Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare for job
   • Job specifications are read and interpreted from job documentation or production control system
   • Set-up is carried out correctly in minimum time with minimum wastage
   • Availability of all job-related components is checked
2. Set up sheet/section system
   • Feeder and delivery systems are set up and adjusted according to job specifications
   • Double/misfeed detectors are set up according to job specifications
   • Sheet/section pick-up, transfer and transportation system is set up and adjusted according to job specifications
   • Transfer systems are set up and adjusted according to job specifications
3. Set up machine and conduct sample run
   • Collating/inserting system is set up and adjusted according to job specifications
   • Material to be used for sample is organised correctly
   • Machine is set up and operated to produce a specified sample according to Work Health and Safety (WHS) requirements, manufacturer’s specifications and enterprise procedures
4. Organise sample inspection and/or testing
   • Sample is visually inspected and/or tested, or laboratory testing is organised, according to enterprise procedures
   • Results are interpreted to determine adjustment requirements
   • Adjustments are carried out according to product and machine specifications

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

correctly set up machines for basic collating or inserting according to job specifications, and within the production timeframe for TWO different jobs (if possible one sheet and one section) involving a minimum of FOUR products, according to listed performance criteria

operate all safety devices on the machine.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

set up a double/misfeed sheet calliper system that ensures smooth transportation and delivery of sheets or sections through the machine

identify largest and smallest sheet or section size that can be run through this machine

identify areas of the machine that can be adjusted to allow for 42gsm stock

confirm the speed the machine can operate at

identify indicators the machine needs lubrication

determine an acceptable collating result

determine adjustments to the machine to alleviate ‘bruising’ of NCR paper

identify circumstances in which the machine needs adjustment, and the cause of sheets creasing in the machine delivery

consider important information concerning collating included in the job documentation or production control system

work health and safety factors for:

operating and adjusting a double/misfeed sheet calliper system

setting up sheet/section transportation and delivery systems

identify factors to consider when setting up the feeder

name different types of sheet/section delivery systems

identify machine manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to this task, where they are kept, and the information included in them.
