Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Prepare for profiling |
1.1. Applicable Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), environment , legislative and organisational requirements relevant to cutting panels to profile are identified and followed 1.2. Work order is reviewed and checked with appropriate personnel 1.3. Type and quantity of panels to be profiled is selected from the storage location 1.4. Equipment is selected appropriate to work requirements and checked for operational effectiveness in line with manufacturer's recommendations 1.5. Profile to be cut is identified and cutting blades selected 1.6. Communication with others is established and maintained in line with OHS requirements |
2. Set up profiling equipment |
2.1. Pre start -up checks are carried out on equipment in line with site requirements 2.2. Machine guides are selected and attached to the machinery 2.3. Cutting blades are installed in the selected machinery 2.4. Depth of cut/profile is set in line with the required profile and minimisation of waste 2.5. Panel stack is positioned in close proximity to maximise ease of machine feeding 2.6. Equipment set-up is checked and adjusted by running a panel through the machine to set depth and profile |
3. Cut material to profile |
3.1. Panels are fed into the machine at the feed rate prescribed by organisational requirements 3.2. Cutting sequence is followed, maintained and adjusted to produce the required quantity and maximise the feed rate 3.3. Profiling process is regularly checked and adjusted to maintain the desired depth and profile 3.4. Panels with defects are rejected and disposed of in line with site procedures and environmental requirements 3.5. Processing and equipment faults are reported to the appropriate personnel 3.6. Panels are safely stacked in a designated location in line with work order requirements 3.7. Records and reports are accurately completed, processed and maintained in line with workplace procedures |
4. Conduct operator maintenance |
4.1. Equipment lock-out procedures are followed in line with OHS legislation and site procedures 4.2. Cutting blades are checked for blunt or damaged condition in line with site procedures 4.3. Cutting blades are removed and replaced in line with manufacturer's recommendations 4.4. Machine area is kept clear of dust and debris in line with OHS requirements |
