INFORMATION SHEET# 2-1

APPLICATION OF MANUALS/SPECIFICATION
An owner manual (also called instruction manual) is an

instructional book or booklet that is supplied with almost all
technologically advanced consumer product such as vehicles, appliances
and computer peripherals. Information contained in the owners' manual
typically includes:
Safety instructions; for liability reasons these can be extensive,

often including warning against doing things that no intelligent
person would consider doing.
Assembly instruction; for products to arrive in pieces for easier

shipping.
Installation instruction; for production that need to be installed in
home workplace
Setup instructions; for devices that keep track of time or which

maintain user accessible state
Normal usage instructions
Programming instructions; for microprocessor controlled product
such as VCRs, programmable calculators and synthesizers
Maintenance instructions.
Troubleshooting instruction; for when the product does not work

as expected.
Service Location; for when the product requires repair by a factory

authorized technician.
Regulatory code compliance information; for example with respect

to safety or electromagnetic interference.
Product technical specifications.
Warranty information: sometimes provided as a separate sheet.
Date:
Version No. 1

Page#
Until the last decade or two of the twentieth century it was

common for an own manual to include detailed repair information,
such as a circuit diagram; however, as products became more
complex this information was gradually relegated to specialized
service manual , or dispensed with entirely , as devices became too
inexpensive to be economically repaired.
Owner manuals for simpler devices are often multilingual so
that the same boxed product can be solved in many different markets.
Sometimes the same manual is shipped with a range of related
products so the manual will contain a number of sections that apply
only to some particular model in the product range.
With increasing complexity of modern devices, may owners
manual have become so large that separate Quickstart is provided.
Some owner's manuals for computer equipment are supplied on CDROM to cut down on manufacturing costs, since the owner is
assumed to have a computer able to read the CD-ROM. Another trend
is to supply an instructional videotape or DVD along with the owner's
manual.
A user guide, is also known as a manual, is a technical
communication document intended to give assistance to people using
a particular written by a technical writer, although user guides could
be written by programmers , product or project managers, or other
technical staff, particularly in small
companies.

STORING MANUAL SAFELY
The complete operation and best performance of a device can be

achieved and best understood using manuals. They need to be stored
properly to prevent damage. They must be taken care of properly so
that they can still be accessed for future reference. In storing
manuals, the following factors should be considered.
Some chemicals can be damaging to manuals. Avoid storing

them in place where there are chemicals such as acids, syrups
etc.
Insufficient air causes papers to become brittle, pages weaken

and easily torn.
Paper deteriorates rapidly under extremes heat and moisture. A

damp environment will encourage paper to cockle and this
literally opens them to attack specially from molds
Light fade inks and dyes generally accelerates decomposition of

a range of printing materials. The ultraviolet component of light
is the source of this damage.
Vermin are especially detrimental to manuals. They feed on and

destroy papers.

Measuring Tools and Instruments
A mason must know how to accurately measure and layout. U.S customary measuring tools used in masonry are
divided into inches and halves, quarters, eights and sixteenths
of an inch , on metric tools, The division generally are
centimeters and millimeters.
Types of Measuring Geometrical Objects

1. Push-pull tape rule is used to measure long distances available
from 3.00m to S.Ometers long.
2. Zigzag rule is available in (4ft) 1.20m and (6ft) 1.80m commonly
used by carpenters or mason for rough layout.
3. Extension rule is used for measuring inside distances such as
room, windows, cabinets, etc.

Proper Handling Of Measuring Tools
Tools will last longer when properly kept and maintained. A
good wood worker keeps and cares for his Tools. The following are
some pointers to follow in keeping tools in good condition.
1. Be sure to inspect tools before using them. This is to check if
they are in working condition.This can be detected when you are
able to use a tool smoothly and conveniently and there is ease
and speed in in its use.
2. Afeter using a tool, clean it throughly with a damp cloth before
keeping it in the tool cabinet. Wipe it dry with another piece of
cloth. To avoid rusting , make sure that the Tool has been
thoroughly dried before.
3. Oil the metal parts of a Tool to prevent any form of damage that
may be caused by air, water, or dust.Damage Tools must be
segragated from Tools that are functional.
4. Make sure that grits, like sand or dust, will not get inside the
housing, it will wear off the graduation, and check lock if it is
working.
Safety Rules
The following safety rules should be understood and strictly
followed to avoid accidents while working working.
1. Sharp Tools must be kept safe inside the storage
2. Use each Tool for intended purposes
3. Report immediately injuries on accidents or any type to your
Teacher.
4. Avoid throwing Tool to any body hand it over

