My Woodshop Safety test With Complete Solutions
Name the machine used to cut lumber parallel to the grain - ANSWER-Table saw
Where should the saw be before starting a cut on the radial arm saw? -
ANSWER-Behind the fence Where should your hands be and what should they
be doing while making a crosscut on the radial arm saw? - ANSWER-Your hands
should never be in the path of the blade, while making a cut your left hand
should hold the stock firmly against the fence at least 6 inches from the blade.
Your right hand will pull the motor and blade firmly across the stock. How far
should the blade protrude above the lumber when using the table saw? why? -
ANSWER-The blade should protrude 1/4 inch above the stock. This will minimize
the risk of injury. When and why is a push stick used in this shop? - ANSWER-A
push stick is used while operating the table saw if the distance between the
fence and the blade is less than 6 inches. It is also used on the jointer if jointing
an edge if the stock is lower than the fence. This keeps the hands a safe
distance from the blade and greatly reduces the possibility of injury. Explain
what "Margin of safety" means. state the margin of safety for the radial arm
saw, the jointer, the table saw, the band saw, the scroll saw and the miter saw?
- ANSWER-Margin of safety is the closest that the operators fingers should be to
the blade at any given time. The margin of safety for the radial arm saw is 6"
Jointer 5" Table saw5" Bandsaw 2" Scroll saw 2" Miter saw 4" In what order do
you sate the dimension of a piece of stock and tell what machines you would
use to cut these various parts of a board? - ANSWER-The correct order is
thickness, width, and lengh using the planer for the thickness then jointing one
edge on the jointer cutting board width on the table saw and then to length on
the radial arm saw. Name the machines used to cross cut the grain of lumber
and the machine used to cut along the grain of lumber in the shop? - ANSWER-
The machines for crosscutting are the radial arm saw, miter saw, and the
sliding compound miter saw. The saw for cutting along the grain is the table
saw. When should scrapwood be removed from any machine? - ANSWER-When
the blade has come to a complete stop. What is the minimum length a board
should be before planing, jointing, or ripping on the saw ? - ANSWER-12 inches
Where should you stand while operating a jointer, planer, or table saw? why? -
ANSWER-To one side not directly behind it. To avoid possible kickback. When
can you use the table saw without a guard? - ANSWER-Never What should you
always use while operating the table saw but never both at the same time? -
ANSWER-The rip fence and the miter gauge. What are two important
requirements for stock before it can be cut on the table saw? - ANSWER-It must
have a flat surface and a straight edge. Why must you keep a firm grip on the
saw and the work piece while crosscutting on the radial arm saw? - ANSWER-
Because the saw tends to feed itself into the material. How should the stock be
held while using miter saws? - ANSWER-Firmly against the fence. When are
adjustments made on any saws or planers? - ANSWER-When they have come to
a complete stop. what must you do before changing bits on a router? -
ANSWER-Make sure the router is unplugged. List four safety practices that you
must follow while using a power nailer? - ANSWER-Never fire the nailer until the
nose piece is in contact with the work piece. Never finger the trigger while
carrying a nailer. Never attempt to overide the safety mechanism. Never try to
clear a jammed tool while it is still connected to an air supply or power source.
Waht is kickback on the table saw? List four possible situations that could
cause this to occur. - ANSWER-The material bends pinching the saw blade, rip
fence not parallel to the saw blade, offcut becomes wedged between the blade
