1. Introduction to workshop safety
1.1 Recognize and understand the Safety rules for the workshops and accident prevention:
Millions of workers die, get injured or fall ill every year as a result of workplace hazards including falling down stairs, slipping on
wet floors, hitting or being hit by objects, breathing in dangerous fumes, getting an electric shock and getting burnt or killed in a
fire.
Improving occupational health and safety is in the best interests of all employers and workers.
Definitions:
Health: The general condition of a person’s mind, body and spirit, meaning to be free from illness, injury or pain.
Health and Safety: The protection of the safety, health and welfare of people.
Hazard: Anything that might cause harm.
Risk: The chance of harm being done.
Engineering workshops have tools, materials and machines that could cause serious injuries if people do not act safely.
Safety is the most important part of any workshop activity and it is essential that you fully understand and follow the correct
safety precautions.
We will look at workshop rules that you must follow and at the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that you should use when
starting any workshop task.

2.1- Use the correct PPE -Personal safety. https://www.youtube.com/user/SafetyMemos
In engineering we wear specialized Personal Protective Equipment for each task. For example in welding we need to wear special masks
and clothing to protect us from the hazards of extreme heat, sparks and bright light.
In workshop technology you will need to protect yourself from hazards such as sharp objects, heavy objects falling from benches,
and moving machinery.

3.1 Use the hand tools safely and correctly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbdeOIKS7jE
Hand tools are extensions of our hands. When we misuse our hands, we experience pain. When we misuse hand tools, the possibility of
injury to ourselves or people working around us increases considerably. Furthermore, using a tool incorrectly can damage the tool or
even cause the tool to fail. Here are some guidelines for hand tool safety:
1. Use the Right Tool for the Job.
2. Use Insulated Tools When Needed.
3. Use Well-Designed, High-Quality Tools.
4. Follow General Safety and Maintenance Practices
You will learn to use many tools in the workshop. You must listen to the instructor when he tells you how to use them safely. If you
do not understand, asks your instructor, do not ask your friend.

3-Select and maintain measuring tools, Vernier caliper and steel rule
A steel ruler is a measuring tool made of stainless steel sheet. The lines are engraved on the ruler, on the upper and lower sides.
There are six different nominal lengths of the common steel ruler: 150, 300, 500 (600), 1000, 1500, and 2000 mm. The square
end of the ruler is the working edge. The other end is semi-circular, with a suspension hole at its center. The metric steel rule is
divided into millimetres (mm) and centimetres (cm). Use the correct scale.

-Describe the main parts of Vernier calipers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hlNi0jdoeQ
It is a very useful tool to use when measuring the diameter of a round objects like cylinders because the measuring jaws can be
secured on either side of the circumference. Vernier calipers have both a fixed main scale and a moving Vernier scale. The main
scale is graduated in either millimeters or tenths of an inch. The Vernier scale allows much more precise readings to be taken
(Usually to the nearest 0.05mm) some Vernier calipers come with 0.02mm accuracy.

Reading the Vernier caliper to an accuracy of 0.05 mm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hlNi0jdoeQ
The accuracy of the 20 division Vernier is 0.05 mm. Make a reading in 2 parts.
Take one reading from the main scale, and one reading from the Vernier scale.
The exact point where lines on the main scale and Vernier scale meet is called the ‘point of coincidence’.
Example:
= 24mm + 0.15mm
= 24.15 mm

