identify checks needed for:

mounting cutting devices on a flat-bed

registering and proofing cutting devices

securing cutting devices to the machine

setting up, adjusting and operating flat-bed cutting devices

determine the selection criteria of particular cutting devices

identify important areas to consider/check:

during feeder unit set up

to ensure suitability of in-line processes

list steps to ensure the delivery system operates effectively

determine machine pressure, machine cutting depths and adjustments needed to in-line units

identify details of the completed sample to examine to ensure conformance with client requirements

explain product testing procedures available and how often they should be used

common faults that can occur with the flat-bed cutting process

determine factors that indicate a need to replace knives/blades/cutting edges

explain cutting edges storing to guard against damage and deterioration
