    Study Notes

    Electrical Tools

    • Operated by electricity, using either alternating (AC) or direct current (DC) sources.
    • Examples include belt sanders and circular saws.

    Pneumatic Tools

    • Powered by compressed air from gasoline or electric compressors.
    • Common examples are air hammers and pneumatic nailers.

    Hydraulic Tools

    • Utilizes fluid pressure produced by hand or electric pumps.
    • Typical tools include pipe benders, jackhammers, and Porta-Powers.

    Electric Grill Safety

    • Use double-insulated electrical power tools with ground fault protection to mitigate electric shock risks.
    • Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) devices enhance safety by preventing electrical current flow during faults.
    • Ensure drill bits are securely tightened and keep the drill’s air vent clear to maintain safety and performance.

    Pneumatic Drills

    • Operate using compressed air fed through an air hose.
    • Similar in components and uses to electric drills, ideal for environments without electricity.

    Circular Saws

    • Feature a rigid plastic guard to protect users from debris and the spinning blade.

    Saber Saws (Jig Saws)

    • Equipped with fine blades, ideal for delicate tasks, including intricate cuts in wood and soft metals.

    Safety Checklist

    • Always ensure the switch of power tools, such as saws, is in the OFF position before plugging into an outlet.

    Power Miter Saw

    • Combines the functions of a miter box with a circular saw for making straight and miter cuts.

    Angle Grinders

    • Known as side grinders, these tools are designed for grinding hard materials and surfaces, including pipes and welds.

    Bench Grinders

    • Must use adjustable tool rests for support while grinding, with a maximum gap of 1/8 inch from the tool rest to the wheel.

    Pneumatically Powered Nailer

    • Important to read the manufacturer's instructions prior to use.
    • Incorporate maintenance steps such as adding oil to the air inlet before operation.
    • Always disconnect the air hose before attempting repairs if the nailer malfunctions.

    Air Impact Wrench

    • Ensure body stance is balanced when using to maintain control and safety.
