Portable Hand drill is a small drilling machine with a chuck of ¼” and 3/8”. It
is used to bore holes on lighter metal work.
Figure 1. Parts of a Portable Hand Drill
Portable Electric Drill Safety
1. Wear safety glasses when operating with portable electric drill.

2. Disconnect the drill from the electrical supply when installing bits.
3. Clamp stock so it will not move during the drilling operation.
4. Before drilling, turn the drill on to see if the bit is centered and running
true.
5. Align the bit with the desired hole location before turning the drill on.
6. Hold the drill firmly with both hands while drilling.
7. When drilling deep holes with a twist drill, move the bit up and down several
times while drilling to remove cuttings and reduce overheating in the bit.
8. Do not allow the cord to become wrapped around the drill when working.
9. If the electrical cord becomes frayed or starts to separate from the drill
housing, repair it immediately!
10. Remove the bit from the drill as soon as the work is completed.
11. Select the correct bit for the finish and material being drilled. Make sure
the bit is securely tightened in the drill chuck.
12. Be extremely careful when using larger portable electric drills (3/8" and
1/2"). If the bit should hang or get caught the drill will twist in the
operator’s hands causing a sprain or bruised fingers.
13. Always remove the key from the chuck before drilling.

Electrical Power
and Hydraulic
Tools. (Core
14. To prevent seizing, reduce the feed pressure when the drill bit is about to
come through the material.
Safety rules for using power drills
 Check area to be drilled for hidden wires or pipes.

 Hold drill securely with both hands.
 Place small objects to be drilled in a vise.
 Always hold the drill steady and perpendicular to
the work to prevent the bit from breaking or
binding.
 Always use a T-handle when drilling to allow you
to secure the hammer drill when it encounters
especially hard surfaces.
 Never lock the trigger in the “on” position.
 Never drill while off balance.
 Always wear eye protection.
Procedures in using Portable Hand Drill

1. Always center punch or make a starting indentation in the material being
drilled to get an accurate starting point for the drill bit.
2. Tighten the drill bit by rotating the chuck key to all three holes in the chuck.
This will help to keep the drill bit centered.
3. Use only straight shank or Silver and Deming drill bits in portable electric
drills.
4. Apply moderate even pressure to the drill during the drilling operation. If
excessive pressure is required to make the bit cut then the bit is dull and
needs to be sharpened.
5. Maintain good balance at all times when drilling.
6. Use slow drill speeds for drilling metal and fast speeds for drilling wood.
7. To obtain holes that are placed accurately, drill a small pilot first then drill
the final hole.

Electrical Power
and Hydraulic
Tools. (Core
Manually operated
A knockout punch, also known as a chassis punch , is a hand tool used
to punch a hole through sheet metal.
It is a very simple tool that consists of a punch, die, and screw. They are three
different drive systems: manual, ratchet, and hydraulic drives.
First a pilot hole is drilled of the same diameter as the screw of the knockout
punch. Then the die is placed on the screw and the screw is inserted into the pilot
hole. The screw is then threaded into the punch and the screw tightened until the
punch is drawn completely through the sheet metal.
The manual system uses a screw that has a standard hex head and is

driven using a wrench or by hydraulic pump.
A manual knockout punch can handle holes from 0.5 to 1.25 in (13 to 32
mm). The ratchet system has a custom ratcheting wrench that uses a ball screw to
make the process faster and easier. This type of system has a mechanical
advantage of approximately 220:1 and can punch holes up to 3 in (76 mm) in
diameter in 10 gauge mild steel.
A hydraulic system is much bulkier and heavier than the other systems but
it is the easiest to use and can make holes up to 6 in (150 mm) in diameter. It is a
two piece system where the dies are attached to the ram which is connected to the
hydraulic unit via a flexible hose.

Important Assembly Notes:
Proper crimping and cleaning of the wire is essential for optimizing connector
service. A proper crimp that is performed on oxidized wire may have high
resistance and could result in excess heat. Cutting back cable to a non-
oxidized area and / or cleaning the wire with a wire brush or 3M Scotch
Bright ™ is recommended.
Please note: tin plated wire resists surface contamination caused by

oxidation.

