Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare for forming, bending and shaping to meet specifications
   • Forming, bending and shaping requirements are identified
   • The equipment is set up and adjusted to achieve required outcomes
   • Simple templates are prepared to meet outcome specifications
   • Pre-operational equipment checks are conducted
   • Health and safety hazards / maintenance requirements are identified and reported to appropriate personnel according to workplace reporting procedures
2. Operate forming, bending and shaping equipment to achieve required outcome
   • Equipment is started, operated and shut down according to operating procedures and manufacturer's specification
   • Materials are accurately positioned in the machine/equipment
   • Equipment is adjusted as required to achieve required outcomes
   • The workplace meets housekeeping standards
3. Form, bend and shape material
   • Material is levelled, straightened, rolled, pressed or bent to achieve required outcomes
   • Material is formed and shaped to size to meet specifications
   • Final form/shape is checked for compliance to specification
   • Non-conforming shapes are identified and corrected as required
