 Identify all blanks and remnants; put the blanks in appropriate bags without losing ID. Box
the remnants with proper ID
 Complete the necessary paperwork and computer entries
 Effectively prioritize work load and use of available resources within time constraints
 Observe proper safety procedures in a machine shop environment
 Clean up the machine and working area at the end of the shift
 Inspect your machine for cleanliness, worn / broken parts
 Review Tie-in before proceeding
 Review work order, verify everything is filled out correctly before proceeding
 Arrange the machine & Inspect the following: nozzle size, nozzle perpendicularity, table set-
up, abrasive hopper and metering disk flow rate, mtl levelness
 Sets-up adjusting nozzle and abrasive metering disk, space heads equally per program
instructions, enter correct cutter offsets
 Programs controller by entering instructions, including zero and reference points; setting tool
registers, offsets, compensation, calculating requirements, including basic math, geometry,
proving part programs
 Pull material per work instructions, verify quantity, material type, record lot/batch numbers
and THICKNESS
 Square material to machines axis, create part program zero
 Look for improvements for cutting faster, material yields, and or foreseen concerns
 Ensure timely preparation and availability of all production materials to avoid shortage during
production
 Maintains specifications by inspecting parts, adjusting feeds and speeds, cutter
compensation, maintaining Z-height throughout the entire process, adhering to quality
assurance procedures and processes
 Documents actual parts cut, rejects, segregates questionable parts, fills out work order
complete before moving to next operation
 Visually inspects the pump and machine for signs of leaks, tares, broken parts, etc. before
operating and cutting first part
 Strictly adhere to bid speed and work order specifications and ensure good quality work
 Inspect first part for accuracy i.e. edge quality, dimensions, etc. before taking part to QA,
lead / supervisor
 Adhere to sampling plans, perform random part sampling on your own accord
 Troubleshoot machine problems to determine actual faults before calling maintenance or
lead / supervisor
 Report to supervisor(s) regularly, keeping them updated on production activities and
progress e.g. shortage of material, better nesting opportunities, RISKS, etc.
 Maintains safe operations by adhering to safety procedures and regulations
