The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. |

Work order is to include: | instructions for planing or sanding boards or veneer panels and may include:speciescolourtypewidthlengththickness quantityinstructions for the environmental monitoring of work and proceduresenvironmental care requirements relevant to the work |
Appropriate personnel may include: | supervisorssuppliersclientscolleaguesmanagers |
Panel is to include: | any manufactured panel product with a timber veneer any solid timber panels (single board or glue joined boards) |
Planing | is the process of dressing solid timber panels to a specified thickness, removing the rough surfaces and any imperfections |
Sanding | is the process of finishing a panel and removing any machine marks or imperfections to an acceptable standard of smoothness or surface texture, which will allow coating |
Equipment is to include: | procedures for equipment lock-out, such as protecting operators and co-workers from accidental injury by isolating the machine from the power sourceand may include:panel planers or thicknesserssurface planers or buzzersdrum sanderspanel sandersveneer sandersstroke sanders |

Pre-startup checks | are conducted to ensure:machine has been set up correctlysystems are performing accurately machine is operating to optimum performance |
Feed rate is to include: | rate of speed the board or veneered panel is passed through the planing/sanding machineimpact on equipmentfinish and production output |
Board refers to: | solid timber panels |
Veneer | is the thin sheet of timber (approximately 0.5mm thick or to organisational requirement for sliced veneer and varying thickness for rotary) used to cover medium density fibreboard, chipboard, fibreboard, plywood and other manufactured board products with a natural timber coatingtypes are usually referred to as quarter sawn, back sawn and radial (or rotary) sawn |
Dust extraction may include: | machine specific dust extraction systems with collection bags hopper-based extraction systems that link all machines to the one extractor source through a series of connected pipes |
Visually assessed is to include: | assessment of boards or veneer boards to determine:thicknessfinish qualityveneer faults |
Outfeed | is the process of producing panels from the machining operation and handling them in such a way that prevents damage to the planed or sanded surfaces |
Recovery | is the volume of timber planed or sanded from a resource compared to the volume of that resourceis expressed as a percentage - planed/sanded timber volume/initial timber volume x 100maximises the value of the resource |
