

operating properly and efficiently.
2. Corrective maintenance is performed in order to correct a failure.

9
3. Emergency maintenance is necessary to put the item at hold immediately
to avoid serious consequences such as the loss of production, extensive
damage of assets, and for safety reasons.

Sample checklist of tools and equipment

YES NO STORING TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
Are the tools stored in proper storage area when not in use?
Are the defective hand power tools removed from the storage
area for repair?
Are the power equipment turned OFF when not in use or
when adjustments are needed?
Are the tools and equipment kept clean and in good working
conditions?
Are the worn-out, deteriorated or poorly insulated power tools
and equipment replaced/repaired?

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

1. Liquid
2. Solid
3. Grease
4. Paste

• 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:

• Keeps movable part apart
• Reduces friction
• Transfers heat
• Carries away contaminant and debris
• Transmits power
• Protects against wear
• Prevents corrosion

BENEFITS OF MAINTAINING POWER AND HYDRAULIC TOOLS

1. Keep equipment/tools running efficiently

2. Extend equipment/tools life
3. Avoids emergency maintenance
4. Keep equipment clean
5. Maximize warranty coverage
