Part of Lesson Plan: **Tool Safety (updated) By Ken Hamel

Activity Overview / Details

Once the students have picked their tool person, and have their tools, engines and worksheets, the instructor begins a thorough step-by-step with the students on the removal of the cylinder head. One of the benefits of the Briggs and Stratton OHV engine is that the instructor can compare  and contrast the components on the small engines with those on an automobile.

The instructor should take the time to discuss each tool, properly identifying it as well as explaining the proper usage and common misuse and danger. The instructor should take the time to discuss each component as they are removed, in particular how they should be inspected on a vehicle and what determines the need for repair or replacement of each component.
