Elements and Performance Criteria Pre-Content

Elements describe the essential outcomes of a unit of competency.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the required skills and knowledge section and the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide.

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

Evidence Guide

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment	A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence that they can safely and efficiently cut panels to profile within organisational requirements
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements of this unit and include demonstration of: following applicable Commonwealth, State or Territory legislative and regulatory requirements and codes of practice relevant to cutting panels to profile following organisational policies and procedures relevant cutting panels to profile cutting panels to profile in line with the work order and within prescribed organisational specifications conducting operator maintenance on a multi-head planing machine stacking batches of cut panels in line with organisational requirements and OHS regulations
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints Assessment of required knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context Assessment is to follow relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements The following resources should be made available: workplace location or simulated workplace materials and equipment relevant to undertaking work applicable to this unit specifications and work instructions
Method of assessment	Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the FPI11 Training Package Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of required knowledge Assessment must be by direct observation of tasks, with questioning on required knowledge and it must also reinforce the integration of employability skills Assessment methods must confirm the ability to access and correctly interpret and apply the required knowledge Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate Assessment practices should take into account any relevant language or cultural issues related to Aboriginality, gender or language backgrounds other than English Where the participant has a disability, reasonable adjustment may be applied during assessment Language and literacy demands of the assessment task should not be higher than those of the work role
