  1. Tool Use Strip wire

  2. Soldering Iron Step 1: Tinning the iron Tinning helps to make soldering easier and quicker while keeping the iron in good condition. Prepare the iron by heating it up. Clean off any old solder by wiping it on a damp rag or sponge. Apply a thin layer of solder (left) to all sides of the tip of the iron. Your iron is now “tinned” and ready to use. Periodically re-”tin” your iron to keep it working well.

  3. Step 2: Preparing the joint and wires Prepare to solder by tinning the wire and the joint you wish to attach it to. Place the iron on one side of the joint/wire to heat it up then place the solder on the other side. The heat will “pull” the solder through. Remove the solder first THEN the iron. Do not blow on wire! Step 3: Connecting the wire Place the iron on the joint to heat it up. Touch the wire to the heated joint to connect the two. Remove the iron and allow the joint to cool down.

  4. Drilling Step 1: Inserting the Bit Choose the correct size bit for the hole you want to drill. The size is usually inscribed on the bottom of the bit. Insert the bit into the chuck (as seen on left) and tighten it down. Many drills require a chuck key (as seen above) to tighten the jaws. DO NOT tighten down on the flutes of the drill—only tighten on the round part. Step 2: Drilling Keeping the drill straight, place the tip of the bit on the spot you want to drill. Apply some pressure (not too much) and slowly pull the trigger to start the drill. Keep the drill turning as you punch through the material and as you pull the bit out. Tips: • Let the drill do the cutting. Don’t press too hard • If it’s a large hole or curved surface, making a pilot hole by drilling first with a smaller bit can help guide the large bit

  5. Cutting PVC Step 1: Preparing to Cut Measure and mark where you want to cut. Make sure you have it measured well (there is no “undo” button. Unlock the cutters by taking the metal loop off of the back of the handle. Open the jaws wider than the pipe you wish to cut. Step 2: Cutting Place the pipe inside the blade and pull the handle to ratchet the blade until it is just wider than the pipe. Line up the pipe with your mark and click the handle again to start it cutting into the pipe. Continue pulling the handle until you have cut all the way through.

  6. Stripping Wire Wire strippers are NOT pliers or Scissors! Choose the correct sized hole for the size of wire you’re stripping Don’t use anything that will nick the wires to remove the insulation The pliers on the front of the wire strippers work well to remove the insulation If you remove it by hand, rotate the insulation as you pull it off Don’t nick the wire!
