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 the repair of wide band and gang 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 |
Wide band and gang saws are to include: | large heavy duty saws used widely in the Forestry Industry |
Maintenance may include: | the correction of:lumpsridgescracksbroken or damaged teeth |
Equipment may include: | hammersstretcher / tension rollslevelling rollstension gauges and straight edges to check accuracy of levelling and tensioningwelding equipmentand a range of hand-held tools including:punchesengineers hammersangle grinderssandershand filesabrasive paper/cloth |
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 un-serviceable saws/saws where teeth, tips or blade cracks are damaged during the repair process and cannot be repairedre-using un-serviceable saws/saws where teeth, tips or blade cracks are damaged during the repair process and cannot be repaired |
Ridges or lumps are to include: | defects and distortions obtained during saw blade operation |
Gauges and straight edges are to include: | measuring and accuracy instruments used in checking the results of hammering and tensioning |
Levelling is to include: | mechanical gear driven devices used to assist in the process of removing saw defects and distortions such as ridges, lumps, and twists |
Stretcher rolls and levelling rolls are to include: | devices for assisting in the process of removing saw defects such as ridges and lumps |
Patterns are to include: | methods which use hammers or rolls to remove defects evenly and without affecting the opposing side |
Curvature | is the distance or chord height measured when the centre of the blade falls away as a result of an elongating inner zonechord height 'tension drop' is generally measured with a tension gauge having a curvature that suits blade width, thickness, and production conditions |
Tensioning | is the process of using mechanically driven rolls to compress and elongate certain sections of the inner zone of a blade; compression of the inner zone places the outer edges of the blade in tensionartificially stiffens the cutting edge and reduces the influence of sawing forces that cause buckling of the cutting edge and lateral instability |
Welding jigs | are jigs or benches which hold the saw and/or teeth in place securely to allow welding to occur'benches' incorporate anvils and clamps to lock the blade into welding position |
Welding may include: | processes such as:oxyacetylene (fuel gas) weldinggas tungsten arc welding (GTAW/TIGgas metal arc welding (GMAW/MIG) |
Metal penetration and density is to include: | a weld bead which provides full penetration fusing together adjacent metal partsa weld free from any faults that would have the potential to weaken the strength and endurance capability of the weld deposit and weld zone |
Run-on and run-off tabs | are used mainly in GMAW and GTAW welding processes to ensure full penetration of the weld bead at the start and finish of the weldare removed after annealing |
Tolerance may include: | profilepitchsetmaterial thickness to manufacturer's specifications |
Records and reports may include: | maintain of wide band and gang sawsinspectionstorage locationsquality outcomeshazardsincidentsequipment malfunctionsand may be:manualusing a computer-based system or another appropriate organisational communication system |
