Study Notes
Hydraulic Tools and Power Sources
- Porta-Power® is classified as a hydraulic tool.
- AC (alternating current) is exemplified by a wall receptacle.
- DC (direct current) flows in one direction, such as from a battery.
Power Tool Safety and Usage
- Power tools must be operated using a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) to prevent electrical shock.
- Always ensure the power switch is OFF before plugging in any saw.
- The first step when using a pneumatic nailer for the first time is to read the manufacturer's instructions.
Types of Saws and Drills
- A power miter saw integrates a circular saw with a miter box.
- Saws with fine blades ideal for intricate cutting are known as saber saws.
- Pneumatic drills are utilized when there’s no electric power supply.
- Drill bits are secured in place by chucks.
Tool Maintenance and Operation
- Before drilling, check that the drill bit is properly tightened in the chuck.
- Maintain the drill's air vent cleanliness with a small brush.
- Pneumatic nailers require oil in the air inlet after each use to function correctly.
General Safety Procedures
- Never engage the trigger lock on power tools.
- For tools like pneumatic nailers, always disconnect the air hose before troubleshooting.
- Do not use circular saws lacking an upper blade guard, as it provides essential protection.
- The adjustable tool rest on a bench grinder should be set to 1/8 inch from the wheel for safety.
Important Operational Measures
- Keep a balanced body stance when using an air wrench to maintain control and stability.
- Regular checks and maintenance of tool components, such as bits and blades, should always be preceded by disconnecting the power source.
