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. |

Levelling | is the process of removing lumps and ridges in the blade using the appropriate and specialised saw hammers |
Tensioning | is the process of placing tension in a blade to counteract forces and rotational stresses |
Work order is to include: | instructions for the levelling and tensioning of circular saws in designated equipmentand may include:instructions for the environmental monitoring of work and proceduresenvironmental care requirements relevant to the work |
Appropriate personnel may include: | supervisorssuppliersclientscolleaguesmanagers |
Equipment may include: | hammersstretcher rollsspecialised levelling rollstensioning instrumentsgauges and straight edges to check accuracy of hammering or rolling processes on particular sections of the saw blade |
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 |
Disposing of may include: | recycling unserviceable saws/saws damaged in the levelling and tensioning process that cannot be repaired re-using unserviceable saws/saws damaged in the levelling and tensioning process that cannot be repaired |
Radial and circular ridges or lumps are to include: | defects obtained during saw operation |
Gauges and straight edges are to include: | measuring instruments used to check the results of hammering and/or rolling the blade |
Stretcher and levelling rolls are to include: | devices for assisting in the process of removing saw defects such as ridges and lumps |
Patterns | are the sequences applied when hammering or rolling identified areas of the blade to remove distortions and stresses in the form of lumps, ridges, twists, loose, tight, or neutral sections |
Spring-back | is the principle of compensating for 'metal creep' that causes saw blade steel to stress-relieve over time thus reducing tension permanence in blades |
Curvature | is the amount of tension achieved in a blade by compressing and elongating predetermined sections or zones in the blade |
