Cleaning

Cleaning the Model H8259 is relatively easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. 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 lathe by wiping them clean after every use—this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces.

Keep the bed rust-free with regular applications of products like G96® Gun Treatment, SLIPIT®, or Boeshield® T-9.

Lubrication

Lubricate the locations shown in Figure 35 with light machine oil or G96® Gun Treatment.
