B1 SA Flashcards
What safety precaution must you take before installing or changing a drill bit of an electric drill?
Remove or disconnect the drill from the power source.
What do you do before drilling in metal or other hard surfaces?
Use a center punch to mark the exact center of the hole to be drilled.
What minimum personal protective equipment shall be used for all jobs using a bench grinder?
Eye and face protection.
How fast should an electric saw blade be spinning before it contacts the material to be cut?

List four safety precautions when dealing with pneumatic tools?
(1) Inspect the air hose for cracks or other defects. If you identify defects, make repairs, or replace the hose before using.
(2) Before connecting the air hose to the air outlet fitting, open the control valve momentarily. Then connect the hose to the fitting and open the valve again momentarily—this ensures the hose is clear of water and other foreign material.
(3) Stop the flow of air to a pneumatic tool by closing the control valve at the compressed air outlet before connecting, disconnecting, adjusting, replacing, or repairing a pneumatic tool.
(4) When using sockets, make sure they are designed specifically for pneumatic tools (impact sockets). Non-pneumatic accessories cannot withstand the stresses of pneumatic equipment and can result in damaged equipment and injury to personnel.
How many psi are used for safe efficient operation of a pneumatic tool?
90 psi.
What ensures the socket or attachment does not fly off an impact wrench?
Spring-loaded ball bearing or socket lock.
What does the torque regulator do for a pneumatic impact wrench?
Reduces the possibility of shearing or damaging threads when installing nuts and bolts.
Familiarity of what two things are prerequisites for safe operation of lifting devices?
The manual and equipment to be used.
What will be worn if there is a potential for injury from falling objects or moving equipment?
Protective helmets and safety-toed boots.
What are four items that can be used in conjunction with wire-rope slings when lifting munitions?
(1) Forklift.
(2) Jammer (bomb lift truck).
(3) Over-head hoist.
(4) Crane.
Where can general guidance be found for safe operating procedures using lifting devices?
AFI 91-203 and/or the specific manual for the lifting device.
What information do the multimeter’s annunciators display?
The polarity, the condition of the meter’s battery, whether you are in manual or auto-range, and negative annunciator for the bar graph.
What are the two modes of operation for a Fluke 8025-series multimeter?
RANGE and HOLD.
What mode of the Fluke 8025-series multimeter is most useful when taking measurements in a circuit where it may be necessary to keep your eyes on the test leads after they are positioned?
HOLD mode.

What is the primary brake system for the MHU–110 trailer?
Hydraulic/surge brake.
What is the maximum load capacity of the MHU–226 trailer?
12,000 lbs for conventional loads and 8,000 lbs for nuclear loads.
How many openings are on the deck of the MHU–226 trailer?
Three.
How many storage boxes are on the MHU–226 trailer?
Five.
What is the MHU–226 equipped with that aids in having a tighter steering radius?
Four-wheel steering (double Ackerman).
Name the three types of trailers you may encounter.
(1) Vans (closed).
(2) Flatbed (open).
(3) Rollerized.
What is the actual length of a 40 foot trailer when you include the gooseneck?
51 feet.
The rollerized trailer is designed for what specific purpose?
To handle cargo loaded on 463L aluminum aircraft pallets.
Who has the responsibility to detect deficiencies on trailers?
The using vehicle operator.
What is a transport module and how is it used for the 2W0X1 career field?
Essentially, a large container, designed to secure atop the MHU–141, MHU–226 or MHU–110 munitions trailer for the transport of small built-up munitions.
What is the maximum transport capacity of the BDU–33/MK 106 transport module?
