The nonpainted surfaces on the Model G7209/10 should be protected against rust and pitting. Wiping the machine clean after every use ensures that wood dust isnÕt allowed to trap moisture against bare metal surfaces.
Some woodworkers recommend using automo- tive paste wax on exposed steel and cast iron sur- faces. The wax provides a layer of protection, as well as reducing friction between lumber and the table, making cuts faster and smoother. Avoid waxes that contain silicone or other synthetic ingredients. These materials can find their way into lumber thatÕs being worked, and can make staining and finishing difficult. If you use paste wax, make sure that itÕs 100% Carnauba wax.