2. Scribers:
A scriber is a hand tool used in metalworking to mark lines on work pieces, prior to machining. Made from hardened steel with sharp points at each
end.
Center punch is used as an aid to drilling operations. A center punch forms an indent in which the tip of the drill will fit. A center
prick punch is used to make small indentations along scribed lines; a prick Punch has a point angle of 60°.
29
EMM410- G9-Term1 A.A-version 01-2018/2019
4. Letter stamps or number stamps:
These are used to print a letter or number into a work piece.
2. Engineer’s square:
It is used for checking the straightness of a workpiece. It can also be used for marking perpendicular lines onto a workpiece.
30
EMM410- G9-Term1 A.A-version 01-2018/2019
6. Surface plate:
The surface plate has a high degree of flatness. The flat surface is being used as a datum surface for marking out and for
measuring purposes. These are essential for accurate marking out. They have metal tops which have been accurately machined flat.
To maintain their accuracy take the following care:
DO NOT
1- Place anything on it that would damage the surface.
2- Drop tools on the surface.
3- Do not hammer on the surface.
4- Do not centre punch on the surface.
7. Angle plate:
The angle plate is used to assist in holding the workpiece perpendicular to the table. The angle plate is provided with holes and
slots to enable the secure attachment or clamping of workpieces.
31
EMM410- G9-Term1 A.A-version 01-2018/2019
8. Spring dividers:
The spring dividers are used for scribing arcs and circles as shown or marking off lengths onto a workpiece.
The ball-peen hammer: The crowned, or rounded, edge (hemispherical head) works metal smoothly without marking it. The other
end of the hammer can be used to strike punches and chisels
32
EMM410- G9-Term1 A.A-version 01-2018/2019
10-odd-leg caliper:-
The odd-leg Calipers are manufactured from polished tool steel and have a large headed nut and screw assembly that provides a
firm and rigid friction joint, with no play. The leg which holds the round adjustable hardened point is offset and has a locating spur
on the straight leg.
33
EMM410- G9-Term1 A.A-version 01-2018/2019
Carry out all marking off/out to the specifications using appropriate tools and equipment
Preparation of surfaces.
To help show up a line more clearly use one of the following methods. Surfaces may be brushed with a suitable marking out solution. For
machined surfaces use marking blue.
Marking out.
Set the Vernier height gauge the correct measurement supported against a vee block or angle plate.
With the datum face of the work piece set in contact with the surface table, and the work piece held firmly against the vee block or angle
plate, scribe a line along the work. The point of the scriber should trail the base of the Vernier height gauge to prevent it digging into the
work. Always pull the Vernier height gauge, do not push it.
34
EMM410- G9-Term1 A.A-version 01-2018/2019
Establish a datum point and mark out accurately following an engineering drawing.
https://l2teautomotive.wikispaces.com/file/view/MARKING-OUT+TOOLS+INFORMATION+SHEETS+MEL02INF4436+v1.2.pdf
A datum is a line, point or edge from which measurements are taken. It must be noted that if marking out is not undertaken from datum,
errors in dimensions may accumulate as shown in Fig. below.
It is also necessary to use a measuring instrument which can provide the degree of accuracy required for the workpiece e.g. using
a rule and scribing block may only have an accuracy of 0.5 mm. If the tolerance on the dimension is 0.02 mm then this method of
marking out is clearly unsuitable.
35
EMM410- G9-Term1 A.A-version 01-2018/2019
Transfer the dimensions correctly and appropriate calculations are used where required
Example 01:-
Steps
1. Scribe centre line.

The standard hacksaw blade is nominally 12 inches long (actually 12 3/8 inches). Ten-inch blades are also made, and the typical
hacksaw frame is adjustable to take blades 8, 10 or 12 inches long
45
EMM410- G9-Term1 A.A-version 01-2018/2019
Blade offset
The teeth are ‘offset’ to prevent the blade from jamming when cutting the metal.
Blade pitch
A fine pitch blade has more teeth per 25 mm than a coarse pitch blade.

EMM410- G9-Term1 A.A-version 01-2018/2019
Correctly use a file to remove metal and achieve a desired shape and finish.
Working position
It is important to stand correctly. Your legs should take your weight and keep you balanced at all times.
54
EMM410- G9-Term1 A.A-version 01-2018/2019
Preparing a file for use
Push the tang a little way into the handle. Gently tap the file on the bench, as shown below, until the tang fits securely inside the
handle. Care should be taken not to split the handle.
Safe edge
Some files have a safe edge, this lets you file without damaging another finished surface.

EMM410- G9-Term1 A.A-version 01-2018/2019
Identify different types of hammers and their uses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hei2WecZIks
A hammer consists of a steel head fitted to a wood shaft. The striking face and pein are hardened and tempered. The shaft must be the
correct size for the head. It must fit the head and be secured by a wedge driven into the end of the shaft making it a tight fit.
56
EMM410- G9-Term1 A.A-version 01-2018/2019
Using various hammers safety:
Hold the hammer in a firm grip at the end of the shaft.
Hammers are used with other tools such as punches and chisels. A hammer can be used in direct contact with the work, such as
shaping metals, forming joints, and riveting. Hammers, mallets, and sledges are used to apply a striking force. The tool you select
will depend upon the intended application. Machinists' hammers are mostly used by people who work with metal or around
machinery. The ball-peen hammer, as its name implies, has a ball that is smaller in diameter than the face. It is
therefore useful for striking areas that are too small for the face to enter.
Special hammers
Soft hammers are used when you need to prevent damage to finished surfaces.
The heads may be made of materials such as:
1. hide (animal skin)
2. rubber
3. plastic
4. brass
5. copper
6. lead
57
EMM410- G9-Term1 A.A-version 01-2018/2019
Mallets and Sledges: The mallet is a short-handled tool used to drive wooden-handled chisels, gouges, and wooden pins, or to form or
shape sheet metal where hard-faced
hammers would mar or damage the finished work. Mallet heads are made from a soft material, usually wood, rawhide, or rubber. For
example, a rubber-faced mallet is used for knocking out dents in an automobile. It is cylindrically shaped with two flat driving faces that
are reinforced with iron bands. Never use a mallet to drive nails, screws, or any other object that can damage the face of the mallet.

