Explanation
When installing a blade, it is important to ensure that the teeth are pointing downwards. This is because the teeth of the blade are designed to cut through the material being worked on in a specific direction. By pointing the teeth downwards, the blade will be able to effectively cut through the material and achieve the desired result. Installing the blade with the teeth pointing in any other direction may result in ineffective cutting or even damage to the blade or the material being worked on.

It is false that one should never change the blade on the machine and always rely on the instructor to do so. This statement is incorrect because it is important for individuals to learn how to change the blade on the machine themselves. By doing so, they can ensure that the blade is properly maintained and replaced when necessary. Relying solely on the instructor for this task may create delays and hinder productivity.

Explanation

- C.

- D.

Correct Answer
A. Thrown into the trash can immediately

Explanation
Little pieces that are cut off should always be thrown into the trash can immediately to ensure cleanliness and prevent any potential hazards. Leaving them on the table or tossing them to the floor and picking them up later can create a mess and increase the risk of accidents or injuries. Ignoring them is not a responsible option as it can lead to further clutter and potential hygiene issues. Therefore, throwing them into the trash can immediately is the most appropriate and sensible choice.

Students should always follow the ____________ part of the cut line on the piece they are cutting. The cut line is the line you draw on the boaed to follow while you are cutting
- A.
  
  Inside
- B.
  
  Middle
- C.
  
  Outside
- D.
  
  Does not matter, you can always sand it down later.
Correct Answer
C. Outside

Explanation
When cutting a piece, it is important for students to follow the outside part of the cut line. This means that they should cut just outside the line they have drawn on the board. By doing so, they ensure that they are not cutting into the actual piece that they want to keep. If they were to cut on the inside or middle of the cut line, they would risk cutting into the piece and potentially ruining it. The suggestion to sand it down later implies that cutting on the outside allows for some margin of error, which can be corrected during the sanding process.

T or F Tension Lever (or tension knob) should be set to highest tension before changing blade.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Setting the tension lever or knob to the highest tension before changing the blade is not necessary. The tension lever or knob should be adjusted based on the specific requirements of the blade being used and the material being cut. Setting it to the highest tension may cause unnecessary strain on the blade and could potentially lead to damage or breakage. Therefore, the correct answer is false.
