Unit of Competency FWPCOT3265 - Cut timber or engineered wood product to profile
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to use profiling equipment for cutting timber or engineered wood products to a profile to produce moulded products in a manufacturing facility. The unit applies to individuals who work as benchman, machine operators, timber products technicians, production technicians and press operators. Operators generally work under broad or limited direction to complete routine activities related to their own work, and take responsibility for their work.All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, according to state/territory health and safety regulations, legislation and standards that apply to the workplace. No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Prepare for profiling timber or engineered wood products
  • Review work order, specifications and workplace health and safety requirements, environmental protection practices and emergency procedures for timber profiling operations and, where required, check with appropriate personnel
  • Identify and report hazards and use personal protective equipment according to workplace requirements and health and safety legislation to maintain safe work practices
  • Obtain the type and quantity of material for profiling from a storage location
  • Identify profile to be cut and select appropriate cutting blades according to specifications
       
Element: Set up profiling equipment
  • Use equipment according to workplace health and safety procedures, manufacturer instructions and environmental protection practices
  • Follow lock-out procedures, select and attach machine guides and install cutting blades
  • Set depth of cut or profile according to the required shape and to minimise waste
  • Stack material in close proximity to maximise ease of machine feeding
  • Test equipment set-up for correct profile alignment through a trial run and adjust as required
       
Element: Cut timber or engineered wood product to profile
  • Feed timber or engineered wood product into the machine at feed rate prescribed by organisational requirements
  • Follow, maintain and adjust cutting sequence to produce the required quantity and maximise feed rate
  • Check profiling process regularly and adjust to maintain desired depth and profile
  • Dispose of incorrect cuts, off-cuts and defective material according to environmental protection practices
  • Stack material safely in designated location according to work order
       
Element: Complete operator maintenance
  • Lock out equipment according to workplace health and safety procedures
  • Check cutting blades for bluntness or damage according to manufacturer specifications
  • Remove and replace cutting blades according to manufacturer recommendations
  • Keep machine area clear of dust and debris according to workplace health and safety procedures
  • Record and report production outcomes, equipment faults and maintenance requirements to appropriate personnel

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
