Application
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to use specialised machinery to assist in assembly production and completion of garments textiles and other textile products.
The unit of competency applies to the skills needed to operate production machinery which is not covered by other textile, clothing or footwear (TCF) production units, such as cutting, button holing, stud, fusing or gluing or backing machines, and others.
It does not include:
- materials handling equipment, such as forklifts
- machines for weaving, spinning, knitting, tufting, creeling, dyeing, packing, folding and finishing operations
- the set-up or maintenance of machinery where such tasks are normally performed by textile mechanics, fitters or electricians.
The unit of competency applies to work that may be repetitive and require a limited range of operations. Tasks may be pre-set and the operator must be able to work accurately to achieve required specifications.
Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
