Work order is to include: | instructions for planing or sanding boards or veneer panels and may include: species colour type width length thickness quantity instructions for the environmental monitoring of work and procedures environmental care requirements relevant to the work |
Appropriate personnel may include: | supervisors suppliers clients colleagues managers |
Panel is to include: | any manufactured panel product with a timber veneer any solid timber panels (single board or glue joined boards) |
Planing | is the process of dressing solid timber panels to a specified thickness, removing the rough surfaces and any imperfections |
Sanding | is the process of finishing a panel and removing any machine marks or imperfections to an acceptable standard of smoothness or surface texture, which will allow coating |
Equipment is to include: | procedures for equipment lock-out, such as protecting operators and co-workers from accidental injury by isolating the machine from the power source and may include: panel planers or thicknessers surface planers or buzzers drum sanders panel sanders veneer sanders stroke sanders |
Communication may include: | verbal and non-verbal language constructive feedback active listening questioning to clarify and confirm understanding use of positive, confident and cooperative language use of language and concepts appropriate to individual social and cultural differences control of tone of voice |
Pre-startup checks | are conducted to ensure: machine has been set up correctly systems are performing accurately machine is operating to optimum performance |
Feed rate is to include: | rate of speed the board or veneered panel is passed through the planing/sanding machine impact on equipment finish and production output |
Board refers to: | solid timber panels |
Veneer | is the thin sheet of timber (approximately 0.5mm thick or to organisational requirement for sliced veneer and varying thickness for rotary) used to cover medium density fibreboard, chipboard, fibreboard, plywood and other manufactured board products with a natural timber coating types are usually referred to as quarter sawn, back sawn and radial (or rotary) sawn |
Dust extraction may include: | machine specific dust extraction systems with collection bags hopper-based extraction systems that link all machines to the one extractor source through a series of connected pipes |
Visually assessed is to include: | assessment of boards or veneer boards to determine: thickness finish quality veneer faults |
Outfeed | is the process of producing panels from the machining operation and handling them in such a way that prevents damage to the planed or sanded surfaces |
Recovery | is the volume of timber planed or sanded from a resource compared to the volume of that resource is expressed as a percentage - planed/sanded timber volume/initial timber volume x 100 maximises the value of the resource |
Records and reports may include: | planing or sanding requirements product type size inspection information grading and labelling outcomes storage locations quality outcomes hazards incidents equipment malfunctions and may be: manual a computer-based system other appropriate organisational communication system |
Regrading | is the process of visually inspecting panels to re-classify quality and use after planing/sanding has taken effect |
