Grizzly G0451 instruction manual Maintenance, Schedule, Cleaning, Unpainted Cast Iron

SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious person- al injury.

Schedule

For optimum performance from your machine, follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any specific instructions given in this section.

Daily Check:

•Loose mounting bolts.

•Worn or damaged saw blade.

•Worn or damaged switches or wires.

•Any other unsafe condition.

Weekly Maintenance:

•Clean sliding table surface and grooves.

•Clean the cast iron saw table.

•Clean the sliding table roller guideways.

•Clean the rip fence and sliding grooves.

•Clean the rip fence bracket.

Monthly Check:

•Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside cabi- net and off motor.

•V-belt tension, damage, or wear.

Note—To ensure optimum power transmission from the motor to the blades, the V-belts must be in good condition (free from cracks, fraying and wear) and operate under proper tension.

Cleaning

Cleaning the Model G0451 is relatively easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. Use compressed air to blow dust from between the two sections of the sliding table. If any resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove it. Treat all unpainted cast iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning.

Unpainted Cast Iron

Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the table by wiping the table clean after every use— this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces.

Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of products like G96® Gun Treatment, SLIPIT®, or Boeshield® T-9 (see Section 5: Accessories on Page 43 for more details).
