The Basics of Power Tool Maintenance

Power tool repair service is often necessary because power tool maintenance has been neglected. The proper cleaning of machine tools and power tools can help to keep the power tool repair service down to a minimum. Learning the basics of power tool maintenance can help to keep your tools functioning at an optimum. Protecting your investment starts with basic maintenance.

Cool Down Time

One of the many issues that a power tool repair service comes across is overheated motors and burnt-out parts. Motors often overheat because they are overworked. When a power tool or machining tool starts throwing off heat, it is best to shut things down for a little while.

Regular Cleaning

At the end of every workday, power tools should be cleaned. The same is true at home. When the tool is done doing its job, clean it thoroughly. Debris and buildup will wear down the tool.

Pressurized air is the best way to clean power tools. A stiff brush or other cleaning tools can cause damage. Blowing away debris is safer for the tool.

Address Problems Early On

A good rule of thumb is to seek a power tool repair service when parts become worn but before they cause problems. In other words, early intervention is the best way to manage your tools. When you notice that parts are worn, that is the time to seek repair services. It will save time, money, and reduce the risk of further damage.

Choose Quality Lubricants

Lubricating power tools is a must to ensure smooth operation. You want to use a high-quality lubricant to ensure all working parts are kept in top condition. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for lubricants to best protect your tools and to ensure you do not void warranties.

Keep Up With the Calibration Schedule

Power tools are fine-tuned and can lose calibration. Periodically, power tools need to be recalibrated to ensure optimum function. Follow the manufacturer’s recommended schedule to keep your tools calibrated to perfection.

Partner with a Professional

Proper care and service will extend the life of your power tools. Maintaining your tools correctly, and partnering with a trusted repair service will ensure your tools are reliable and highly functioning.
