Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Determine job requirements
   • Job sheets or equivalent instructions are interpreted correctly and understood.
2. Set machine
   • Safe working practices are understood and implemented.
   • Sequence of operations is determined and machine is set accordingly.
   • Machine is adjusted to meet specifications and operational requirements.
   • First-off samples are measured and inspected for compliance with specifications.
3. Instruct machine operator
   • Machine operator is instructed, if necessary, on sequencing settings and any required safety procedures.
4. Replace worn/damaged tooling
   • Tools are changed and settings are adjusted to specification as required.
6. Job sheets or equivalent instructions are interpreted correctly and understood

Required Skills

Required skills

Look for evidence that confirms skills in interpreting information on written job sheets instructions standard operating procedures safe working procedures and other applicable reference documents determining machineprocess sequences verbally conveying routine and familiar instructions checking and adjusting machine and replacing worn or damaged tooling checking and clarifying taskrelated information measuring to specified tolerances

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of characteristics and hazards of machineprocess tooling equipment and timing requirements of the machines operations common product faults or defects and adjustments consequences of not instructing the machine operator use and application of personal protective equipment safe work practices and procedures strategies for conveying routine instructions

Evidence Required

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 determine job requirements set the machine instruct the operator and replace worn or damaged tooling Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria including required knowledge and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts
Context of and specific resources for assessment	This unit may be assessed on the job off the job or a combination of both on and off the job Where assessment occurs off the job that is the candidate is not in productive work then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety quality communication materials handling recording and reporting associated with performing complex machine setting or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit
Method of assessment	Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid sufficient current and authentic Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation supervisors reports project work samples and questioning Questioning techniques should not require language literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency The candidate must have access to all tools equipment materials and documentation required The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures product and manufacturing specifications codes standards manuals and reference materials

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Equivalent instructions	Standard operating procedures, safe working procedures, operation sheets
Set	The selection of gears, cams, trip dogs, pin boards or other timing mechanisms