Connector Crimping and Soldering
1. Stripping Cable Insulation
Problems with cable harness and connector

systems often begin with improper or accidental
cutting of wire strands while stripping cable
insulation. Each strand is important, and all of
them must be included in the contact barrel to
avoid unnecessary hot spots during operation.
When removing insulation, position a sharp
blade at a right angle and apply steady,
controlled pressure, cutting only the cable
insulation, not the copper wire. Strip cable to the proper length for the
contact being crimped. Proper lengths are listed in the instruction sheet
with each APP connector.
2. Cleaning Copper Wire
Aged and badly tarnished copper should be

thoroughly scraped with a stiff wire brush that
penetrates the entire bundle cleaning every strand.
The wires will then be ready for insertion into the
contact barrel when they are brushed to their
original bright copper finish. Contact barrels are
lined with silver or tin plating to assure consistent
conductivity, which will be reduced if the barrel is
crimped around aged or tarnished wire.
3. Crimping
The best preparation will be defeated if

inadequate tools or improper crimping
procedures are performed. Never use a hammer
and chisel or the "squeeze-in-a-vise" method.
They won't do the job and will result
in substantial reduction in connector life.
Use a crimp tool. Make sure the stripped cable is inserted all the way into
the barrel of the contact and that the contact point is centered in the crimp
tool. A crimp tool will effectively compress the contact barrel tightly around

Electrical Power
and Hydraulic
Tools. (Core
the cable strands, allowing them to be pressed tightly against each other and
against the inside wall of the contact barrel.
When the crimp has been completed, check the appearance of the contact. A
properly crimped contact barrel is compacted tightly with the outer strands.
The outer strands on an improperly crimped barrel will be loose and will not
have adequate clamping force. Test for low pull-out force. If the cable can be
loosened, recrimp until it is tight.
4. Soldering
The alternative to crimping is to solder all cable strands within the contact
barrel. When using an open flame, make sure that you are not in an area
where explosive gasses are present. The right proportion of solder is
essential if this procedure is employed. Use a quality 60/40 solder (60
percent tin, 40 percent lead) in wire form with a rosin flux core. Cable
strands should be separately fluxed with rosin paste, and the contact should
be held in a vise with the barrel end facing up. Apply heat to the outside of
the barrel while the solder flows in beside the wire strands.
Here are some things to avoid when soldering:
A. Don't use too much solder, to the point that it flows out of the contact
barrel.
B. Don't allow flux or solder on the outside of the contact. This will interfere
with contact mounting within the installation or with the contact
connection to a mating connector.
C. Don't overheat and cause excessive solder to "wick" up into the cable and
stiffen it. This could interfere with contact flexibility when connectors
are mated.
D. Don't solder when contact is in the connector housing. Solder away from
the housing and then insert the contact into the housing.
NOTE: Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requires the use of a cable clamp for

soldered connections to unsupported leads.

Electrical Power
and Hydraulic
Tools. (Core
5. Inserting Contact into Housing
Contacts should never be forced into housing. If the contact does not fit
easily, check the contact barrel for distortion. Replace the barrel if it is
distorted or shows signs of wear or damage.
Safety rules in using hydraulic crimpers
 Ensure that die is mounted securely on threading machine.

 Keep die flooded with cutting oil during operation.
 Keep hands, clothing and hair away from rotating parts.

Power Tool Safety Rules
Safety, within the shop and beyond, is an ongoing concern for every electrician.
To avoid accidents, power tool operators must be knowledgeable and thoroughly
prepared. Inexperienced, untrained, and unprepared operators can be injured
within minutes of attempting to use a power tool.
Every tool has its rules and precautions that apply to it. In the case of power
tools, many of these are the same for each tool every time. Learn these by heart
and you’ll always be off to a safe start.
 Always read, understand and follow the Instruction Manual before

attempting to use any power tool in any way. Also read the nameplate
information and follow the warning labels on the tool itself.
 Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields. Use a dust
mask for dusty operations, and wear hearing protection if you’ll be using the
tool for an extended period of time.
 Dress right, and remember that looks don’t count. No loose-fitting clothing,
no neckties, no jewelry, no dangling objects of any kind. Long hair must be
tied back out of your way. Non-slip footwear is recommended.
 Make sure your work area is neat and clean and free of any debris that
might get in your way or be ignited by hot tools, chips or sparks.
 Make sure your work area has plenty of bright, shadow-free light.
 Before you plug in any power tool, make sure the power switch is off.
 Be sure all appropriate guards are in place and working.
 Always turn off and unplug the tool before you make any adjustments or
change 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.

