Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to correctly set up profile cutting equipment.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Set up profile cutting
  • 1.1. All details required for the job are checked and confirmed against job specifications
  • 1.2. The correct materials are checked and available for the job
  • 1.3. Adhesives are appropriate for the substrate, the application process and the machine
  • 1.4. Work area is made safe and ready for production according to safety requirements
  • 1.5. Profile cutting unit including profile knives, and where appropriate, fly knives, is set up according to job specifications
  • 1.6. Blades are checked for sharpness and fitted as necessary, with units calibrated according to job specifications
  • 1.7. Settings are checked against job specifications before production is commenced
  • 1.8. Machine is stepped to ensure the profile is in the correct position and paper tension is accurate
  • 1.9. The envelope shape and size conforms to job specifications and cuts are clean and meet quality requirements
2. Confirm the quality
  • 2.1. A sample from the machine is selected and checked to ensure it conforms to quality standards
  • 2.2. Adjustments are made when the standards are not met
  • 2.3. Samples are continuously monitored for defects and defects are removed
  • 2.4. The efficiency, quality and output rate of the production run are monitored for problems and any deficiencies resolved
  • 2.5. Wastage is monitored, kept to a minimum and correctly disposed of according to enterprise quality standards
  • 2.6. The locations of all emergency shutdown buttons and triggers are known
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.
Job specifications may include:
job sheets, batch processing orders, job specs.
Stepped may include:
inched, jogged, moved slowly through the process.
EVIDENCE GUIDE
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

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the following is essential:
set up profile cutting units for manufacturing the following types of envelope: banker, open-sided wallet, open-ended pocket and automatic filling, according to job specifications and within the production timeframe
evidence should be gathered over a period of time through a range of methods for assessment to indicate consistent performance in setting cutting profiles
evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity.

Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of both of theses. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment
access to profile cutting machinery used for cutting envelope profiles.

Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.

Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.