EMM410- G9-Term1 A.A-version 01-2018/2019
Identify and describe various types of cold chisel:
A chisel is a hand-held tool used to make cuts in material. Different types of chisel exist to be used on different materials. A chisel is
usually used in conjunction with a hammer.
Use of a chisel: The cold chisel is a general purpose cutting tool Used:
2. To cut slots.
60
EMM410- G9-Term1 A.A-version 01-2018/2019
Parts of a chisel:
Chisels have a hardened and tempered cutting edge. The body and the head are soft to avoid fracture when struck by a hammer.
The chisel has its cutting edge across its full width. The final cutting edge has a combined angle of 60° and is slightly rounded across
the face.
61
EMM410- G9-Term1 A.A-version 01-2018/2019
Chisel cutting action:
When using a chisel on work held in a vice, the cutting action should always be towards the fixed jaw of the vice, and towards the
chip screen of the workbench.
1. Flat chisel: The most widely known type, which is used to cut bars and rods to reduce surfaces and to cut sheet metal that,
is too thick or difficult to cut with tin snips.
2. The cross cut/cape chisel: is used for cutting grooves and slots. The blade narrows behind the cutting edge to provide
clearance.
3. The round nose chisel: is used for cutting semi-circular grooves for oil ways in bearings.
4. The diamond point chisel: is used for cleaning out corners or difficult places and pulling over center punch marks wrongly
placed for drilling.
5. The half round chisel: used for making narrow channels

Identify and recognize the Safety precautions required when using cold chisels:
After a period of time, the hammer blows will cause the head to become Mushroom shaped. This will have sharp edges that will cut
through skin and could also cause the hammer to slip off the head of the chisel. Before this happens the head should be re-ground to
its original shape.
Wear safety glasses or goggles, or a face shield (with safety glasses or goggles).
Use the tools only if they are good condition (i.e., cutting edges are sharp, struck head is not mushroomed or chipped).
Hold the chisel, for shearing and chipping, at an angle which permits the bevel of the cutting edge to lie flat against the shearing
plane. Never chip towards your own body or towards any other person.
Provide hand protection
Always clean up the chippings when the task is complete.

Cold chisel maintenance and care:
As with every other tool, it is important to look after, maintain and store your chisels correctly.
It is important to keep your chisels sharpened correctly. How sharp you keep them may vary depending on the type of chisel and what
you are using it for.
Rust may also become a problem on some chisels. However, it can be removed by wiping the chisel
with an emery cloth, and then using a little oil to give the chisel greater protection from rust in the
future.
What is mushrooming?
Mushrooming is the phenomenon that occurs when a tool which is struck with a hammer deforms, (as seen in the picture) spreading out
into a mushroom shape and eventually rolling back onto itself. Mushrooming can cause serious problems as the metal can splinter,
injuring the user.
It is therefore advised that you grind down these mushroomed heads regularly to keep them from becoming hazardous,
However, a user can often grind the head of their chisel, producing a chamfered head.

It is possible to buy cold chisels in sets which may come with a tool roll or case to store them in. However, because of the varying sizes of
builders' and cold chisels, it may not be possible to store larger chisels and bolsters in these rolls, When storing them, you may wish to
place a piece of split hosepipe over the cutting edge of your chisels.

Suggested practical task 02: [15marks]
In this practical task students have to use the workpieces they did in the practical task01 as a base, part one (the base of the second
piece) then they have to make part two.
Part 01: students have to search from the internet or from their imagination to make their second workpiece. Students can select any
shape.
Steps:
1. Students have to search from the internet or from their imagination (any shape can be done by using sheet metal) to make their
second workpiece. Students can select any shape. They have to sketch or print their selected shape on A4 paper .the size of the
shape depend on the teacher approval.
2. Students have to copy their shape on the aluminum (steel or brass) sheet for this purpose they can use scriber; permanent
marker .they can use center punch to make contour around the shape.
3. Hacksaw around the outline of the marked shape. Use file to remove metal and achieve a desired shape.
4. Cut a slot in the first piece, use chisel and hammer to fix the figure in the base.
Note: Teachers have the right to reject any idea.
Suggested ideas:
Steel rule, Vernier caliper, Spring dividers, engineers square, square file, bench vice, center punch,
letter punch, scriber, hacksaw, ball peen hammer, soft jaws, pillar drill, machine vice, safety goggles,
drill bit, chisel
