This unit identifies the training and development required in order that the learner can demonstrate that they are competent in being able to:
Prepare for the hand fitting activities by obtaining all the necessary information, documentation, tools and equipment required, and to plan how they intend to carry out the required fitting activities and the sequence of operations they intend to use. They will be required to select the appropriate equipment to use, based on the operations to be carried out and the accuracy required.
In producing the components, they will be expected to use appropriate tools and equipment to mark out the material for a range of features to be produced, and then to use hand tools, portable power tools, and shaping and fitting techniques appropriate to the type of material and operations being performed. These activities will include hand sawing, band sawing, filing, drilling, threading, and off- hand grinding. The components produced will have features that include flat, square, parallel and angular faces, radii and curved profiles, drilled holes, internal and external threads, and sliding or mating parts.
During, and on completion of, the fitting operations, they will be expected to check the quality of the workpiece, using measuring equipment appropriate to the aspects being checked and the tolerances to be achieved. They will need to be able to recognise fitting defects, to take appropriate action to remedy any faults that occur and to ensure that the finished workpiece is within the drawing requirements.
On completion of the fitting activities, they will be expected to return all tools and equipment to the correct locations, and to leave the work area in a safe and tidy condition.
Their responsibilities will require them to comply with health and safety requirements and organisational policy and procedures for the fitting activities undertaken. They will need to take account of any potential difficulties or problems that may arise with the fitting activities, and to seek appropriate help and advice in determining and implementing a suitable solution. They will work under a high level of supervision, whilst taking responsibility for their own actions and for the quality and accuracy of the work that they carry out.
Their underpinning knowledge will provide an understanding of their work, and will enable them to apply appropriate hand fitting techniques safely. They will understand the hand fitting process, and its application, and will know about the equipment, materials and consumables, to the required depth to provide a sound basis for carrying out the activities to the required specification.
They will understand the safety precautions required when using hand fitting techniques, and when using hand and power tools. They will be required to demonstrate safe working practices throughout, and will understand the responsibility they owe to themselves and others in the workplace.
