How to Certify
Regardless of prior experience, you must be certified to use any power tool in the HCC lab. A power tool is any tool that has either a power cord or a battery. Additionally, you must wear goggles when operating any HCC power tool. To certify on a power tool: Once you have passed the practical exam, you are allowed to use the tool as needed, and you are allowed (and encouraged) to teach others to use the tool.
 * 1) Read and understand the appropriate tool certification wiki.
 * 2) Pass the Wikiversity tool certification quiz.
 * 3) Pass the Canvas tool certification quiz.
 * 4) Contact a lab aide (John or Jennifer) or instructor and have them give you a practical exam, where they watch as you demonstrate your knowledge of the tool