TWO SYSTEMS OF MEASUREMENT

1. There are two systems of measurements, the English and metric
system or System International (S.I)
1"
Inches
1'
Feet
1 yd.
Yard
2.The unit in the S.I measurement is called the meter. The meter is
divided into 100 centimeters, each centimeters is divided into 10
millimeters. They are abbreviated as follows:
1mm
1cm
1m
Millimeters
Centimeters
Meter
3.In the English system, the inch is divided into 16 graduations and
the smallest graduation is read 1/16
i INCH
F\6.
Date:
Version No. 1

Page#

To read measurement exceeding 1 inch say 2" and 4 smaller

graduations, it is read and written as:
1 Foot + 2 inches + 3
Smaller graduations, it is read and written as:
1 23/16"
14 3/16"
Note: Practice reading the English sytem of measurement and ask

LINEAR MEASUREMENT
In Masonry and Carpentry the most important type of measurement is
the Linera Measurement, that is taking strenth measurements of the
thickness, depth, width and length.

THE PROPER WAYS OF USING LINERA MEASURING

TOOLS ARE SHOWN BELOW:
A. Measuring width using a benca rule

See to it that the end of the benca rule is in
line with the base edge before marking
B. A rule and pencil is used for gauging

width. This can be done by holding the
bencia to the desired wedge, using the
finger as the gauge and the pencil as the
markler
C. Measuring and marking width flexible

rule. See to it that the hook of the pull push
rule is held at the right end of the stock.
D. Setting divided for a desired radius. This

is done for an accurate setting of compass
divided to dimension.
E. Dividing a board into equal parts. This is

one of the farthest method of dividing
distance of a Board. It can be done by
placing the ruler diagonally to the
desired number of parts.

RATIO AND PROPORTIONAL
Proportion
A proportion is an equation with a ratio on each side. It is a
statement that two ratios are equal.
3
/4
=6/8
When one of the four numbers in a proportion is unknown, cross

products may be used to find the unknown number. This is called
solving the proportion. Question marks or letters are frequently used
in place o fthe unknown number
Example:
Solve for n: V2 = n/4.
Using cross products we see that 2xn=1x4=4, so 2xn=4. Dividing
both sides by 2 n=4+2 so that n=2.
Ratio
A ratio is a comparison of two numbers, We generally separate the two
numbser in the ratio with a colon(:). Suppose we want to write the ratio of
8 and 12. We can write this 8:12 or as fraction 8/12, and we say the ratio
is eight to twelve.
Examples:
Jeannie has a bag with 3 videocassettes, 4 marbles, 7 books, and 1
orange.
1. What is the ratio of books to marbles?
Expressed as a fraction, with the numerator equal to the first quantity
and the denominator equal to the second, the answer would be 714.
Two other ways of writing the ratio are 7 to 4, and 7:4.
2. What is the ratio of videocassettes to the total number of items in the
bag? There are 3 videocassettes, and 3+4+7+1 = 15 items total.The
answer can be expressed as 3/15,3 to 15, or 3:15

ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS
Algebraic expression is made up of the signs and symbols of

algebra. These symbols include the Arabic numerals, literal numbers,
the signs of operation, and so forth. Such an expression represents
one number or one quantity. Thus , just as the sum of 4 and 2 is one
quantity, that is 6, the sum of c and dis one quantity, that is, c+d.
a
Likewise
"'b, ab, a-band so forth, are algebraic expressions
each of which represents one quantity or number.
b,
Longer expression may be formed by combinations of the various

signs of operation an dthe otheer algebraic symbols, but no matter
how complex such expressions are they still represent one number.
Thus the algebraic expression
-a+~ -c
is one number.
6
The arithmetic value of any algebraic expression depends on the
values assigned to the literal numbers. For example, in the expression
2x2 -3ay, if x= -3, a= 5, andy= 1, then we have the following:
2x2 -3ay=2(-3)2 -3(5}(1)
= 2(9)- 15=18-15=3
Notice that the exponent is an expression such as 2x2 applies only

to the x. If it is desired to indicate the square of 2x, rather than the 2
times the square of x, then parentheses are used and the expression
becomes (2x)2.