Electrical Power
and Hydraulic
Tools. (Core
 Never use a tool that is damaged or malfunctioning in any way.
 Need an extension cord? Make sure it’s a heavy-duty cord and don’t use
indoor rated cords outside. 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.
 Make sure cutters or blades are clean, sharp and securely in place. Never
use bent, broken, or warped blades or cutters.
 Never overreach when using a power tool. Stay firmly planted on both feet.
 Never rush what you are doing. Always pay close attention. Don’t let
anything distract you. Think ahead!
 When using hand-held power tools, always keep a firm grip with both
hands. Losing control creates a hazardous situation. Do not use any tool
that is too heavy for you to easily control.
 Always use the right tool for the right job. No substitutions allowed!
 Always unplug, clean and store the tool in a safe, dry place when you are
finished using it.
Portable Power Tool Safety
It is estimated that about 8% of industrial accidents involve the unsafe use of

hand tools (both manual and power). These accidents result from using the wrong
tool for the job (or using the right tool incorrectly), failing to wear personal
protective equipment, or failing to follow approved safety guidelines.
The following checklist provides some basic rules for the safe use of portable
power tools. Take a moment to review this list, and use the tips here whenever you
use a portable power tool--on or off the job.
Power Tool Rules
 Use your tool only for the specific task it was designed to do.
 Read the owner's manual before using your tool.
 Never use any tool--power or manual--unless you are trained to do so.
 Inspect before each use and replace or repair if parts are worn or damaged.
 Inspect screws, nuts, bolts and moveable parts to make sure they are
tightened.
 Before plugging or unplugging tools, be sure power switch is turned "OFF."
 Never disconnect power by pulling on the cord--remove the plug from the
outlet.
 Never clean or repair a tool unless power is disconnected. (Repair tools only
if you are trained to do so.)
 When working on ladders or scaffolding, rest power tools on a flat surface or
in a bin secured to the ladder itself. ( A falling tool can seriously injure a
coworker or bystander.)

Taking Care of Electric Tools: Basic Maintenance Tips
To ensure that your electric tools work when you need them to, you must take
proper care of them. A good maintenance for your tools is one thing that you can
do to make sure that the tool you need is working when you need it.
Clean out the Dust
To make sure that your electric tools are ready to go when you are, keep them
clean and free of dust. The housing intake on your electric tools and the exhaust
are especially important areas to keep clean. Take some time to clean out the
dust every once in a while on your tools while they are sitting in storage.
Check the Cords
Look for wear and tear on the power cords on your electric tools. There can be
damage to the insulation and you should keep an eye out for loose wires. This will
ensure that your electric tool can get the power that it needs to function without
an accident. Wipe the cords down to keep them from becoming damaged from oil

Electrical Power
and Hydraulic
Tools. (Core
and grease. The prongs on the cords should be examined as well. Make sure that
the casing is intact and the prongs are not loose.
Oil Some Electric Tools
The electric tools in your toolbox that have a cutting surface should be lightly oiled
to prevent rust. Examine the cutting surface for rust to make sure that your tools
are kept in good condition.
Storing Your Tools
Keep your electric tools stored in their original cases and containers. This will
keep them free of dust and dirt while they are not being used.
The proper care of your electric tools is the key to making sure that they last for
many years.
Buying good quality power tools will also guarantee that they will last. Use the
brand names that you know and trust when it is time to buy new power tools. A
little research of consumer reviews will give you a good indication of which tool is
the best for your use.
Only use your tools for the job they were intended. Using a tool to perform a task
that it was not intended to do is a sure way to break it. Cutting tools should only
be used to cut the materials they were designed to cut. Keep blades sharp and
ready to go so that the tool does not have to work as hard to cut a single item.
Power tools don’t come cheap and there’s nothing worse than spending a lot on a
new drill just to have it fixed a year later. No matter what the purpose is, at the
end of the day they get the job done efficiently and that’s what counts the most.
For that we need to take special care of the tools that we are using. You should
take some regular maintenance precautions in order to keep your tools in top
condition.
Another important reason to perform regular maintenance is to keep yourself safe.

A rusty blade or broken gear can cause you a serious injury. Never turn on a
power tool if you think it has been damaged.
To help prevent problems from occurring, it’s important to keep your tools in a
clean, dry area, away from dust and moisture. Dirt can get trapped in mechanisms
and either slowing them down or stopping them altogether. Too much moisture
can cause rust, which can easily destroy the power tools. This is especially true if
they are battery powered.
Power tool batteries should be checked often for leaks and changed according to
factory specifications (unless they are Li-ion or Ni-Cd batteries and maintenance

Electrical Power
and Hydraulic
Tools. (Core
free).
Electrical cords and plugs should also be examined for damage before using.
(Unless your power tool is cordless and rechargeable)
Lubricate your power tool as often as needed. This helps maintain clean movement
and also can prevent rusting. Oiling keeps your equipment running smoothly
and should be performed often. It’s inexpensive to buy and can add years of life to
your power tools.
If a problem happens and you’re unsure of how to fix at it, either call the
manufacturer or have a professional look at it.
There are several steps you can take to help you get maximum performance from
your power tool’s battery.
 Prevent the Memory Effect – Keep the power tool battery healthy by fully
charging and then fully discharging it at least once every two to three weeks.
Exceptions to the rule are Li-Ion batteries which do not usually suffer from
the memory effect.
 Keep them Clean – It’s a good idea to clean dirty battery contacts with a
cotton swab and alcohol. This helps maintain a good connection between
the battery and the portable device.
 Exercise the Battery – Do not leave the battery dormant for long periods of
time. We recommend using the battery at least once every two to three
weeks. If a power tool battery has not been used for a long period of time,
perform the new battery break in procedure described above.
 Battery Storage – If you don’t plan on using the battery for a month or
more, store it in a clean, dry, cool place away from heat and metal objects.
Maintenance Tips For Portable Power Tools
1. Read your owner’s manual carefully before operating any tool.
2. Do not use a tool if any of its parts is loose or damaged; inspect blades, bits,
and accessories before starting an operation.
3. Keep blades and bits clean and sharp; discard any that are chipped or
damaged.
4. Turn a tool off if it produces an unfamiliar vibration or noise; have the tool
serviced before resuming operations.
5. Do not leave a tool running when it is unattended.
6. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to change blades, bits, or accessories;

unplug the tool first.
7. Before cutting, shaping, or sanding a work piece, remove loose knots using a
hammer; inspect salvaged wood for nails and screws before cutting.

Electrical Power
and Hydraulic
Tools. (Core
8. Do not attempt to cut through nails; this can cause kickback and also ruin a
blade or bit.
9. Use the appropriate wire gauge when replacing a damaged power cord or using
an extension cord.
10. Keep the power cord out of the tool’s path; do not use the tool if the cord is
frayed.
11. Make sure the blade or bit is not in contact with the work piece when you turn
on a tool; allow the cutter to come to full speed before feeding it into the stock.
12. Do not force a tool through a cut; this can snap a blade or cause it to veer off
course. Allow the blade or bit to cut at its own speed.
13. Make sure that any keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool
before turning it on.
14. Keep a tool’s air vents clear of sawdust to avoid overheating the motor.
15. Do not use a tool for extended periods of time without allowing it to cool.
The power tools have become popular because of their efficiency and durability.
Such tools do not come for lower price. The price tag of these tools is little bit on
the higher side. Therefore if you want to make full use of the machines to justify
its cost, you need to maintain them properly and regularly.
Some tools require day-to-day oiling. So putting a few drops of oil can keep your
machines in good state. Enquire whether the machines you are using require
regular oiling and use the recommended type of oil for that purpose.
If you have many modern day tools for your business use, then get them checked
regularly by the professionals. Bigger tools require timely repairs. The tools are the
most effective as well as the most dangerous tools. You have to follow all the safety
procedures to avoid any mishaps. Change the part, if required. This way the
chances of malfunctioning of the tools lessen.
Watch out for rusty or broken parts as they may cause severe injury to you or to
people around you. Always keep your tools in dry area and safeguard them from
exposure to water. Clean the dust particles, if any, from the tools. In case of
corded tools, do not try to find out the fault with the equipment attached to the
power supply. It can increase your powered tools' longevity and efficiency & it will
also help minimize the chances of accidents. It is a good idea to spend some time
finding reviews before buying tools.
