Evidence of the ability to:
produce products involving a range of minor flat-bed cutting processes including: kiss cutting, hole punching, hole drilling, slotting, slitting, sheeting, creasing, scoring, and pin perforating, indexing and round cornering according to job specifications and production timeframes
demonstrate THREE different processes, and for each process, complete TWO jobs with different types and sizes of substrate and design of finished patterns, according to manufacturer’s and job specifications, enterprise procedures and listed performance criteria.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
explain work health and safety (WHS) factors for:
setting up and/or operating machine transport systems
setting up and/or operating machine delivery systems
maintaining and adjusting the cutting process
conducting machine shutdown procedures
identify checks needed when:
substrate is removed from the machine
packing cutting devices
waste is removed from the machine and surrounding area for disposal or recycling
cutting devices or knives are cleaned or replaced ready for the next run
during the machine shutdown procedure
identify areas of the machine to monitor and adjust to ensure trouble-free operation
explain indicators that mean knife replacement is needed
determine when a cutting pressure adjustment is required
explain the procedure for correcting common machine faults
determine machine cleaning requirements at the end of the run
determine production records to be kept or written up, and information to include in this reporting procedure
identify machine manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to this task, where they are kept, and the information in them.
