1. LET US STUDY!

TOOL AND EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE

Preventive maintenance is the systematic care and protection of tools,

equipment and machines in order to keep them in a safe, usable condition,
limit downtime and extend productivity. We must always be aware that
maintenance tasks themselves are potentially hazardous and can result in
injury. The successful maintenance program is:

well organized and scheduled,

controls hazards,
defines operational procedures, and
trains key personnel.

The degree of detail to

include regarding tools and
equipment maintenance will
depend on the kinds of
tools/equipment used. Hand tools
may require only basic
maintenance. Power tools should
be maintained in good working
order. Damaged or defective
equipment/tools should be tagged
and removed from service.

 General requirements for
tools and equipment
maintenance include:

Obtaining a copy of the maintenance schedule

recommended by the manufacturer
Ensuring that maintenance is performed as required
Ensuring that the person(s) performing the
maintenance are competent (e.g. licensed mechanic)
Retaining records of maintenance/service conducted
Specifying who is responsible for overseeing equipment
maintenance and where the records are kept
Set up a system for removal and tagging of damaged or
defective tools and equipment

PROPER STORAGE OF TOOLS, PARTS, AND EQUIPMENT

To ensure that tools and equipment remain in good condition and last
for a long time, store them properly. Properly stored tools and equipment will
be easy to find when needed and are less likely to be lost.

1. Parts should be properly stored and labelled.

2. Tools should be properly placed on the board, and labeled.
Consider drawing the shapes of the tools on the board so
that they always get put back in the same position.
3. Use bins for storing small parts.
4. Consider making an individual (or individuals) responsible
for the good maintenance of tools and parts.

3. GENERALIZATION

Useful quality tools can be a significant investment, but they will last
longer and return the favor if you take good care of them. Making sure your
devices are properly stored, cleaned, and well maintained will save you time
and money, as well as making your projects and jobs much more comfortable.
When it comes to storing your tools, you have to work with the space that you
have. It is always important to be aware of the environment that you are
storing your tools as well. Rust is public enemy number one when it comes to
tools.

Cleaning your tools is probably the last thing you want to do after a hard
day’s work, but it is essential for keeping your devices in good shape. It is a
process that only takes a few seconds and is time well spent that will prevent
you from having to repair or replace tools.
