    Explanation
    Before operating the equipment, it is necessary to secure or remove long hair, long sleeves, and jewelry. Long hair can get caught in the machinery and cause accidents. Long sleeves can also get caught or tangled in the equipment, posing a risk. Jewelry, such as rings, bracelets, or necklaces, can also get caught in the machinery and cause harm. Therefore, it is important to secure or remove these items to ensure safe operation of the equipment.

    • Started

    • Stopped

    • Broken

    • Bent

    Correct Answer
    A. Stopped
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Stopped". After turning off the machine, it is important not to walk away or remove the material until the blade or bit has stopped. This is crucial for safety reasons as removing the material prematurely can result in accidents or injuries. Waiting for the blade or bit to come to a complete stop ensures that there is no risk of it causing harm or damage.

    What type of cuts on the bandsaw should be done in multiple steps?

    • All cuts

    • Most cuts

    Correct Answer
    A. Arcs or radius
    Explanation
    Arcs or radius cuts on the bandsaw should be done in multiple steps because the bandsaw blade has a limited width and cannot make tight curved cuts in a single pass. By making the cuts in multiple steps, the blade can follow the curve more accurately and prevent binding or breaking. This also allows for more control and precision in cutting the desired shape.

    Rate this question:

  • 7.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Leaving fingers in-line with the cut line on the bandsaw can be extremely dangerous. The bandsaw's sharp blade can easily cut through flesh and cause severe injuries. To ensure safety, it is important to always keep fingers away from the cut line and use proper techniques when operating the bandsaw.

    A. Left on material, right on machine handle
    Explanation
    When drilling on a drill press, it is important to hold the material with the left hand and operate the drill with the right hand. This allows for better control and stability while drilling. The left hand should be used to firmly hold the material in place, ensuring that it does not move or slip during the drilling process. The right hand should be used to operate the machine handle, controlling the speed and depth of the drill bit. This division of tasks between the hands helps to maintain safety and accuracy while drilling.
