Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Prepare for installation
- 1.1. Patterns, work instructions and/or plans are read and interpreted to identify:
- 1.1.1. type of moulding to be cut
- 1.1.2. pattern or plan to be followed
- 1.1.3. process required to complete work tasks
- 1.1.4. number of items to be cut and holding area for completed items
- 1.1.5. equipment settings for the materials that are being cut
- 1.1.6. required cutting fluids
- 1.2. Workplace health and safety requirements, including personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work
- 1.3. The process for obtaining materials/components and moving completed work to the next process is identified
- 1.4. Tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked prior to use to ensure that they are appropriate for the work in terms of quality, serviceability and safety
- 1.5. Cutting equipment components and controls, including emergency stops and guards, are identified
- 1.6. Work sequence is planned to suit the job
2. Conduct cutting operation
- 2.1. Equipment is operated and monitored to ensure correct cut quality, output and that wastage is within allowable limits
- 2.2. Problems occurring during work operations are identified and reported to appropriate persons
- 2.3. Authorised changes in working procedures are followed
- 2.4. Routine lubrication and adjustments for the equipment are completed
- 2.5. Items which do not meet quality requirements are repaired or discarded
- 2.6. Finished work is inspected for compliance with work order, workplace requirements and finish
3. Complete work
- 3.1. Scraps and off-cuts are removed for disposal/recycling as required by workplace procedures
- 3.2. Work area is cleaned and rubbish disposed of as appropriate
- 3.3. Workplace documentation is completed as required
- 3.4. Tools, equipment and unused materials are cleaned and stored following workplace procedures
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.
Unit context
OHS requirements may include legislation, standards, material safety management systems and local safe operating procedures
Work is carried out in accordance with statutory requirements, environment legislation, manual handling procedures and relevant regulations and organisation insurance requirements

Work may be performed in workplaces which are involved in the framing of a wide range of items, including, but not limited to:
original artwork
reproductions
photographs
documents
three-dimensional items

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.
Critical aspects of evidence
Identify and operate equipment, including the use of safety cut outs and guards
Identify materials, ensuring quality and aesthetics, to be used in the work process
Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information to set up, operate, adjust and monitor equipment used to cut picture frame mouldings
Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment, safety and environmental protection equipment
Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:
minimise the risk of injury to self and others
prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
Cut mouldings for a picture frame (up to 100 mm wide) of each of the following materials:
timber (multi-angle and 45 degrees)
aluminium (45 degrees)
synthetic (45 degrees)
Work effectively with others
Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment
Resource implications
Guillotines, static mounted circular saws, docking saws and mitre saws fitted with appropriate blades, standard operating procedures, unprocessed materials and work area.
Method of assessment
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.
Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency which form a part of the job role.
Context of assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant frame moulding cutting machines /devices, framing materials, work instructions and deadlines.
