Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

FWPCOT3215 - Swage and shape saw blades

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Set up equipment

  1. Review work order and where required check with appropriate personnel.
  2. Identify required swage shape and thickness from existing saws and relevant records.
  3. Select appropriate personal protective and other equipment and check for operational effectiveness.
  4. Set up saw, swage and shaping equipment to meet production requirements.
  5. Check die or swage clamp or vice shape against required shape, clearances and kerf, and change as required.
  6. Secure saw in a swage clamp or vice or swager with teeth aligned to swager or vice shape.
  7. Apply anti-scuffing paste to areas of saw for swaging.
Review work order and where required check with appropriate personnel.
