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!

Join or repair band saw blade

  1. Follow organisational safety procedures thoughout all maintenance and repair processes.
  2. Obtain saw blank and cut to length or cut existing blade at weld defect.
  3. Trim ends to obtain correct back alignment and pitch and/or shape to assist metal penetration.
  4. Set up ends to specified tolerances in welder.
  5. Apply weld to ensure metal penetrates through blade thickness and protect from accidental contact.
  6. Grind surplus weld material from blade without burning or annealing metal.
  7. Finish blade to eliminate bumps in blade surface.
  8. Identify damaged blades or those with or sub-standard joins and dispose of these in line with environmental protection practices.
  9. Package band saw for protection during return to service.
  10. Identify routine processing and equipment faults and resolve or report to appropriate personnel.
Follow organisational safety procedures thoughout all maintenance and repair processes.
