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. |

Appropriate personnel may include: | supervisorssuppliersclientscolleaguesmanagers |
Guides | are alloys secured to a carrier which provide straightness and smooth running of the blade by supporting it, not allowing it to move too far to the left, right or back |
Reconditioning is to include: | grinding the guide surface to restore it to a smooth flat surface machining the guide surface to restore it to a smooth flat surface |
Equipment may include: | grinding equipmentmetal lathesmilling machines |
Communication may include: | verbal and non-verbal languageconstructive feedbackactive listeningquestioning to clarify and confirm understandinguse of positive, confident and cooperative languageuse of language and concepts appropriate to individual social and cultural differencescontrol of tone of voicebody language |
Grinding | is the process of removing metal to restore a metal surface using grinding equipment |
Machining | is the process of removing metal to restore a metal surface using metal lathes or milling machines |
Dressing | is the process of cleaning or shaving the top surface of the grinding wheel to remove the build up of old sharpening metal and coolant |
Sharpening | is the process of grinding and honing the cutting bits in metal lathes or milling machines |
Scored material is to include: | guides which are deeply scratched or scraped by:irregular running of the bladepoor operation of the saw blunt or un-tensioned blade |
Speeds and feeds | is the speed the grinding wheel rotates or machine cuts at, too fast and it may burn the metal, too slow and it may produce a rough finish or grab the guide power feed controls movement of the guide to the desired rate |
Geometry | is the pitch and angle that a guide is ground or sharpened at, allowing for the material being reconditioned |
Disposing of may include: | recycling guides that cannot be reconditionedre-using guides that cannot be reconditioned |
Records and reports may include: | reconditioninginspectionstorage locationsquality outcomeshazardsincidentsequipment malfunctionsand may be:manualusing a computer-based system or another appropriate organisational communication system |
Carrier | is the saw attachment which holds the guide in place by the saw blade |
Tolerance | is the amount of space between the back of the blade and the guide to avoid the blade striking the guide |
Clearance | is the amount of space allowed for left and right movement |
