Task 4
Work task: Plant and equipment
In this task, you will need to decide the power output needed from a portable generator as
there is no power on site. You will need a calculator to complete this task.
The tools and their power outage for 2 different jobs are listed below.
Fill in all the blank spaces to find out what size generator you will need in each instance.
Job 1
Power Tool Amps Watts
Router 8.1 Amps 1650 Watts
Mitre Saw 4.2 Amps 950 Watts
Drill 2.5 Amps 560 Watts
Planer 2.6 Amps 580 Watts
TOTAL: Amps Watts
Required output = Total amps x 240 volts = . Divided by 1000 = .
To use these tools at the same time you will need to use a kVa, Watts generator.
Job 2
Power Tool Amps Watts
Router 3.9 Amps 900 Watts
Mitre Saw 4.4 Amps 1030 Watts
Drill 2.5 Amps 560 Watts
Planer 8.6 Amps 1980 Watts
TOTAL: Amps Watts
Required output = Total amps x 240 volts = . Divided by 1000 = kVa.
To use these tools at the same time you will need to use a kVa, Watts generator.
Task 5
Work task: Clean up
In this task, demonstrate the steps you would take to clean up a work area that another team
has left in a mess. This mess is dangerous and preventing you from starting your work.
13
Below, you will need to explain the clean up steps that you would take, to tackle each of the
issues listed in the left hand column. You will need to identify the hazard, decide what
materials you will need, and the steps involved in each clean up task. Ensure that all waste is
removed, hazards are contained, and tools, equipment and materials are returned to their
appropriate area. Choose the most environmentally friendly cleaning methods you can think
of.
