Elements and Performance Criteria
- Prepare for cutting
- Applicable occupational health and safety (OHS), environmental, legislative and organisational requirements relevant to cutting material using high speed optimiser are identified and followed
- Job requirements are obtained from work order or computer download in line with site procedures
- Materials suitable for cutting to length and angles are obtained from pre-selected order or identified from available stock
- Program requirements are selected and loaded, and machine cycle is checked in line with site procedures
- Material cutting patterns and saw setup sequences are identified to enable loading of boards for cutting
- Cutting equipment is checked, adjustments made where necessary, and started in line with manufacturer recommendations and site procedures
- Communication with others is established and maintained in line with OHS requirements
- Operate programmed machinery
- Materials are loaded and machinery is operated in line with planned cutting sequence, specifications and OHS requirements
- First board cut after setup is checked for length and angle to site or order tolerances, and setup is adjusted as required
- Equipment lock-out procedures are applied in line with OHS requirements and site procedures
- Off-cuts and rejected boards are identified, segregated and disposed of in line with site procedures and environmental requirements
- Problems are identified, assessed and resolved or promptly reported in line with site procedures
- Monitor and adjust processing
- Processing is regularly monitored and minor problems are resolved in line with OHS requirements, site procedures and tolerances
- Equipment is maintained in line with OHS requirements, site procedures and manufacturer recommendations
- Major problems and equipment faults are promptly reported in line with site procedures
- Work area is regularly cleared of off-cuts and sawdust in line with site standards, and environmental and OHS requirements
