  • 2. 

    Brushing operations must be performed with?

    • The arbor hole

    • The side of a wheel

    • The wire ends

    • The mounting bracket

    Correct Answer
    A. The wire ends
    Explanation
    Brushing operations must be performed with the wire ends because the wire ends are the part of the brush that make contact with the surface being brushed. By using the wire ends, the brush can effectively remove dirt, debris, or other unwanted materials from the surface. The wire ends are designed to be durable and abrasive, allowing them to scrub away any contaminants. Using any other part of the brush, such as the arbor hole, side of the wheel, or mounting bracket, would not provide the same level of effectiveness in the brushing operation.

    Carbon steel should not be used to clean stainless steel because?

    • It will not clean it properly

    • It will scratch the stainless steel surface

    • It will leave a metallic residue that will be susceptible to rust

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. It will leave a metallic residue that will be susceptible to rust
    Explanation
    Carbon steel contains iron, which can react with oxygen and moisture in the air to form rust. When carbon steel is used to clean stainless steel, it can leave behind small particles or residue that can rust and corrode the stainless steel surface over time. Therefore, carbon steel should not be used to clean stainless steel to prevent the formation of rust.

    Which type of brush should be used in electrical hazard environments and where a spark could cause a fire?

    • Carbon

    • Stainless Steel

    • Brass

    • All can be used in this situation

    Correct Answer
    A. Brass
    Explanation
    In electrical hazard environments where a spark could cause a fire, it is recommended to use brushes made of brass. Brass is a non-sparking material that does not produce sparks when it comes in contact with other metals. This makes it a safe choice for use in situations where there is a risk of fire due to sparks. Carbon, stainless steel, and other materials may produce sparks, increasing the risk of fire in such environments. Therefore, brass is the most suitable type of brush to use in this scenario.
