Study Notes

Basic Hand Tools and Introduction to OHS

  • A tool is any instrument or equipment used to perform a specific task.
  • A hand tool is operated manually, without a motor or electricity.
    • Examples include pliers, side cutters, wire strippers, and soldering irons.
  • A power tool is operated using an electric source or battery.
    • Examples include power drills and saws.
  • Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is the area of concern for protecting workers' safety, health, and wellbeing in the workplace.

5S in the Workplace

  • 5S is a workplace organization methodology originating in Japan.
    • Aims to create a more efficient and organized work environment.
    • Focuses on reducing waste and improving productivity.
  • The 5S Method involves five steps – sorted, set in order, shine, standardize, and sustain.
    • Seiri (Sort): Removing unnecessary items to keep only needed ones.
    • Seiton (Set in Order): Arranging items in a logical order for easy access.
    • Seiso (Shine): Regularly cleaning the workspace to maintain a tidy environment.
    • Seiketsu (Standardize): Establishing standardized practices and procedures to maintain organization and cleanliness.
    • Shitsuke (Sustain): Maintaining discipline and motivation to uphold standards.

Reading Resistor Color Codes

  • A resistor is a component that regulates current flow.
  • Resistor Color Codes are markings used to visually represent the resistance value of a resistor.
  • Different coloured bands correspond to different resistance values and tolerances.

Basic Soldering

  • Soldering is joining metal parts by melting solder around the connection.
  • Solder is a metal alloy used as a connecting medium.
  • A soldering iron is a hand tool used to heat the solder.

Resistance Calculation & Multimeter Reading

  • Resistance is the amount of opposition to current flow.
  • Multimeter is a device that measures both AC and DC voltage, resistance, and current.
  • When using a multimeter to measure resistance, select a resistance range at least one step higher than the expected resistance value to measure accurately.
