7.2 Machine is set up and operated to produce a specified sample according to work health and safety (WHS) requirements, manufacturer’s specifications and enterprise procedures

7.3 Sample is visually inspected and/or tested or laboratory testing is organised according to enterprise procedures

7.4 Results are interpreted to determine adjustment requirements

7.5 Adjustments are carried out according to product and machine specifications

Evidence of the ability to:

correctly set up machines for basic rotary die cutting or embossing for up TWO jobs, changing the type and size of substrates and design of finished patterns according to manufacturer’s and job specifications, enterprise procedures and the unit requirements

demonstrate all safety devices on the machine.

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 (WHS) factors for:

setting up cutting devices

setting up and/or operating machine delivery systems

setting up sheet transportation systems

setting up reel transportation systems

identify the checks needed when:

cutting devices are mounted on a cylinder

cutting devices are attached to the machine

substrate is removed from the machine

explain information concerning rotary die cutting or embossing found in the job documentation or production control system

determine adjustments to the unwind reel that may be needed to suit various jobs

identify important areas to be considered during webbing procedures

identify important areas to check when the feeder unit is set up

identify important areas of the reel delivery system that may need to be adjusted according to job specifications

list steps to ensure the delivery system operates effectively

determine ways the finished product can be secured for dispatch

identify ways to determine machine pressure

identify ways to determine machine cutting depths

identify the need to adjust in-line units

list details of the completed sample to be examined to ensure conformance with client requirements

explain storing the cutting edges and counter knives (anvils) to guard against damage and deterioration

identify machine manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to this task, where they are kept, and the information 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 basic rotary die cutting or embossing machinery and special purpose tools, equipment and materials.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
