# Duty 4: Changing Cutter Bits

Learner will demonstrate how to safely and efficiently perform the
changing of cutter bits. The learner will also explain the job duties,
why they are conducted, any associated risk, and how to implement
appropriate controls. Safe and efficient performance of the changing
cutter bits includes the following steps:

**Duty 7: Mining cycle Preparation**

Learner will demonstrate how to safely and efficiently perform mining
cycle preparation. The learner will also explain the job steps, why they
are conducted, any associated risk, and how to implement appropriate
controls. Safe and efficient procedures for mining cycle preparation
include the following job steps:
