Introductory Message
Welcome to TLE 7/8 – ICT (Technical Drafting)!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of San Carlos City and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western
Visayas through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible
adults) in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education
Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The TLE 7/8 - ICT (Technical Drafting) Activity Sheet will help you facilitate
the leaching-learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning
Competency (MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and
learner. This will be made available to the learners with the references/links to ease
the independent learning.

For the learner:

The TLE 7/8 - ICT (Technical Drafting) Activity Sheet is developed to help you
continue learning even if you are not in school. This learning material provides you
with meaningful and engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active
learner, carefully read and understand the instructions then perform the activities and
answer the assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed
schedule.

Maintain Hand Tools, Drawing Instruments, Equipment, and Paraphernalia

I. Learning Competency
LO 1. Maintain hand tools, drawing instruments, equipment, and
Paraphernalia (TLE_ICTTD 7/8MT-0b-1)
1.1 Perform safety procedures in maintaining hand tools, drawing
instruments, equipment, and paraphernalia.
1.2 Follow procedures in cleaning, tightening and simple repair of hand
tools, drawing instruments, equipment, and paraphernalia.
1.3 Identify common malfunction (unplanned or unusual events) when
using tools, drawing instruments, equipment, and paraphernalia.

II. Background Information for Learners

Performing Safety Procedures in Maintaining Hand Tools and other
drawing instruments
The following are some essential tips to take proper care of the drafting tools,
materials, and equipment.

1. Before starting any drawing, be sure to keep the hands clean and free from
dirt.
2. Maintain the cleanliness of the working area, especially the drawing table as
well as your hand tools.
3. Avoid dropping your tools and equipment.
4. Wipe off the surface and edges of triangles and T-squares before and after
using them.
5. Sharpen and store your pencils properly after use.
6. Find or create an organizer where you can hang your measuring tools.
7. Have a separate container for making tools.
8. Keep your drawing sheets in a plastic tube to protect them from dust and dirt.
9. Never lend or borrow drafting tools and materials if possible.
10. Pencils should be sharpened whenever they show sign of dullness.
11. Never use the edge of T-square and triangles to cut paper along its working
edges. A slight nick at the edge will ruin the T-square.
12. After using the tools, instruments and equipment, clean them first before
keeping in a safe place.
13. Tools can be kept in anything that keeps them organized and safe during
transport.
14. Drawings are best stored in flat files, lateral files, round tubes, or portfolios.
 Procedures in cleaning, tightening and simple repair of hand tools, drawing
instruments, equipment and paraphernalia

In doing simple repair of tools, make sure that you are knowledgeable in doing
so. Repairing tools without sufficient skills may result to further damage or inflict
injuries to the fixer. Small repairs like tightening, sharpening and changing of handles
may not require special skills to do. If a tool or equipment is beyond repair, it must be
disposed properly.

Before cleaning any tool, be sure to wear the proper personal protective
equipment. Personal protective equipment, commonly referred to as "PPE", is an
equipment worn to minimize exposure to hazards that cause serious workplace
injuries and illnesses. Gloves, masks and goggles are usually worn when cleaning
tools since most cleaning agents and solutions are harmful to the human body.

Cleaning Procedures:
1. Before cleaning any tool, be sure to wear the proper Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) ex. gloves, mask, and goggles are usually worn when
cleaning tools since most cleaning agent and solutions are harmful to the
human body.
2. Only use cleaning agents as prescribed by the tool or equipment’s
manufacturer.
3. Cleaning the tools after use is highly recommended.
4. After using a tool, clean it thoroughly with a damp cloth. Wipe it dry with
another piece of cloth before keeping it.
5. When not in use, the T-square is preferably hung by inserting the hole to a
nail (attached to a wall) at the end of its blade.

Tightening Procedures:
1. Lubricants must be applied after tightening to avoid rusting.
2. Only use the prescribed tool when tightening and loosing.
3. After cleaning, use an all-purpose oil to lubricate tools with adjustable part.

Simple Repair Procedures:

1. Work area must always be kept neat and tidy.
2. Put oil on the movable parts of the measuring tools such as zigzag ruler,
calipers, dividers, and compasses to avoid stock-up.
3. Avoid unnecessary sliding of T-square or triangles to protect the drawing. Pick
up the triangle by its tip and tilt the T-square blade upward slightly before
moving.
4. If your tools already show signs of rust, spray the tools with oil and then scrub
them with steel wool or a stiff wire brush.
5. Afterwards, wash them with warm, soapy water and scrub them again with a
cloth or rag until all signs of rust are gone.
6. All tools and equipment must be placed in a clean and dry place.
 Common Malfunction in Hand tools, Equipment and Paraphernalia

Malfunctions and other unplanned and unusual event may not be totally
eliminated, but they can surely be minimized. Listed below are some of malfunctions
and unplanned events when using the different tools in completing job requirements.

1. When the screwdriver is not properly aligned with the drive of the screw’s
head. This happens when using a driving tool, screws may slip the tip of the
screwdriver. This can be minimized by making sure that the tip of the screwdriver is
well secured in the drive of the screw’s head. Using a screwdriver with a magnetized
tip can also help minimize this type of malfunction.

2. The jaws of the pliers are blunt, thus making it hard to hold on things. This
usually happens when small objects tend to fall down when being held by a gripping
tool like pliers. This can be prevented by making sure that gripping tools have well
maintained jaws that can grasp objects properly.

3. The heads of striking tools separating away from the handle. The use of
striking tools also imposes a great threat if there will be a malfunction. Common
hazards can cause severe injuries to anyone. To avoid
this type of accident, the handle of a striking tool must be tightly attached to its head.

4. A cutting tool is not sharp enough. Mishaps in using cutting tools are also
dangerous. They may arise from slippage of the material to be cut. These unplanned
events will cause laceration and wounds to the user. To avoid this, cutting tools must
always be kept sharp.

Common Faults in Using Hand Tools

 Do not increase the handle length of pliers to gain more leverage. Use a
larger pair of pliers or bolt cutters if necessary.
 Do not substitute pliers for a wrench when turning bolts and nuts. Pliers
cannot grip these items properly and might cause a slip and create an
accident.
 Never use pliers as a hammer on the handle. Such abuse is likely to result in
cracks or breaks.
 Cut hardened wires only with pliers designed for that purpose.
 Always cut the wires in right angle. Never rock from side to side or bend wire
back and forth against the cutting edges.
 Never use screwdrivers as a pry bar, chisel, and punch stirrer or scraper.
 Never use screwdrivers with broken or worn-out handles. Screwdriver of
these kinds should have tags to indicate that it is defective.
 Never use pliers on a screwdriver for extra leverage. Only use wrench or
screwdrivers specifically designed for purpose.
 Do not use dull blades because they require more force, thus are more likely
to slip. Replace the blade when it starts to “tear” instead of cut.
 Never leave a knife unattended with the blade exposed.
 Don’t bend or apply side loads to blades by using them to open cans or
loosen tight cover of containers. Blades are brittle and can snap easily.
