• Position, align, and adjust parts for proper fit and assembly.
• Connect cables, tubes, and wiring, according to specifications.
• Attach name plates and mark identifying information on parts.
• Read blueprints and specifications to determine component parts and assembly sequences of electromechanical units.
• Disassemble units to replace parts or to crate them for shipping.
• Measure parts to determine tolerances, using precision measuring instruments such as micrometers, calipers, and verniers.

Supplemental Tasks Include:

• Clean and lubricate parts and subassemblies, using grease paddles or oilcans.
• Drill, tap, ream, countersink, and spot-face bolt holes in parts, using drill presses and portable power drills.