Practice problems. Evaluate the following algebraic expressions when

a=4, b= 2, c=3, x=7, and y=S.Remember, the order of operation is
mulyiplication , division, addition, and subtraction.
The terms of an algebraic expression are the parts of the expression

that are connected by plus and minus signs. In the expression
3abx+cy-k, for example ,3abx, cy, and k are the terms of the
expression.
An expression containing only one term, such as 3ab, is called a
monomial (mono means one). A binomial contains two terms; for
example , 2r +by .A trinomial consist of three terms. Any expression
containing two or more terms may also be called by the general
name,polynomial (poly means many). Usually special names are not
given to polynomials of more than three times. The expression x33x2+7x+lis a polynomial of four terms. The trinomials x2+2x+l is an
example of a polynomial which has special terms name.

PERCENTAGE , FRACTION AND DECIMAL

How To Calculate Percentage
The simplest way to calculate is to divide the given amount by the

total and then multiplying the answer by 100 to get the percentage of
the given amount with respect to the total amount.
The equation can ebe put up as follows:
(Given amount /Total amount) x100
For example if John scores 60 out of 75 in mathematics we can find
the percentage of his marks by dividing 60 by 75 which comes to be
0.8 an then multiplying it by 100 which gives us the percentage of his
marks in math which 80%. (60/75) x 100= 80%
ROUNDING OFF DECIMALS
Metric measurements an decimals inches are often long numbers.

They must often be rounded to a convenient number of digits, In this
text most mertic dimensions are either whole millimeter or two-places
decimals that have been rounded off. To help you round off your own
calculation, rules of rounding are discussed below.
I the first number to be eliminated is less than 5, simply drop it (and
the number to the right of it) and let the last significant digit stand.
Example:
round off 25.4 mm to whole millimeter
Solution: Simply drop the .4
Answer: 25
Example : Round off 0.3125(5/ 16)into two significant digits.
Solution: The first number to be eliminated is 2: Simply drop it and all
numbers to its right(5)

Types of tools and equipment
After studying the use of measuring instrument you will be able
to identify the measuring tools. In addition you wiil be able to use lay
out tools correctly when laying out.
The following are common tools and equipment and their
functions.
Rules a rule is a general term used to describe a linear measuring

device.
Types of Rules
Tape Measu:re is a commonly used for measuring longer lengths of

stock available in various lengths. This tools is handy, because when
its closed it will cup unto a belt. When using a tape measure, be sure
that frit, such as sand, does not get inside housing. It will wear off the
finish and number on the tape and may cause the tape measure to
jam.
Folding Rules are commonly used by workers and also for measuring
long distance and
to fold.

Steel Rule or Carpenter Square has many useful scale engraved in

its tongue and blade, in addition to an accurate. The proper use of
this square will allow you to perform complex operation such as laying
out rafters and stairs steps.
Try Square is used to lay out and square smaller pieces of stock. A try
square has a 45-degree miter formed in the handle for accurate layout miter cuts.
Combination Square can do a number of operations very accurately.

It has a blade that slides in a goo degree angle lay-out. Many
combinations square have a small level in the handle. This allows you
to level table tops and other items, that should be parallel to the floor.

Sliding T-Belt is also called a bevel or a set square which is similar to

a square in its use. However, the angle may be varied and set as
desired. This tool is needed when laying -out an angle other than 450
or 90
Divider, Coo1pass and Trammel Points are commonly used to

describe arcs and circles. In addition, they are also used to lay-out
distances and find center.
Dividers while the marking knife is used for straight lines, dividers
are used for making out covered lines such as circle joint. They are
also used for making equal distance along a line. The two legs are set
to size from a rule. One point is placed at the center and the divider
swung around so that the other points cut a curve in the wood.

Sliding t-bevel This tool, like the try square, can be set at any angle.
Its blade is slotted and held in the stack by a screw. if loosened, the
screw is tightened. the bevel is used for testing slopes of a bevel edge
for making straight lines that are not at right angles with the edge of
the wood.
Divider, Compass and Trammel Points are commonly used to

describe arcs and circles. In addition, they are also used to lay-out
distances.

Marking Gatllge this tools is used for marking lines along the grain of
wood or to indicate the desired width and thickness of wood. The wood
is held at an angle while the gauge stock is pressed and tightened to
adjust the spur tail. the gauge is then moved along the length of the
wood so the spur point will cut a line as it goes along.

