CHAPTER 1 COMMON MAINTENANCE TOOLS AND THEIR USES Tools are designed to make a job easier and enable you to work more efflciently. If they are not properly used and cared for, their advantages are lost to you. Regardless of the type of work to be done, you must have, choose, and use the correct tools in order to do your work quickly, accurately, and safely. Without the proper tools and the knowledge of how to use them, you waste time, reduce your efficiency, and may even injure yourself. This chapter explains the specific purposes, correct use, and proper care of the more common tools you will encounter as an ABE. Also discussed briefly are other aids to maintenance, such as blueprints and schematics. Upon completing this chapter, you should be able to do the following: Identify, select, use, maintain, and inventory the tools required to perform maintenance on catapults and arresting gear. Explain the various methods of conducting inventories and maintaining tools in support of the tool control program. Recognize, describe, and interpret tool safety procedures. Recognize, describe, and interpret the various types- of blueprints, electrical prints, piping prints, and aperture cards used to maintain and repair catapults and arresting gear.

The content and configuration of each container is tailored to the task, work center, and equipment maintained. Work center containers are assigned to and maintained within a work center. Other boxes and specialized tools are checked out from the tool control center (tool room). K E E P  Y O U R  T O O L S  I N  G O O D CONDITION–Protect them from rust, nicks, burrs, and breakage. KEEP YOUR TOOL ALLOWANCE COMPLETE – When you are issued a toolbox, each tool should be placed in it when not in use. When the toolbox is not actually at the work site, it should be locked and stored in a designated area. NOTE An inventory list is kept in every toolbox to be checked before and after each job or maintenance action, to ensure that all tools are available to do your work, and to ensure that they are accounted for after you have completed your work. USE EACH TOOL ONLY FOR THE JOB IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO – Each particular type of tool has a specific purpose. If you use the wrong tool when performing maintenance or repairs, you may cause damage to the equipment you’re working on or damage the tool itself. Remember, improper use of 1-1
