This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to prepare for work and edge sand existing floors using a disc, orbital or belt sander to grade the surface and remove cupping, ridges, high points or deep scratches along the edges of the room, in corners or areas of reduced access, such as wardrobes. The pattern of sanding is to overlap and blend the floor boards into the body of the sanded floor.

This unit applies to flooring technicians working in accordance with pre-determined work orders.

Licensing, legislative or certification requirements may apply to this unit and relevant state/territory and local government agencies should be consulted to determine any necessary certification or licensing for undertaking flooring work. Access to construction sites requires certification of general induction training specified by the National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work (ASCC 2007).
