Community Announcement (Tool Maintenance)

[Dean]

Don't forget everyone... Most of your tools require the occassional maintenance check now and then to keep them running in top condition. I'm going to be checking all mine over next weekend. Find those tool manuals, check out the maintenance section and keep your tools running at peak performance! Alignment, belt wear, brush changes, rust checks, cleaning etc.

If you have lost the manual for your tool/machine look up other manufacturers that sell clones and grab their manuals as discussed recently on the forums.

Just a freindly reminder
I am sure some of my gear will benefit from the 6-monthly medical

It's funny you should bring this up Dean. I work in maintenance management in the Defence Department which includes scheduling maintenance of power tools and other workshop equipment, yet I have no procedure for my own tools at home.

I guess its the old story of mechanics having the worst cars.
