Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to operate basic static machines used for sawing, planing, sanding and drilling and complete non-specialist maintenance. Work is completed in a forest and wood products factory setting.The unit applies to job roles including saw operator, timber manufacturing worker, timber products worker, customer service/sales assistant (timber merchandising), woodmachinist.No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

The following resources must be made available:

machining tools and equipment:

measuring equipment

docking saws

bench saws

panel saws

bandsaws

panel planers

surface planers

drill presses

boring machines

edge sanders

profile sanders

panel sanders

stroke sanders

maintenance tools and equipment

consumable components for replacement during operator maintenance

personal protective equipment suitable for machining activities

manufacturers’ instructions for use and maintenance of equipment

work order for machining activities with specific instructions for the machining and storage of timber and timber products

relevant personnel for the purposes of communicating information

template reports for recording processing and equipment faults

organisational procedures for machining activities.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessor requirements

hold the appropriate assessor competency standards as outlined in regulations; and

be able to demonstrate vocational competencies at least to the level being assessed; and

be able to demonstrate how they are continuing to develop their VET knowledge and skills as well as maintaining their industry currency and assessor competence.
