Before making a cut with a miter saw, it is crucial to ensure the blade is properly aligned with the marked cutting line on the workpiece.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Accurate alignment of the blade with the intended cutting line is essential for achieving precise and safe cuts on a miter saw. Misalignment can lead to inaccurate cuts, wasted material, and even dangerous kickback or binding of the workpiece. Before starting the cut, carefully position the workpiece against the fence and ensure the blade is aligned with the marked cutting line. This ensures that the cut is made exactly where intended, minimizing the risk of errors and accidents.Rate this question:
-
- 15.
True or False. Hold the stock FIRMLY down on the table AND against the fence as you are cutting.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
To ensure a safe and accurate cut, it is important to hold the stock firmly down on the table and against the fence. This helps to prevent any movement or slipping of the stock during the cutting process, which could lead to inaccurate cuts or potential accidents. By firmly holding the stock in place, the user maintains control over the stock and reduces the risk of injury.Rate this question:
-
- 16.
A kickback usually occurs when someone tries to cut cylindrical (round) stock.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
A kickback usually occurs when someone tries to cut cylindrical (round) stock because the round shape of the stock can cause it to roll or spin during the cutting process. This can lead to the stock being thrown back towards the person operating the cutting tool, causing injury or damage. Therefore, it is important to take precautions and secure the round stock properly to prevent kickbacks.Rate this question:
-
- 17.
A kickback can easily occur if the operator is not holding the stock firmly against the fence and table.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
If the operator is not holding the stock firmly against the fence and table, there is a higher chance of a kickback occurring. A kickback is a dangerous situation where the stock being cut is forcefully thrown back towards the operator. By not holding the stock firmly, it is more likely to move or shift during the cutting process, increasing the risk of a kickback. Therefore, the statement is true.Rate this question:

-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
The statement suggests that the best way to cut accurately is to place the blade against the stock and then turn the switch on. However, this is incorrect. The best way to cut accurately is to first align the blade with the desired cutting line on the stock, and then turn the switch on. By aligning the blade before turning on the switch, you ensure that the cut will be precise and accurate.Rate this question:

When using a miter saw, it is acceptable to leave the blade spinning after completing a cut to save time on the next operation.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Leaving the blade spinning after completing a cut on a miter saw poses a significant safety hazard. The operator or others nearby could accidentally come into contact with the rotating blade, leading to severe injury. Proper miter saw procedures dictate that the blade should be allowed to come to a complete stop before removing material, making adjustments, or leaving the work area. This ensures that the saw is in a safe and controlled state, minimizing the risk of accidents.Rate this question:
