Version 1.0 Issue Date: March 2024
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to test and service electric outdoor power equipment according to manufacturer specifications. It involves preparing for the task, testing and servicing the equipment, performing post-service testing, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those working in the outdoor power equipment service and repair industry. The electric outdoor power equipment may be 240 volt or cordless battery powered, and includes shears, blowers, shredders, mulchers, chainsaws, line trimmers, or lawn edgers. This unit does not apply to 240 volt portable generators.
Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements may apply to this unit in some jurisdictions. Users are advised to check with the relevant regulatory authority.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