Wood File & Rasp the teeth of both file and grasp are cut on the
principle of cutting wedges. the file is used for smoother cutting while
the rasp for roughing off surfaces. they are described by length, shape
and cut which refers to the coarseness and shape of the teeth.
Spokeshaves these are used for planning curved edges. There are two
types: The Flat-faced for working on convex curve and the round faced
working on concave curves grip tool.
Bench a bench may either be single or double depending on the

number of persons using it. A single bench consists of a plank and a
tray and is intended for one person only. A double bench is usually
three wide-the two planks on top and a tray in between. It can be used
by two persons and usually has two vises.
Bench Hook this is used to hold small pieces of wood while sawing
on chiseling. It is made a piece of wood usually eight inches wide and
nine inches long. It has two square stoppers screwed on opposite
ends.

Bench Stop this is a fixture on top of the work bench to hold large
piece of wood in a place. It can be flushed or raised by a screw and
spring regulator.
Bench Vise the woodworkers bench vise holds lumber for easy
working the vise attached to the bench so that to show top edges are
flushed with the top of the bench. The movable jaws maybe fully
adjusted turning the handle.
Saws there are two kinds of saw s" power are those run by electricity
and those manually operated are called handsaws. Handsaws are

those of those various types. The ripsaw is used for cutting wood
along the grain. Its teeth are sharpened at an angle to form points
with sharp cutting edges like a chisel. The cross cut saw is used for
cutting across the grain of the wood. The teeth of this type are set
alternately to the right and left so that the cut is wider than the
thickness of the saw blade. It cuts both as a knife and a chisel. The
back saw is a heavy metal band across the back to hold the thin blade
firmly in place.

Coping Saw is used for sawing out of thin wood. The narrow blades
are so designed to cut curve shapes.
Hand Drill this used for drilling holes up to 74 inch deep. The auger
bit that come in different sizes are used with the brace for boring holes
in wood.
Brace this is used for holding bits when boring and counter -sinking.
Wooden Smooth Plane this tool is used for planning a piece of timber
almost to size. It is also used for removing the bulk of waste from a
piece of sawn timber.

Iron smooth Plane this tool is used for smoothing wood after the jack
or fry pane has been used. It is smaller then the jack plane but its
cutting edge is ground and sharpened, straight like the try plane. The
smoothing plane should never be used for general planning because
its finely set is intended only for smoothing work.
Tang Firmer Plane this is used for cutting and shaping wood. It has a
blade of hardened stele set on a steel shoulder that has a steel tang
and is held by a wooden or metal ring called a ferrule.
Socket Firm Chisel this tool functions similarly as a tang firmer

chisel except that the upper of the socket chisel blade is shaped like a
hollow cone which the handle is set.

Gouges these are used for hollowing wood and cutting chisel-curved
shapes. They are like chisels but have a curve blade. Their curves vary
in shapes from almost straight to firmer or carving gouge. The scribing
gouge has the bevel ground on the inside for cutting inside curves
while the firmer or carving gouge has the bevel ground on the outside
so that it can be used for removing waste wood when marking hole. A
mallet is used for greater control when gouging.
Screw Drivers these are used to drives screw

wooden
surface.The blade end of the screw driver should fit into the slot of the
screw; otherwise, it may slip and damage the screw head as well as
the surrounding wood. This makes it difficult to remove the screw.

USES OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Under a regulation of the occupation Safety and Health

Administration (OSHA) an employer must meet specific requirements
concerning Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as gloves,
goggles, hard hats, face shield and ear muffs. Below you will find basic
information about the types of Personal Protective Equipment.
A. Eye and Face Protection
Goggles and face protection must be used when workers are at

risk from flying particles, liquid chemicals, acids or caustic liquids,
chemical gasses or vapors. Workers must also be protected from
radiation during welding torching, soldering and braling or other
operations that emit light. Goggles and face protection must meet
designs for safety.
B. Head Protection
Safety must be worn where there is a danger of falling object.
Specialized hard hats are required to reduced electrical shock hazard.
C. Foot Protection
Safety shoes with impact protection are required in work areas
where heavy objects or tools could be accidentally dropped on the feet.
Safety shoes with compression protection must be worn where objects
could roll over workers feet an din operations involving skid trucks,
hand trucks, dollies, etc., safety shoes with puncture protection are
required when working around nails, wire, tacks, scrap metals and
other objects that could pierce the feet.
D. Hand Protection
Gloves are required to protect workers from cuts, scrapes,
burns, chemical absorption, or temperature extremes. It is crucial
that the type of glove being used if the right one for the job since
incorrect gloves may provide no protection. This is a particular
problem with chemical absorption where incorrect gloves may allow
certain chemical to reach skin and you may be unaware that is it
happening.

