Question 212General Subjects - QMED

The correct answer is D) wear safety glasses. When using a chisel, it is important to wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from flying debris or chips of material that may be dislodged during the chiseling process. This is a crucial safety measure, as eye injuries can be severe and potentially permanent if struck by debris from the chisel. The other answer choices are not the correct safety precautions for using a chisel. Wearing gloves (A) can actually be dangerous as they may get caught in the tool and cause injury. Using a non-sparking type chisel (B) is not necessary for general woodworking or metalworking applications. Holding the tool lightly (C) is not recommended, as a firm grip is needed to maintain control and precision when chiseling.
