position and fasten cutting tools and adjust machine trowels
using basic hand tools such as spanners, allen keys and
screwdrivers
- adjust the guides, stops and other controls of machines
to make sure that stock is machined to the sizes required
- test run machines, make adjustments as required, advise
or instruct operators and watch the first operations
- periodically check product sizes and report any problems
