If you are unsure of how to perform a task, what should you do?

Asking the instructor for help when you are unsure of how to perform a task is the best course of action because it ensures you receive accurate and thorough guidance. Instructors are trained to provide the necessary support, clarify any confusion, and teach the proper techniques and safety protocols. This approach not only enhances your understanding of the task but also reinforces safe practices in the shop environment, minimizing the risk of accidents or errors that could occur from guessing or proceeding without clarity. Seeking help demonstrates responsibility and a commitment to safety, which are crucial in any shop setting.
