Elements and Performance Criteria
|
Elements describe the essential outcomes.
|
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions.
|
|
1. Prepare for cutting
|

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:
- cut veneer line with individual work orders that prescribe different lengths, width, tolerances and quantities for each job.
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
- typical flow of material supply in and out of the veneer cutting area
- typical work flow processes and veneer cutting techniques for optimising sheet sizes
- methods used to visually assess condition of veneer for strength, gaps and typical defects:
- incorrect moisture content
- warp
- wane
- shakes
- insect defects
- splits
- knots
- resin pockets
- purpose, features and operation of equipment used to cut veneer:
- electronic guillotines
- conveyor belt systems
- different types of lifting equipment:
