Produce cut (trimmed) product

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to produce a knife-trimmed product using a single or multiple knife trimmer or spine trimmer while maintaining the production process, monitoring machinery for faults and problems, and rectifying minor problems according to enterprise procedures.

It applies to individuals performing a range of routine tasks, who utilise a variety of skills to ensure production of products in line with quality standards.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

7.5 Production records or other documentation are accurately completed where required by enterprise procedures

Evidence of the ability to:

use a three-knife trimming unit to accurately complete THREE jobs of various types, sizes and thicknesses of substrate according to manufacturer’s and job specifications and enterprise procedures within required production schedule timeframes

demonstrate all safety devices on the machine

demonstrate use of computerised control, monitoring and data entry systems

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

identify work health and safety factors to consider:

for the transport and delivery areas of the machine

while the trimming process is operational

while conducting machine shutdown, maintenance and cleaning

name procedures to ensure smooth transport of sections through the machine

list steps to ensure smooth delivery of the sections

identify how waste (offcut) should be removed from the work area

describe procedures to ensure the machine is kept running without interruption

describe what needs to be adjusted if the cover is marked (scuffed)

identify basic in-line processes associated with the machine

list checks to be made during the machine shutdown procedure

identify areas of the machine that require cleaning at the end of the run

identify quality aspects to consider in a completed cutting job

list what needs to be checked when waste is removed from the machine and surrounding area for disposal or recycling

identify machine manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to this task, where they are kept, and information included in them.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the converting, binding and finishing field of work and include access to a three-knife trimming unit and use of, special purpose tools, equipment and materials.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
