General
Tables
The nonpainted surfaces on the Model G7945/46 should be protected against rust and pitting. Wiping the machine clean after every use ensures that wood dust will not 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 that is being worked, and can make staining and finishing difficult. If you use paste wax, make sure that it is 100% Carnauba wax.
Lubrication
Regular periodic maintenance on your Model G7945/46 will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your machine each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary:
1.Loose mounting bolts.
2.Worn switch.
3.Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
4.Damaged
5.Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.
V-Belt
Inspect regularly for tension and wear. Check pul- leys to ensure that they are properly aligned. See
