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 joining of band saw blades in designated equipment and may also include: instructions for the environmental monitoring of work and procedures environmental care requirements relevant to the work |
Appropriate personnel may include: | supervisors suppliers clients colleagues managers |
Blades may include: | narrow and wide band saws blades that cut both ferrous and non-ferrous materials frame or 'gangsaw' blades other blades that require joins that alter blade length |
Joining | is the process of using welding equipment that fuses together the two ends of a saw blade to form a continuous loop or alter the total length of a blade to suit machine design requirements |
Equipment may include: | specialised band saw welding plant GMAW GTAW MMAW oxyacetylene equipment grinding and finishing equipment hand or power operated tools |
Communication may include: | verbal and non-verbal language constructive feedback active listening questioning to clarify and confirm understanding use of positive, confident and cooperative language use of language and concepts appropriate to individual social and cultural differences control of tone of voice body language |
Pre start-up checks | are conducted to ensure: equipment has been set-up correctly systems are performing accurately equipment is operating to optimum performance |
Saw blank | is a new fully toothed band saw blade or ribbon of steel which is yet to be joined to form a loop |
Weld defects | are any features produced in the weld zone or weld deposit that have the effect of weakening the weld zone or deposit |
Ends | are the ends of the blank or the ends of the existing blade being rejoined at either the crack or the previous joining point |
Welder | refer to equipment |
Tolerances | are the spacing between the ends when welding, allowing for penetration of the weld to occur |
Burning is to include: | is the overheating of the weld deposit and saw steel during removal of the weld bead to a point that has an effect of weakening the strength of the weld or join |
Annealing | is the process of post heating the heat affected weld zone to the recommended temperature range and allowing slow cooling of the post-heated zones can be done manually or by specialised equipment |
Finishing | is the process of: removing all distortions from the blade surface tensioning the weld zone (where applicable) adjusting back length of the blade (where applicable) cleaning welded zone to enterprise standard |
Disposing of may include: | recycling sub-standard joined/repaired band saw blades and band saw blades damaged during the join/repair process re-using sub-standard joined/repaired band saw blades and band saw blades damaged during the join/repair process |
Records and reports may include: | the blade type welding technique size inspection grading and labelling outcomes storage locations quality outcomes hazards incidents equipment malfunctions and may be: manual using a computer-based system or other appropriate organisational communication system |
