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 field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Power tools include one (1) or more of the following:

electric or pneumatic/hydraulic drills

grinders

jigsaws

nibblers

cutting saws

sanders

planers

routers

pedestal drills

pedestal grinders

Power tool operations include one (1) or more of the following:

clamping

alignments

adjustments

Applications include one (1) or more of the following:

loosening and fastening items or components

shaping, finishing, cutting, grinding of metallic and non-metallic materials and/or tool bits to size and shape

Drawings include one (1) or more of the following:

drawings and sketches not covered by AS 1100 Technical drawing or AS 1102 Graphical symbols for electrotechnical documentation, and their equivalents

work specifications that include graphic representations that do not require interpretation

Clamping includes one (1) or more of the following:

multigrips
