  • 4. 

    Do not use sanding belts or discs that are ________.

    • 80 grit or finer

    • Used on metal

    • Loaded with pitch and/or warn out

    • Garnet or silicon carbide

    Correct Answer
    A. Loaded with pitch and/or warn out
    Explanation
    Using sanding belts or discs that are loaded with pitch and/or worn out can lead to ineffective sanding and poor results. When a sanding belt or disc is loaded with pitch, it becomes clogged with debris and loses its ability to effectively remove material. Similarly, using a worn-out sanding belt or disc will result in reduced cutting power and uneven sanding. Therefore, it is important to avoid using sanding belts or discs that are loaded with pitch and/or worn out to ensure optimal sanding performance.

    Correct Answer
    A. Pressure
    Explanation
    Putting your hand on top of the sander can be dangerous and may result in injury. The sander is a powerful tool that rotates at high speeds, and placing your hand on it can lead to serious cuts or burns. Therefore, it is important to avoid putting any body part, including your hand, on top of the sander while it is in use.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Be sure the sandpaper ________ covers the sanding pad.

    • Completely

    • Partially

    • Lightly

    • Loosely

    Correct Answer
    A. Completely
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "completely" because for effective sanding, the sandpaper needs to fully cover the sanding pad. If the sandpaper only partially covers the pad, it may result in uneven sanding or missed spots. Lightly or loosely covering the pad would also not provide the necessary friction for effective sanding. Therefore, the sandpaper should be completely covering the sanding pad to ensure optimal results.

  • 9. 

    Use ________ pressure on the spindle when sanding.

    • Heavy

    • Light

    • Downward

    • Extra

    Correct Answer
    A. Light
    Explanation
    When sanding, it is recommended to use light pressure on the spindle. This is because applying heavy pressure can cause the sandpaper to wear out quickly and may result in uneven sanding. Light pressure allows for better control and prevents damage to the surface being sanded.

  • 10. 

    Always sand ________ direction of the spindle movement.

    • In the opposite

    • In the same

    • At 90 degree angle from the

    • In any

    Correct Answer
    A. In the opposite
    Explanation
    When sanding, it is important to always sand in the opposite direction of the spindle movement. This is because sanding in the same direction as the spindle movement can cause the sandpaper to slip and create an uneven finish. Sanding at a 90-degree angle from the spindle movement may not effectively remove material or smooth the surface. Sanding in any direction can also lead to inconsistent results. Therefore, the best practice is to sand in the opposite direction of the spindle movement for optimal sanding results.

    • An inch above the table

    Correct Answer
    A. Incontact with the table
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to keep articles that you are sanding in contact with the table. This is because when sanding, it is important to maintain consistent pressure and contact with the surface being sanded in order to achieve an even and smooth result. If the article being sanded is not in contact with the table, it can lead to uneven sanding and potentially damage the surface.
