Resource Manager

A Resource Manager is a role in our Volunteer Program

Resource Managers are responsible for a specific tool or resource in the shop. They check up on it at least a few times a month, are available to do Safety Checkouts, maintain or facilitate maintenance on it depending on a schedule provided, and post information up regarding new or important things about the tool.

Duties

Tool Manual: RTFM! Read the manual on your tool. To find your tool manual, look here on the wiki or on the PCMS Members google drive folder under Tool Manuals.

If it doesn't exist yet, please find one and upload it!

Regular check-in: You should plan a regular time each month to inspect and clean your tool.​ If you need to keep things flexible that is fine, but it should be done regularly.

Maintenance Log: When you check in on your tool, be sure to log it each time on our Volunteer Log.

Learn your tool: If you need to learn more about the tool outside what the manual can offer, we can set you up on one of our classes that covers that tool. You can also try looking for videos demonstrating proper usage. WoodWorkWeb has a lot of good video tutorials on how to use wood shop equipment.
