** If no one knows how to operate the tool safely, then training MUST be provided (scheduled in advance and announced in \#members)

** Maintain the equipment and keep in functional condition

** If the equipment becomes problematic (breaks, members complain) or is disused, the board will discuss possible resolutions and vote on how to proceed (be it repair the item, move elsewhere, or remove entirely).
