Application
This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to overlap the end or edge of one piece of veneer over the end or edge of another (scarfing) to optimise its use in readiness for bonding to panel products.
The unit applies to production workers who scarf edges of veneer in a forest and wood products factory setting and includes operator maintenance.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Replaces equivalent unit FPIWPP2207B Scarf edges of veneer, 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:
- scarf veneer in line with individual work orders that prescribe different lengths, widths, thicknesses and quantities for each job.
- for each of the above jobs, visually inspect veneer to re-classify its quality and use after scarfing.
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 plant, tools and equipment
- disposing of, recycling and reusing veneer and other waste
- typical flow of material supply in and out of the veneer scarfing area
- typical work flow processes and veneer scarfing techniques for optimising sheet sizes
- appropriate range of feed rates to produce specified joins and quality finish
- methods used to visually assess condition of veneer for strength and typical production defects:
- overlaps
- gaps
- veneer faults
- joining spacing’s
- key features of industry standard grades for re-classifying quality of scarfed veneer and applicable terminology
- purpose, features and operation of equipment used to scarf edges of veneer:
- specialised scarfing machines
- lifting equipment
- methods for assessing cutter and blade condition and completing basic non-specialist repair and maintenance for scarfing machines
- organisational procedures specific to scarfing edges of veneer:
