  2. 2

    Position, adjust, and secure stock material or workpieces against stops, on arbors, or in chucks, fixtures, or automatic feeding mechanisms, manually or using hoists.

  3. 3

    Read blueprints or job orders to determine product specifications and tooling instructions and to plan operational sequences.
