Study Notes

Standards and Tool Control

International standards are produced by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO)
Documented standards consult several stakeholders
Tool control affects safety, and its importance is emphasized in aircraft maintenance

Tool Care and Maintenance

Tools are designed to make work easier and more efficient
Tools must be properly used and cared for to maintain their advantages
Choose the correct tool for the job to ensure quick, accurate, and safe work
Preventative maintenance prolongs the usefulness of tools
Use each tool only for its intended purpose to avoid damage or injury
Keep tools clean and free from dirt, grease, and foreign matter
Organize tools to easily access frequently used ones
Avoid accumulating unnecessary tools

Safety Precautions for Tool Use

Never leave tools scattered about or on top of machinery or electrical equipment
Avoid using damaged tools, as they can cause injury or damage
Clean tools after each use to prevent slips and accidents
Conductor a thorough inventory of tools after use to prevent loss
Remember, improper tool use results in improper maintenance, which can lead to damage and injury

Toolbox Organisation and Safety Risks

Organise tools for easy access to frequently used ones
Avoid accumulating unnecessary tools
Tool control affects safety, and misplaced tools can cause damage or injury
Foreign object damage (FOD) costs the global aerospace industry $4 billion annually

Punches and Chisels

Hit punches squarely and keep their heads free of burrs to prevent mushrooming
Remove mushroom shapes from punches using a bench grinder
Prick punches are used to transfer dimensions and locations onto sheet metal for drilling
Avoid using prick punches to drive pins or rivets from holes

Files and Filing

Familiarise yourself with the parts of a file: tang, heel, faces, edges, point, and back
Files can be used for roughing or finishing processes
The rate of cutting and surface finish depend on the depth and spacing of the file's cutting teeth
Different cuts and types of files are suited for working on different metals
Common cuts include rough, middle, bastard, second cut, smooth, and dead smooth
