Study Notes

Fasteners and Tools

A nut is typically used with a washer to secure bolts.
A socket tool is used to tighten bolts efficiently.
Hacksaws are recommended for cutting bolts.

Equipment Operations

Using a larger gear results in increased speed during operation.
When threading a bolt, ensure the threaded end points away to avoid hazards.
Stop and alert a mechanic if encountering unmelted material.
The hopper adjusts the material flow without affecting the speed of the belt.

Water Systems

Clogged green filters will cause water to overflow.
If the water tank rises too quickly, reduce the intake of fresh water.

Washing Techniques

Washing materials in a shake motion ensures all sides are cleaned.
A washing station with one pipe and one spout generates the most pressure.

Machine Maintenance

To remove a molding station arm, loosen the middle nut before removing the end nut.
If a grinder jams, it can be reversed manually to resolve the issue.

Emergency and Communication Protocols

In a life-threatening emergency, prioritize patient care over comments from bystanders.
Do not overreact to minor issues; trust the team to handle them.
If facing confrontation, requesting police assistance may help de-escalate the situation.

Team Dynamics

Confidence in conflict resolution is essential; always convey the ability to work through issues.
Stay neutral and avoid negative comments about coworkers.
Team representatives such as Shorty, Robin, Lola, and Ramone perform well in public situations, while Jason and Ramone are noted as less effective.

Operational Guidelines

Ensure all power switches are closed and connected to be operational.
Instruments must be in the green zone for optimal performance.
Persist with practice if lacking skill in certain areas.

Patient Care Engagement

For family concerns interrupting care, directly address the patient rather than confronting relatives.
Unattended wallets on scene should be given to a supervisor without unnecessary alarm.

Drilling and Fastening Techniques

Use a sleek high-speed drill bit for drilling a half-inch hole in metal.
To attach a sign to sheet metal, a rounded head screw provides a snug fit.
