Qualification -
Unit of Competency LMFFDT4011A - Set up, operate and maintain basic static woodworking machines for furniture designs
Description This unit covers the competency to set up, operate and maintain basic static woodworking machines to achieve furniture design requirements.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit supports the attainment of skills and knowledge required for competent workplace performance in the set up, tuning, operation, maintenance and general problem solving of basic static woodworking machines, including a table saw, thicknesser, jointer and band saw.The competency applies to a work room and on-site environment and involves application of skills and knowledge at the highly skilled craftsman or artisan level. This unit requires employability skills in planning and organising, technology use and problem solving in order to correctly set up machines to perform specific woodwork operations. Communication skills are used to access and interpret work requirements and self management is applied to ensure ongoing performance of machines is maintained.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the relevant Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for the use of static woodworking machines

Interpret design requirements and locate and apply relevant information

Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment

Locate and apply relevant information related to static woodworking machines

Set up, operate and maintain static woodworking machines listed in the range statement

Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:

prevent damage to goods, equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

minimise the risk of injury to self and others

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or simulated workplace

Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements

The following resources should be made available:

workplace location or simulated workplace

range of quality hand tools and support documentation

a legitimate specialist hand tool requirement

specifications and work instructions

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Furnishing Industry Training Package

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application

Assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other hand tools related units of competency

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Required skills

collect, organise and understand information related to work orders, basic plans and safety procedures

communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination of work with site supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

interpret and apply technical and quality information in the identification, selection and maintenance of static woodworking machines

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity

use pre-checking and inspection techniques which relate to the use of machines to avoid re-work and wastage

identify the most appropriate tool, the setting specifications and the methods for maintaining the high precision needs throughout the work sequence

recognise and respond to circumstances outside instructions or personal competence

plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any back tracking, work flow interruptions or wastage

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate other material requirements

clarify and confirm work instructions

plan work within given task parameters

accept responsibility for given tasks

set, monitor and satisfy personal work goals

satisfy the competency requirements for the job
