Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to service small electrical appliances and hand power tools.It includes working safely, servicing small appliances and power tools, testing appliance functions, locating and rectifying faults and defective components, and completing required service documentation.Individuals will typically work under supervision as part of a specialist workshop and repair team.The skills and knowledge described in this unit require a licence or permit to practice in the workplace where work is carried out on electrical installations which are designed to operate at voltages greater than 50 volt (V) alternating current (a.c.) or 120 V direct current (d.c.). Competency development activities in this unit are subject to regulations directly related to licensing. Where a licence or permit to practice is not held, a relevant contract of training, such as an Australian Apprenticeship, is required. Additional and/or other conditions may apply in some jurisdictions subject to regulations related to electrical work.
