Apply the most optimal spraying techniques, such as a perpendicular spraying angle, maintenance at a consistent distance, trigger the spray gun gradually, overlap surface spots, and others.
Ensure that the necessary equipment is provided, ready and available for use before start of procedures.
Operate a semi-automatic or handheld spray gun designed to provide the surface of a workpiece with a hard, durable finishing coat, safely and according to regulations.
Evaluate which deficient processed workpieces do not meet the set-up standard and should be removed and sort the waste according to regulations.
Remove individual workpieces after processing, from the manufacturing machine or the machine tool. In case of a conveyor belt this involves quick, continuous movement.
Smoothen the surface of a workpiece by sanding it in between applying coats in order to obtain a clear, stronger coat.
Select the optimal spraying pressure taking into account the kind of paint or primer being sprayed, the sprayed material, the spraying environment and other factors.
Identify operating problems, decide what to do about it and report accordingly.
Wear relevant and necessary protective gear, such as protective goggles or other eye protection, hard hats, safety gloves.

Observe and listen to machinery operation to detect malfunction. Service, repair, adjust, and test machines, parts, and equipment that operate primarily on the basis of mechanical principles. Maintain and repair vehicles meant for cargo, passengers, farming and landscaping.
Comply with precision standards specific to an organisation or product in metalworking, involved in processes such as engraving, precise cutting, welding.
Apply preparatory treatment, through mechanical or chemical processes, to the workpiece preceding the main operation.
Carefully select a primer from the same range as the paint to ensure optimal coating and paint colour quality when applying one over the other.
Read and interpret technical resources such as digital or paper drawings and adjustment data in order to properly set up a machine or working tool, or to assemble mechanical equipment.
Dispose of dangerous materials such as chemical or radioactive substances according to environmental and to health and safety regulations.
Use various techniques to ensure the product quality is respecting the quality standards and specifications. Oversee defects, packaging and sendbacks of products to different production departments.
Maintain records of the progress of the work including time, defects, malfunctions, etc.
Operate equipment designed to buff and polish metal workpieces, such as diamond solutions, silicon-made polishing pads, or working wheels with a leather polishing strop, and others.
Perform tests putting a system, machine, tool or other equipment through a series of actions under actual operating conditions in order to assess its reliability and suitability to realise its tasks, and adjust settings accordingly.
Remove the thin layer made of paint, lacquer, metal or other elements covering an object through chemical, mechanical or other processes.
Observe and identify various kinds of imperfections in metal workpieces or finished products. Recognise the best fitted manner of fixing the problem, which could be caused by corrosion, rust, fractures, leaks, and other signs of wear.
