Q & A
What is the purpose of the pre-operative check-up for farm tools, implements, and equipment?
-The purpose of the pre-operative check-up is to ensure that all farm tools and equipment are clean, sharp, and in good working condition before use, which helps in maintaining their efficiency and prolonging their lifespan.
How should one clean the cutting edges of garden tools?
-The cutting edges of garden tools should be cleaned using a sharpening stone. The tool should be stabilized, and then the stone should be used to carefully work over the blade, removing any dirt or rust.
What is the recommended method to apply lubricating oil to the end of a tool?
-Lubricating oil should be applied to the end of the tool and then carefully worked over the blade using the sharpening stone to ensure proper lubrication of the tool's moving parts.
Why is it important to disassemble moving parts of tools during the pre-operative check-up?
-Disassembling moving parts allows for thorough cleaning of accumulated rust and dirt from all metal surfaces, which is essential for the tool's smooth operation and longevity.
What type of brush is recommended for cleaning accumulated rust and dirt off all metal surfaces?
-A wide brush or a wire brush made of steel is recommended for cleaning accumulated rust and dirt off all metal surfaces, as it effectively removes debris and prepares the surface for further maintenance.
How can stubborn rust be removed from small tools?
-Stubborn rust on small tools can be removed using fine steel wool, which is gentle enough not to damage the tool but effective in scrubbing away rust.
What is the correct way to sharpen garden tools after they have been cleaned?
-After cleaning, garden tools should be sharpened by maintaining the original factory bevel or angle. This involves using a sharpening stone or file and following the correct angle and motion to ensure a sharp edge.
Why is it important to apply a few drops of oil or water to the stone when sharpening pruners?
-Applying oil or water to the stone when sharpening pruners helps to reduce friction and heat, and it aids in the sharpening process by carrying away metal filings, resulting in a smoother and sharper edge.
What is the recommended method for sharpening with a file?
-When sharpening with a file, the file should be established in a vise or against a solid surface, and the blade should be pushed across the file in a motion away from the body to ensure an even stroke and avoid injury.
Why should form implements like ploughs and wooden harrows be checked thoroughly before use?
-Form implements should be checked thoroughly to ensure that all bolts and nuts are tightened, and moving parts are lubricated. This inspection helps prevent accidents and ensures the tools are ready for efficient use.
What should be done with tools that are found to be worn out during the pre-operative check-up?
-Worn-out tools should be separated from the rest and fixed immediately to avoid accidents and ensure the safety and efficiency of the remaining tools.
Is it true that using a wet stone in a stabilized way is not advisable?
-False. It is advisable to use a whetstone in a stabilized way to ensure safety and effectiveness during the sharpening process.
Should tools that are worn out be separated and fixed immediately to avoid accidents?
-True. Separating and promptly fixing worn-out tools is crucial to prevent accidents and maintain the functionality of the remaining tools.
When sharpening, should you try to maintain the original factory bevel or angle?
-True. Maintaining the original factory bevel or angle when sharpening helps to preserve the tool's design and ensures optimal performance.
Should you always push the file across the blade in a motion away from your body when sharpening?
-True. Pushing the file across the blade away from the body is a safety measure that helps prevent injury during the sharpening process.
When sharpening with a file, should you use oil?
-False. Oil should not be used when sharpening with a file as it can clog the file's serrations and reduce the effectiveness of the sharpening process.
