    Correct Answer
    A. Let the machine coast to a complete stop and tell the instuctor
    Explanation
    If the blade breaks or comes off the wheels, the first step is to shut off the power to prevent any further damage or injury. Then, it is important to stand clear of the machine to ensure personal safety. Opening the wheel guards should be avoided as it can expose the operator to potential hazards. The correct action to take is to let the machine coast to a complete stop, as this will allow any remaining momentum to dissipate safely. Finally, it is crucial to inform the instructor about the incident so that appropriate actions can be taken to address the issue.

    • One inch

    • 1/2 inch

    Correct Answer
    A. Two inches
    Explanation
    The correct answer is two inches. This means that you should not put your fingers closer to the blade than two inches. This is important for safety reasons as it helps to prevent accidents and injuries while using the blade. By keeping a distance of two inches, you can ensure that your fingers are safely away from the blade and reduce the risk of any potential harm.

    • Reach around

    • Cut curves with

    Correct Answer
    A. Reach around
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "reach around." This means that you should not try to reach around a moving bandsaw blade. This is because it is extremely dangerous to try to reach around a blade that is in motion, as it can easily cause serious injury or even amputation. It is important to always prioritize safety when working with power tools.

  • 6. 

    To avoid bending and breaking a blade and damaging your work, you should not twist or bend the saw blade with your stock. Make                    before sawing        sharp curves and never use extreme force to cut your material.

    • Dark lines

    • Fast cuts

    • Double lines

    • Relief cuts

    Correct Answer
    A. Relief cuts
    Explanation
    To avoid bending and breaking the saw blade and damaging the work, relief cuts should be made before sawing sharp curves. Relief cuts help to release the tension in the material and prevent it from binding or pinching the blade. This allows for smoother and safer cuts, as it reduces the force required to cut the material and minimizes the risk of the blade getting stuck or causing damage.

    • Clean off the machine

    • Turn on the power

    • Raise the guard

    • Turn off the power

    Correct Answer
    A. Turn off the power
    Explanation
    Turning off the power before backing out of a cut is important to avoid any accidents or injuries. It ensures that the blade is not spinning and reduces the risk of the blade pulling off its wheels. This step should be taken as a safety precaution to ensure the machine is not in operation while making any adjustments or movements.

    • One inch above

    • Within 1/2 inch

    • 1/4 inch above

    • 1/8 inch below

    Correct Answer
    A. 1/4 inch above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to set the saw guide 1/4 inch above the stock before turning on the power. This means that the saw guide should be positioned slightly higher than the stock material to ensure a clean and accurate cut. Setting it at this height allows for the blade to make contact with the stock without cutting into it too deeply, preventing any potential damage or errors.

    Rate this question:

  • 9.

    • Front side

    • Right side

    • Back side

    • Left side

    Correct Answer
    A. Right side
    Explanation
    Standing on the right side of the bandsaw while it is running is not recommended because if the blade breaks, it is likely to fly in that direction. This can pose a serious safety hazard and cause harm to anyone standing on the right side of the bandsaw. It is important to always stand clear of the bandsaw while it is in operation to avoid any potential accidents or injuries.
