    Correct Answer
    A. Make sure the guards are in the proper place
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to make sure the guards are in the proper place. This is important because machine guards are safety devices designed to protect operators from potential hazards such as moving parts or flying debris. Ensuring that the guards are in the proper place helps to minimize the risk of accidents or injuries while using the machine.

    Only one person, the operator, should be in the machines marked area

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because it is important for safety reasons that only one person, the operator, should be in the machines marked area. Having multiple people in the area can increase the risk of accidents or injuries, as there may not be enough space or visibility for everyone to work safely. By limiting access to the machines marked area to only the operator, it helps ensure that proper precautions can be taken and that the operator can focus on their tasks without distractions or interference from others.

    Only use power equipment when the instructor is present

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The correct answer is true because using power equipment without the presence of an instructor can be dangerous. Power equipment requires proper training and supervision to ensure that it is used safely and effectively. Without an instructor present, there is a higher risk of accidents or misuse of the equipment, which could result in injuries or damage. It is important to follow safety protocols and guidelines, and one of them is to only use power equipment when the instructor is present.

    If there are any problems with the machine you are using you should

    • Fix it yourself

    • Get a friend to fix it

    • Tell the instructor

    • Walk away and leave it for the next person

    Correct Answer
    A. Tell the instructor
    Explanation
    If there are any problems with the machine you are using, it is best to inform the instructor. They are responsible for the maintenance and troubleshooting of the equipment and will be able to address the issue appropriately. Fixing it yourself may lead to further damage or voiding any warranties. Getting a friend to fix it may not be reliable or authorized. Walking away and leaving it for the next person is irresponsible and may cause inconvenience to others. Therefore, informing the instructor is the most appropriate action to take.

    Correct Answer
    A. Are sharp and area is clear of debris
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "are sharp and area is clear of debris." This answer is the most appropriate because it ensures that the cutting machines are in good working condition and the area around them is free from any obstructions or hazards. This is important for maintaining safety and efficiency while using the machines. The other options, such as "dull and damaged" or "plugged in," do not address the necessary conditions for using cutting machines properly.
