Question 3

What type of sander allows the technician to move the sander in any direction without leaving scarring in the surface of the material being sanded?&#10;A) Disk&#10;B) Belt&#10;C) Spindle&#10;D) Random orbit

Accepted Answer

Random orbit sanders use a circular sanding motion combined with a swirled pattern to prevent scarring on the surface being sanded. This allows the technician to move the sander in any direction without leaving marks. Disk sanders and spindle sanders have a circular sanding motion but do not have the swirled pattern that prevents scarring, while belt sanders move in a linear direction and are prone to leaving marks if not used carefully.

Question 4

Drywall screws are used to attach drywall to wall studs.

Accepted Answer

Drywall screws have a sharp point and coarse threads that make it easier to penetrate drywall and hold it in place on wall studs.

Question 5

When operating a band saw, always stand to the right of the band to prevent injury in the event of the band breaking.

Accepted Answer

When operating a band saw, it's generally advised to stand directly in front of the machine, not to the side, to maintain control and visibility. Standing to the side does not necessarily prevent injury if the band breaks and can actually reduce your ability to control the workpiece safely.

Question 6

Duplex nails are used for installing asphalt and fiberglass roofing shingles.

Accepted Answer

Duplex nails are designed for temporary construction needs, such as formwork or scaffolding, because they have a double head that allows for easy removal, not for installing roofing shingles. Roofing nails are specifically designed for that purpose.

Question 7

What type of power saw is similar to a hand saw except that the blade moves back and forth?&#10;A) Circular&#10;B) Saber&#10;C) Jig&#10;D) Reciprocating

Accepted Answer

A reciprocating saw is similar to a hand saw in the sense that the blade moves back and forth, allowing for versatility in cutting through a variety of materials. Circular saws have a rotating blade and are best suited for accurate, long cuts, while saber saws are handheld and have a smaller blade for finer, more detailed work. Jig saws are also handheld and have a reciprocating blade, but are used for cutting curves and irregular shapes.

Question 8

When using a table saw, NEVER PULL the workpiece through the saw.

Accepted Answer

Pulling the workpiece through a table saw is dangerous as it can cause kickback, loss of control, and potential injury. The correct method is to push the workpiece through the saw.

Question 9

____________ are the most often used nails.&#10;A) Common nails&#10;B) Box nails&#10;C) Finishing nails&#10;D) Roofing nails
