1.1.6. required cutting fluids

1.2. Workplace health and safety requirements, including personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work

1.3. The process for obtaining materials/components and moving completed work to the next process is identified

1.4. Tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked prior to use to ensure that they are appropriate for the work in terms of quality, serviceability and safety

1.5. Cutting equipment components and controls, including emergency stops and guards, are identified

1.6. Work sequence is planned to suit the job

2. Conduct cutting operation

2.1. Equipment is operated and monitored to ensure correct cut quality, output and that wastage is within allowable limits

2.2. Problems occurring during work operations are identified and reported to appropriate persons

2.3. Authorised changes in working procedures are followed

2.4. Routine lubrication and adjustments for the equipment are completed

2.5. Items which do not meet quality requirements are repaired or discarded

2.6. Finished work is inspected for compliance with work order, workplace requirements and finish

3. Complete work

3.1. Scraps and off-cuts are removed for disposal/recycling as required by workplace procedures

3.2. Work area is cleaned and rubbish disposed of as appropriate

3.3. Workplace documentation is completed as required

3.4. Tools, equipment and unused materials are cleaned and stored following workplace procedures

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 work supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

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

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

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

use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate cutting problems, avoid re-working and wastage

use the limited workplace technology related to the cutting of frame mouldings, including drawing aids, tools, equipment, calculators and measuring devices

Required knowledge

the type, characteristics, uses and limitations of moulding materials

the types, characteristics and applications of cutting machines and devices

the types, uses and operation of tools

techniques for cutting frame mouldings

workplace safety system requirements related to cutting frame mouldings

workflow in relation to cutting frame mouldings

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects of evidence

Identify and operate equipment, including the use of safety cut outs and guards

Identify materials, ensuring quality and aesthetics, to be used in the work process

Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information to set up, operate, adjust and monitor equipment used to cut picture frame mouldings

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

Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:

minimise the risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage to goods, equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

Cut mouldings for a picture frame (up to 100 mm wide) of each of the following materials:

timber (multi-angle and 45 degrees)

aluminium (45 degrees)

synthetic (45 degrees)

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Guillotines, static mounted circular saws, docking saws and mitre saws fitted with appropriate blades, standard operating procedures, unprocessed materials and work area.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency which form a part of the job role.

Context of assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant frame moulding cutting machines /devices, framing materials, work instructions and deadlines.

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.

Unit context

OHS requirements may include legislation, standards, material safety management systems and local safe operating procedures

Work is carried out in accordance with statutory requirements, environment legislation, manual handling procedures and relevant regulations and organisation insurance requirements

Work requires individuals to demonstrate discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the set up, operation, adjustment and monitoring of equipment used to cut picture frame mouldings

Work may be performed in workplaces which are involved in the framing of a wide range of items, including, but not limited to:

original artwork

reproductions

photographs

documents

three-dimensional items

Cut mouldings

Addresses the work involved in the set up, operation, adjustment and monitoring of equipment used to cut picture frame mouldings

Mouldings are to include but are not limited to: solid timber, composites, metal and alloy extrusion and synthetics

Machines may include, but are not limited to:

guillotines

static mounted circular saws

drop saws

docking saws and mitre saws

Personal protection equipment

Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices

Information and procedures

Workplace procedures relating to the use and operation of tools and equipment

Workplace instructions, including job sheets, plans, drawings and designs