Types and Uses of Lubricants
A lubricant is a substance (often liquid) introduced between two
moving surfaces to reduce friction and wear between them.
A
lubricant provides a protective film which allows for two toughing
surfaces to be separated and "smoothed" thus lessening the friction
between the. Lubricant chemically interact with all surfaces so that
contact only occurs with the smooth and free lubricant. By this
process, abrasive particles are dissolved into the lubricant, thus
making them also very good solvents and cleaners.
TYPES OF LUBRICANTS
1. Liquid including emulsions and suspensions

2. Solid
3. Greases
4. Pastes
Liquid Lubricants
Lanolin is a natural water repellent. It is derived from wool
grease and is a safe alternative to the more common petro-chemical
based lubricants. These lubricants are also corrosion inhibitors
protecting against rust, salt and acids.
Water
Water can also be used on its own or as a major component
with one of the other base oils.
Mineral Oil
This is used to encompass lubricating base oil derived from

crude oil.
Vegetable Oil
These are primarily triglyceride esters derived from plants and
animals.

Preventive Maintenance Techniques and Procedures
Tools last longer when they handled with proper Preventive
Maintenance Techniques and Procedure
The following are some pointers to follow.

1. Be sure to inspect tools before using them. This is to check if
they are in good condition. This can be detected when you are
able to use tools smoothly and conveniently and there is speed
in use. The sharpness of graded tools and the tips of pointed
ones should always be maintained, while non-blade on nonpointer tools should always be clean to prevent from rusting.
2. After using tools, clean them thoroughly with a clamp cloth
before keeping in the tool cabinet. Wipe dry with another clean
piece of cloth. To avoid rusting, make sure the tools have been
thoroughly dried before storing them.
3. Oil the metal parts of a tool to prevent any form of damage that
may be caused by air, water or rust.

enough. However , the gist of SS is to compare culture where 4S is

practiced by everyone spontaneously and willingly without being told
or order.
SS is not only a matter of housekeeping. It also aims at festering
quality people though practice of SS.

to your work. Then, dispose all unnecessary items.
NEVER KEEP ANYTHING WHICH ARE UNNECESSARY TO
YOU WORK
Step 2- If you and your colleagues cannot decide whether an
item is necessary or not, put DISPOSAL NOTICE
with the data on the item and set items aside.
Step3 -After a period, say two months, check if someone
the item or not. If no one needed the items,
at means the item is not needed for your work.
Note: Dispose can be done in either of the following ways.
1. Sell it to outside of the company
2. Move to other department I section where the item is

What can you gain from 58?

Practice of 58 brings benefits not only to the
company's business but also to the people who practice.
That is the reason why 58 is gaining ground rapidly.
What can an individual gain form SS?
1. SS makes your workplace more pleasant
In practicing 5S, you have to start from discussing
and agree what to put for efficient use by everyone. With
your colleagues, you have to clean the workplace. Such
human relation and working environment will make you
your workplace pleasant.
2. SS makes your work more efficient
If you have to look for something and so much
time finding it , you are not only wasting your time but
also wasting your energy and moral.
On the other hand, if everything at your
workplace is arranged in proper order and easily
available for use, your work flow will always be very
smooth. It improves not only your efficiency but also
improves the rhythm of your work.
Then you will enjoy your work home
If you have a work , it is better if you can enjoy it
3. 58 improves your safety
A clear and tidy working environment where
everything is properly placed where clear instructions are
readily available and where no one throws anything is
safer place to work in.
Practice of SS improves your own safety
You can enjoy your work more with less risk.

environment, you can develop your sensitivity so
that you can feel and identify any defect in work.

2. Recognize and identify hazard in the work area
3. Follow workplace policies and procedures
We have all heard of the slogans: "Watch you Step!- Look
before you Leap-Take it easy!" and dozens of others mean the same
thing. We have also heard of very important slogan " Safety First"
Avoiding Hazard in the Shop Area
When working in the shop, we should become acquainted
with the things that may cause trouble. If we know about them, we
avoid them. Avoid hazards and treat them with respect using
carelessly hand tool and power tools accounts for many shop
accidents that could be prevented easily.
Attitude
Carelessness is caused by a poor working attitude. Your
carelessness can cause injury to you or cause accident to someone
else. Be aware that only proper conduct and good working attitude
can prevent accident. Thinking about safety reduces of carelessness.
Keep you work area flow clear of tools and other parts of
your work. It is not a good thing to let the shop floor become strewed
with scraps and debris. Under such conditions the worker may slip
and fall.
If nails are removed from boards, the unwary may step on

them. Do not leave boards lying around that have nails points sticking
out beyond the surface.

