    When operating a band saw, you should stand facing the blade and slightly to the left.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When operating a band saw, it is recommended to stand facing the blade and slightly to the left. This positioning allows the operator to have a clear view of the cutting area and better control over the material being cut. Standing to the left also reduces the risk of being hit by any debris or offcuts that may be ejected from the blade during the cutting process.

    When using a band saw, you should maintain a(n) _____ - inch margin of safety.

    Correct Answer
    2
    Explanation
    When using a band saw, it is important to maintain a 2-inch margin of safety. This means that there should be a distance of at least 2 inches between the material being cut and any part of the operator's body or other objects. This margin of safety helps to prevent accidents and injuries by ensuring that there is enough space for the saw blade to operate without coming into contact with anything other than the intended material.

    In general, you should make long cuts before short cuts.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation

    Move the stock into the blade as slowly as possible to avoid burning the wood.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Moving the stock into the blade as slowly as possible does not help avoid burning the wood. In fact, moving the stock slowly can increase the chances of burning because it allows the blade to stay in contact with the wood for a longer period of time, generating more heat. To avoid burning the wood, it is recommended to move the stock through the blade at a steady and moderate pace, ensuring that the blade cuts smoothly without excessive friction.

    You should never backtrack out of a corner of a rectangular opening because doing so will bind the saw blade.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Backtracking out of a corner of a rectangular opening will not bind the saw blade. This statement is incorrect because backtracking can actually be a necessary technique when using a saw in tight spaces. Backtracking allows the saw to safely navigate corners and continue cutting without binding the blade. Therefore, the correct answer is false.
