Q

Using a file without a handle may result in __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Proper use of hand tools, especially files • Common workshop safety hazards involving unguarded sharp tangs • Basic personal protective equipment and safe tool handling practices

💭 Think About

• Think about what part of a file is normally covered by the handle and what could happen if your hand is on that area without protection. • Which of these choices describes a realistic safety hazard that could occur immediately when using a file with no handle? • Ask yourself: which option is directly related to your body, not the workpiece or the tool’s performance?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify what the tang of a file is and why it has a handle. • Decide which option reflects a direct risk to the user, not just a change in how the work turns out. • Eliminate any options that don’t logically follow from how a file is constructed and used.
