End of day maintenance

Maintenance is part of the job. That is included in the price you give for a job. The last business I worked for before setting up my own, they were jokers with maintenance. Did nothing and looked like a bunch a cowboys. Pretty much every job we went to there were issues with the equipment, slowing the job down and frustrating the team. Why the fuck would you go to a job without razor sharp chains and saws that run efficiently. Even turning up to the first job in the morning and sharpening your chains just looks bad from a customers point of view. Thing is most outfits run like this and I think its a joke. I'm happy to take less money and put time aside to keep my equipment well looked after so it lasts.

Got to say Really don't think this is the case.

The only time I a sharpen a saw in the yard, is if I'm cutting in the yard.

If a saw does need sharpening before we start, I find customers are generally fascinated by the process and IMO they see us as skilled when we can quickly sharpen a saw when needed.

 

As for changing chains, rather than sharpening, oh dear 9_9. When I take a chain off its done!
