Always keep articles that you are sanding ________.
- A.
Incontact with the table

In a water cooler
- C.
On a flat place
- D.
An inch above the table
Correct Answer
A. Incontact with the tableExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Do not use sanding belts or discs that are ________.
- A.
80 grit or finer
- B.
Used on metal
- C.
Loaded with pitch and/or warn out
- D.
Garnet or silicon carbide
Correct Answer
C. Loaded with pitch and/or warn outExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Do not try to shorten the sanding process by pressing hard on your work or holding the sander in one spot for a long time. This will burn your work or may cause the belts or discs to break and ________.
- A.
Become expensive
- B.
Cause extra work
- C.
Be replaced
- D.
Injure you
Correct Answer
D. Injure youExplanation
If you try to shorten the sanding process by pressing hard on your work or holding the sander in one spot for a long time, it can cause the belts or discs to break and injure you. This is because the excessive pressure or prolonged contact can cause the sanding tool to malfunction, leading to potential accidents or injuries. It is important to follow proper sanding techniques to ensure safety and prevent damage to both the workpiece and yourself.Rate this question:

- A.
Upward
- B.
Downward
- C.
On the right
- D.
On the left
Correct Answer
B. DownwardExplanation
When using only half of the disc to move, it is important to use the correct half to ensure that the work is done properly. If the wrong half is used, the work may be thrown upward instead of being moved downward as intended. Therefore, it is crucial to select the appropriate half of the disc to avoid any undesired upward movement.Rate this question:

- A.
Tightly semented
- B.
Semented loosely
- C.
Trimmed close
- D.
Welded
Correct Answer
A. Tightly sementedExplanation
The correct answer is "tightly semented." This means that the oppressive disc should be securely attached to the disc and should not have any loose or torn edges.

Do not put ________ ontop of the sander.
- A.
Your hand
- B.
Pressure
- C.
Powercord
- D.
Work
Correct Answer
B. PressureExplanation
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:

Be sure the sandpaper ________ covers the sanding pad.
- A.
Completely
- B.
Partially
- C.
Lightly
- D.
Loosely
Correct Answer
A. CompletelyExplanation
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.Rate this question:

- A.
8
- B.
10
- C.
12
- D.
14
Correct Answer
C. 12Explanation
Material less than 12 inches long should not be sanded with a portable belt sander. This is because using a belt sander on small pieces of material can be dangerous and difficult to control. The size of the material is important to ensure stability and prevent accidents while sanding.Rate this question:

When the sander is not in use, ________. The sander in this position will not travel if accidently turned on.
- A.
Set it on the belt
- B.
Stand it on its end
- C.
Position upright
- D.
Lay it on its side
Correct Answer
D. Lay it on its sideExplanation
When the sander is not in use, laying it on its side is the recommended position. This is because if the sander is accidentally turned on, it will not travel or move if it is lying on its side. This position ensures that the sander remains stable and prevents any potential accidents or damage.Rate this question:

Do not press down on the ________ for faster sanding. This will overheat the sander and clog the belt
- A.
Table
- B.
Sander
- C.
Project
- D.
Surface
Correct Answer
B. SanderExplanation
Pressing down on the sander for faster sanding can overheat the sander and clog the belt. This is because applying excessive pressure can cause the sander to work harder and generate more heat, leading to overheating. Additionally, pressing down too hard can also cause the belt to become clogged with sanding debris, reducing its effectiveness. Therefore, it is important to avoid pressing down on the sander to prevent damage and ensure optimal sanding performance.Rate this question:

Use ________ pressure on the spindle when sanding.
- A.
Heavy
- B.
Light
- C.
Downward
- D.
Extra
Correct Answer
B. LightExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Keep all material being sanded ________.
- A.
On the table
- B.
In your hand
- C.
In the tool rack
- D.
On the curved edges
Correct Answer
A. On the tableExplanation
The correct answer is "on the table" because when sanding, it is important to keep the material being worked on stable and secure. Placing it on the table provides a flat and steady surface, allowing for better control and precision during the sanding process. Keeping the material on the table also prevents it from moving or slipping, reducing the risk of accidents or damage.Rate this question:

- A.
Belt drive
- B.
Table top
- C.
Moving spindle
- D.
Power switch
Correct Answer
C. Moving spindleExplanation
The correct answer is "moving spindle" because it is important to keep hands away from any moving parts to avoid injury. The moving spindle refers to a rotating part of a machine or equipment, and it can be dangerous if hands or fingers get caught in it. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain a safe distance from the moving spindle to ensure personal safety.Rate this question:

Do not attempt to sand ________ and/or circles without assistance from the instructor.
- A.
Curved edges
- B.
Concave surfaces
- C.
Flat surfaces
- D.
Internal, enclosed curves
Correct Answer
D. Internal, enclosed curvesExplanation
This answer is correct because sanding internal, enclosed curves can be challenging without proper guidance or assistance from an instructor. These types of curves often require specialized techniques and tools to ensure a smooth and even finish. Without proper knowledge and support, attempting to sand internal, enclosed curves can result in uneven surfaces or damage to the object being worked on.Rate this question:

Always sand ________ direction of the spindle movement.
- A.
In the opposite
- B.
In the same
- C.
At 90 degree angle from the
- D.
In any
Correct Answer
A. In the oppositeExplanation
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.Rate this question:
