  • 2. 

    Do not put your fingers closer than the ________.

    • 2 inches

    • 1 inch

    • 3/4 of an inch

    • 1/2 inch

    Correct Answer
    A. 2 inches
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 2 inches because it is a precautionary measure to avoid injury or accidents. By not putting your fingers closer than 2 inches, you create a safe distance between your fingers and any potential hazards or objects that may cause harm.

  • 3. 

    To avoid bending or breaking a blade and damaging your work, you should not twist or bend a saw blade with your stock.  Make ________ before sawing sharp curves and never use extreme force to cut your material.

    • Dark lines

    • Double lines

    • Relief cuts

    • Fast cuts

    Correct Answer
    A. Relief cuts
    Explanation
    To avoid bending or breaking a blade and damaging your work, it is recommended to make relief cuts before sawing sharp curves. Relief cuts are small notches made in the material, which help to release tension and prevent the blade from binding or getting stuck. By making relief cuts, the blade can easily navigate through the curves without putting excessive force on the blade or the material. This technique allows for smoother and safer cutting, reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring a clean and precise result.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    If the blade breaks or comes of the wheels: shut off the power, stand clear, ________ and do not open the wheel guards.

    • Speed up the blade

    • Stand on the foot brake

    • Hold onto the wheels

    • Let the machine coast to a complete stop

    Correct Answer
    A. Let the machine coast to a complete stop
    Explanation
    If the blade breaks or comes off the wheels, it is important to let the machine coast to a complete stop. This is because shutting off the power and standing clear ensures personal safety, while letting the machine coast allows it to gradually come to a stop without any sudden movements or potential hazards. Opening the wheel guards should be avoided as it may expose individuals to the broken or detached blade, causing further danger.

  • 5. 

    Do not place your hand ________ the blade while cutting stock.

    • Away from

    • Clear

    • Along side

    • Directly in line with

    Correct Answer
    A. Directly in line with
    Explanation
    Placing your hand directly in line with the blade while cutting stock is dangerous because it increases the risk of injury. This position puts your hand at a higher risk of coming into contact with the blade, which can result in severe cuts or amputations. It is important to keep your hand at a safe distance from the blade to ensure your safety while operating the cutting tool.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    ________ before backing out of a cut.  This avoids pulling the blade of its wheels.

    • Clean off the machine

    • Raise the guard

    • Turn on the power

    • Turn off the power

    Correct Answer
    A. Turn off the power
    Explanation
    To avoid pulling the blade of its wheels, it is important to turn off the power before backing out of a cut. This ensures that the machine is not accidentally activated while in motion, which could lead to potential accidents or damage. By turning off the power, the blade remains stationary and reduces the risk of any mishaps.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Do not cut ________ stock on the band saw without a special v/block set up.

    • Flat

    • Round

    • Square

    • Long

    Correct Answer
    A. Round
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "round" because cutting flat stock on a band saw without a special v/block set up can be dangerous and may result in the stock slipping or rotating during the cut. However, round stock has a uniform shape and is more stable when being cut on a band saw, making it safer and easier to work with.

    Any operation which requires a special set-up must be approved by the instructor ________ the operation.

    • Prior to the start of

    • During

    • After

    • Half way into

    Correct Answer
    A. Prior to the start of
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "prior to the start of." This means that any operation that requires a special set-up must be approved by the instructor before it begins. This ensures that the necessary preparations are made and any potential risks or issues can be addressed beforehand.

  • 9. 

    Do not ________ a moving bandsaw blade.

    • Work with

    • Make relief cuts with

    • Reach around

    • Cut curves with

    Correct Answer
    A. Reach around
    Explanation
    It is important not to reach around a moving bandsaw blade because it can be extremely dangerous. Reaching around the blade puts your hands and arms at risk of being caught or pulled into the blade, resulting in serious injury. It is essential to always prioritize safety and follow proper procedures when working with any type of power tool.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Stock must be supported against the ________ of the blade. The toe of the bevel should be flat on the table.

    • Downward thrust

    • Upward thrust

    • Side thrust

    • Back thrust

    Correct Answer
    A. Downward thrust
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "downward thrust" because when cutting stock on a table saw, the force applied by the blade on the stock is in a downward direction. This downward thrust helps to keep the stock stable and prevents it from lifting or shifting during the cut. Additionally, the toe of the bevel should be flat on the table to ensure proper alignment and stability while cutting.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Set the saw guide to ________ the stock before turning on the power.

    • 1 inch above

    • 2 inches above

    • Within 1/2 inch of

    • Within 1/8 inch below

    Correct Answer
    A. Within 1/2 inch of
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "within 1/2 inch of". When setting the saw guide, it is important to position it close to the stock without touching it. Setting it within 1/2 inch of the stock ensures that the guide is properly aligned and allows for accurate cutting while preventing any potential damage to the stock.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Do not stand on the ________ of the bandsaw while it is running.  A broken blade is likely to fly in that direction.

    • Front side

    • Back side

    • Right side

    • Left side

    Correct Answer
    A. Right side
    Explanation
    Standing on the right side of the bandsaw while it is running is not recommended because a broken blade is likely to fly in that direction. This can pose a serious safety hazard to anyone standing on the right side, as they could be hit by the flying blade fragments. It is important to stand clear of the bandsaw while it is in operation to avoid any potential accidents or injuries.
