To the Instructor

– Before a student begins a job sheet, ensure that the equipment is in good condition and does
not represent any risk when used.

– When a student has to complete a setup that is already partially mounted, ensure that the setup
corresponds to the job description.

– This guide provides you with the answers to calculations, measurements, and review questions.
Your evaluation, however, must relate to the quality of the accomplished work. Make sure that
the objectives listed in the Work Assessment Table are met.

– When the jobs are performed in teams, ensure that each student has and installs a padlock
when performing the lockout/tagout procedure.

– Make sure that the students understand the objectives of the job to do. They should have read
the appropriate pages in their textbook.
