    When installing a self-taping screw, the hole must be

    • Slightly smaller than the screw

    • The same size as the screw shank

    • Slightly deeper than the length of the shank

    • Slightly shallower than the length of the screw

    Correct Answer
    A. Slightly smaller than the screw
    Explanation
    When installing a self-tapping screw, the hole must be slightly smaller than the screw. This is because the screw needs to grip the material tightly in order to create a secure connection. If the hole is the same size as the screw or slightly larger, the screw may not have enough grip and could become loose over time. Additionally, if the hole is slightly deeper than the length of the shank or slightly shallower than the length of the screw, it may not provide enough support for the screw and could result in a weak connection.

    To prevent damage to the soft metal surfaces where a lock washer is required, what should you use?

    • Plain washer underneath the lock washer

    • Soft lock washer

    • Special washer

    • Crush washer

    Correct Answer
    A. Plain washer underneath the lock washer
    Explanation
    To prevent damage to the soft metal surfaces, a plain washer should be used underneath the lock washer. This is because the plain washer provides a flat surface that distributes the pressure evenly, preventing the lock washer from digging into the soft metal and causing damage. By using a plain washer underneath the lock washer, the soft metal surfaces are protected and the lock washer can effectively perform its function of preventing loosening of the fastener.

    Why should dust caps be installed over tube ends rather than inside them?

    • Provides a tighter fit

    • Prevents nicking of inner tube surface

    • Avoids possibility of leaving caps installed

    • Provides less contact with corrosive lubricants

    Correct Answer
    A. Avoids possibility of leaving caps installed
    Explanation
    Installing dust caps over tube ends instead of inside them avoids the possibility of leaving the caps installed. If the caps are installed inside the tube ends, there is a chance that they may not be removed before the tube is used, which can lead to issues such as restricted flow or damage to the inner tube surface. By installing the caps over the tube ends, it ensures that they are easily visible and can be removed before the tube is put into use.
