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:
- produce trimmed panels in line with individual work orders prescribing different lengths and tolerances and number of panels; types of panels includes:
- medium density fibreboard
- laminated veneer
- chipboard
- fibreboard
- plywood
- continuous ply
- across the above jobs, complete cutting patterns and sequences for single straight cuts and angles requiring one cutting pass set for multiple cuts of the same size
- for each of the above jobs, stack batches of cut panels in storage location according to common length
- after each of the above jobs, complete operator maintenance on the saw used.
Knowledge Evidence
A person competent in this unit must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
- environmental protection practices for forest products factory settings:
- reducing water and energy use
- cleaning of plant, tools and equipment
- disposing of, recycling and reusing timber and other waste
- typical timber panel defects and how they affect ability to produce quality trimmed panels:
- warp
- wane
- cupping
- shakes
- insect defects
- knots
- resin pockets
- cutting patterns and sequences for single straight cuts and angles requiring one cutting pass
- range of industry standard lengths, cross sections and tolerances and applicable terminology
- typical flow of material supply in and out of the trimming area
- storage layout and categories for stacking finished panels
- purpose, features and operation of equipment used to trim new panels to size:
- automated trimming saws
- conveyor belt systems
- methods for assessing saw blade condition and completing and basic non-specialist repair and maintenance for saws
- organisational procedures specific to trimming new panels to size:
- workplace health and safety with particular emphasis on equipment lock out and use of personal protective equipment
- communication reporting lines
- recording and reporting production outcomes, equipment faults and maintenance requirements.
Assessment Conditions
The following resources must be made available:
- automated trimming saws
- maintenance tools and equipment for saws
- consumable saw blades