Clamping the stock firmly in place and using two hands to operate a
chisel obviously eliminate the danger of cutting the hand which might
otherwise be used as the holding agent.
When handling a sharp tool to another person, extend the handle

first. This both courtesy and sound practice toward accident
prevention.
Use the proper tool for the right job. The wrong tool can cause
personal injury or damage the part. Do not place sharp tools in your
pocket. Sharp tools will cut or stab into your skin.
Be sure that your tools are in good condition. There is always
danger that heads of hammers, mallet and hatchets if not properly
attached will fly out and seriously injure someone.

concerned with personal safety. Know shop layout and the location of
safety devices, including fire exits and fire extinguisher. Protect
yourself by wearing the proper clothes and proper safety devices.
Loose clothing can catch on moving arts, and can result in

Long hair and jewelry also are hazards. Long hair should be
covered with a brimless cap. A cap with a brim, as well as long hair, is
caught easily in moving parts and machinery, Rings should be
removed, because they can get caught.
Wear safety glasses or a face shield whenever working on where
particles can fly around. Keep handling tools in good conditions. Tools
that may slip can cause cuts and bruises. A good grip on tools also
prevent personal injury and damage. Wipe excessive dirt from hands

Cessation of Breathing
When breathing stops for any reason, the condition that arises
is referred to as respiratory arrest. The heart may continue to beat for
several minutes after the breathing process stops.
Major:
Health Attack
Blockage of air passage
Accidents involving drowning and electrocution
Suffocation of gases, smoke and compression depressant
Symptoms of Respiratory Arrest
Without oxygen, breaths will become shorter and faster, a
headache may occur, ears will probably pound and memory will
become fuzzy. Victim may appear to be under the influence of alcohol.
He may become unconscious and breathing maybe arrested. In a very
short time heart will stop breathing and death will follow. But
remem her , as long as the heart is beating, or if the heart stops and
starts breathing again, breathing may possibly resume.
Artificial respiration can save life if an accident or illness has
caused cessation of breathing. It is very necessary because can
resume. Artificial respiration is the procedure for causing air to flow
into and out of the lungs of the person.
The mouth to mouth (or mouth to nose) technique is the most
practical method for emergency ventilation of an individual of any age
who has cessation of breathing.
Mouth to mouth (mouth to nose) method of Artificial Respiration
Wipe out quickly any visible foreign matter in the mouth using
finger or cloth wrapped your fingers.
Tilt head back so that the chin tilts pointing upward. Pull or
push jaw into jutting out poison. This maneuver should relieve
obstructions of the airway by moving the base of the tongue
away from the back of the throat.
First Aid to Injuries (Joints, Muscles, and Fracture)
A. Sprain Occurs when trauma such as violent twist or stretch
causes the joints to move outside its normal range of movement
and ligaments are torn. Sprains are common to ankle and wrist.
Allow the sprain to be fully mended because a second or third
sprain may worst.

The usual symptoms of sprain are:

Pain and tenderness in affected area
Rapid swelling, sometimes with dislocation of the skin
Impaired joint function
Emergency treatment for minor sprains an approach called
P.R.I.C.E
PROTECTION Immobilize affected area and prevent further injury
using elastic wraps, slings, splints, crutches or cane if necessary.
REST Avoid activities that can cause pain or swelling. Rest is
important to hasten tissue healing.

