|
|
2. Set up and monitor jointing operation
|
2.1 Check equipment for operational effectiveness and adjust set up to meet production requirements.
2.2 Select, check and prepare cutters to suit finger profile and timber cross sections.
2.3 Cut trial joints and check finger profiles against specifications.
2.4 Set feed rates, guides, conveyors, glue spreader and curing controls to suit finger profile, timber cross section characteristics and glue requirements.
2.5 Machine trial cleats, join, and test for strength and appearance.
2.6 Accept or reject trialled material and dispose of in line with environmental protection practices.
2.7 Resolve any machining problems, make final adjustments and start the jointing process.
2.8 Monitor finger jointing processes; identify and resolve processing and equipment faults.
2.9 Record and report production outcomes to appropriate personnel.
|
|
3. Coordinate shut-down and maintenance
|
3.1 Coordinate equipment shutdown with operators in line with organisational safety procedures.
3.2 Assist maintenance personnel to identify and resolve equipment faults.
3.3 Plan and coordinate routine maintenance of finger jointing equipment in line with organisational procedures and maintenance schedules.

Replaces equivalent unit FPICOT3207B Set up, operate and maintain finger jointing operations, which was first released with FPI11 Forest and Forest Products Training Package Version 2.2. This is the first release of this unit in the new standards format.
Assessment requirements now specify the performance and knowledge evidence, as well as assessment conditions for this unit of competency. These sections simplify and replace components used in the previous unit format, including Required Skills and Knowledge, Evidence Guide and Range Statement
|
Performance Evidence
- A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy all of the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit. If a specific volume or frequency is not stated below, then evidence must be provided that the following requirements have been performed on at least one occasion:
- plan and monitor finger jointing operations
- determine, document and communicate finger jointing schedules providing details of:
- timber cross sections to be finger jointed
- finger joint profiles
- required and acceptable cleat lengths
- finished product grades
- quantities to be produced
- changeover times
- complete production records.
Knowledge Evidence
A person competent in this unit must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
