Hi Hive Lovers
This is the rainy season with strong winds. For tropical areas, this is the time to be prepared because many disasters can occur, especially floods and fallen trees.
My small team and I have made a plan to clear some large trees that are in the office environment. Technically, this plan is very mature and just waiting for work time. Tomorrow we plan to cut some big old trees that have the possibility of falling or breaking branches, and that will hit some parts of the building and will damage it. The risk is very big.
What happened today is truly a waste of time and full of challenges.
We have to race against time. We have to do it as fast as we can. The cloudy weather and the cold wind that is starting to blow will really start to interfere with this work. But what can we do?
Oh my God, it's only been 10 minutes since we started this work and this machine suddenly died!
Unfortunately, this little mower turned out to be problematic. whereas one of the personnel in the field of equipment two days ago reported that this machine was in good condition. I've also tried turning it on and sharpening the cutting chain's serrations.
This chainsaw must remain motionless and not make a loud roar for about 3 hours and 40 minutes. Really, that's a long time and has been wasted. This small team could do nothing for almost 4 hours. That means we have to add another 4 hours to the next day. We should be able to finish this job today as well.
While trying to check for damaged parts, I tried to ask the operator for the maintenance history of this chainsaw. Crazy..!
Since its last use around December last year, this machine has never been used again, including some other equipment, of course. That's really crazy. What have they done to those machines?
I don't really understand how machines work, but as someone who's read and heard the stories of operators out there, I think machines should receive regular treatment, even if they're in storage because they haven't been used for a long time.
All machine tools must get regular maintenance. That is their standard operating procedure. Regular maintenance will keep the machines in prime condition and ready to use at any time without problems like today.
The next challenge is how to make a periodic maintenance system for all machine tools that actually runs according to procedures. If not, then this kind of incident will happen again, and time will be wasted in vain and the potential for other greater risks will occur. We hope the strong winds don't happen, at least until the machine is working properly again for tomorrow.
Please share your experience in the comments when you worked with a problematic machine and how the maintenance system worked. This will be of great help to everyone here.