ICE Ice application immediately is necessary to avoid swelling, pain
and muscle spasm. Re-apply the ice application for the first day or
two.
COMPRESSION Compress the injury until the swelling ceases with
warps or compressive bandages
ELEVATION Raise the swollen arm or leg higher than heart level to
reduce swelling. Usually this can be done at night time.
B. Stains
Are muscle injuries caused by stretching the muscles
beyond a reasonable limit. Muscles fibers maybe torn
from their attachment and the tendon that attached the
muscle to the bone maybe ruptured or even pulled loose.
This happens when lifting heavy weight and the persons
slip.
Signs and symptoms
Localized pain, when an injury occurs is allowed by tenderness
and swelling in some cases
Stiffness and tenderness happen after 24 hours immediately
after a muscle is pulled.
If muscle seems, have no function at all, the muscle have
ruptured.
First Aid
1. Apply ice or cold pack to injured area for the first 24 hours
after injury. After that, use a heating pad or hot baths.
2. If swelling is extensive, use cold packs throughout the entire
recovery of a muscle injury.
Date:
Version No.1

3. To reduce swelling, elevate the injured muscle and use

compression wraps, like bandage. Do not bind tightly
4. Rest the injure muscle while still painful.
C. Fracture
It is a broken bone" The common type of an adult is spoken of
as simple fracture with the breaks usually straight across the
shaft of a big bone and no broken protruding. The more severe
type of fracture in which the ends of the broken bone pierces
the muscle and the skin is called a compound fracture. This is
more serious, damaging other tissues and causing danger of
infection.
Caring for Fractures

1. Apply cold cloth or an ice to the injured area to relieve
pain
2. While waiting to transport the victim, the bandaging of
a compound fracture and proper splinting of the
injured part are necessary.
3. If there is bleeding, cover the wound with sterile
surgical dressing or clean cloth and bandage it snugly
in place.
4. Avoid moving the victim more than necessary. Split
and support should be applied where the injured
persons lies so that when he moves, there will be no
further damage.
5. Keep the victim perfectly quiet, lying on his back. Do
not permit him to move, sit up or stand.
6. Turn his head slightly away from the injured side.
7. Keep the patient warm by covering him with blankets
8. Do not give stimulants, liquor or pain killers.

FIRST AID: Emergency Cases
CONVULSION /EPILEPSY
What to do:
1. Place the victim on something wide and soft such as
bed or a thick rug so that he will not be injured by his
involuntary motions.
2. Loosen the clothing so as to reduce the danger of
choking
3. Put something blunt (such as small roll of cloth)
between the victims so as told the jaws apart and thus
the danger of biting his tongue.
4. Place the victim on his side rather than on his back for
there is danger of vomiting and choking on the
vomitus. Do not always keep his face turned to one
side.
5. If breathing stops for a n1inute or two, administer
artificial respiration.
6. If there is a high fever, reduce the body temperature as
quickly as possible, wrapping the patient with a sheet
wrung out of cold water. Then allow an electric fan to
play the wet sheet. This will cause rapid evaporation
and will have cooling effect.
INTOXICATION
Alcohol is a depressant, a slow acting anaesthetic .

Reflexes are slowed and muscles coordination impaired. Alcohol
impairs the intellectual functions inhibitions and handicapping one in
the exercise of judgment.
The deeply intoxicated person becomes, pale, and may
break into cold sweat, may vomit, and lapse into unconsciousness.
This stupor disappears in a few hours as the body gradually
metabolizes the alcohol.
1. Empty the patients stomach by helping him to vomit. Have the
patient drink two or three glasses of warm salt water.
2. Give large dose (2tbsp) of crystals in a half glass of water of
spoon salt
3. Keep the patients body wann. An intoxicated person easily chills
and develop pneumonia .

SNAKE BITES
What to do:
1. Get the victim to a hospital fast. Meanwhile, take these first
measures:
Keep the victim from moving around
a
Keep the victim as calm as possible, preferably lying down
Immobilize the bitten extremity and keep it below the
heart level.
2. If mild to moderate symptom.s develop, apply a constricting

band from 2-4 inches above the bite but not around a joint like
elbow, knee, wrist, or trunk. The band should be form % to one
and one half inches wide not thin like n1bber band. The band
should be snug, but not loose enough to one finger underneath.
Be alert to swelling; loosen the band if it becomes too tight. But
do not remove it. Periodically check the pulse to ensure blood
flow.
3. If severe symptoms develop, incision and suctions should be
performed immediately. Apply a constricting bond and make a
cut in the skin with a sharp sterilized blade though large fang
mark. Cuts should be no deeper than just through the skin and
should be one half long, extending over the venom deposit
which is usually lower than the fang mark. Do not make cross
cut incision. Do not make cuts on the head, neck or trunk.
Suction should be applied with a suction cup for 30 minutes. If
cup is not available, use the mouth. There is a little risk to the
rescuer who uses his mouth, but it is recommended that the
venom not be swallowed and mouth be rinsed.
