Cleaning &

Protecting Machine

Cleaning the Model G1183/G1276 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.

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. Then apply a non- staining rust preventative that does not contain silicone or oil.

Cleaning Sandpaper

When the sandpaper surface becomes clogged with resin or gummy sawdust, the efficiency of the sanding operation is significantly reduced and can leave glazed or gouge marks in the workpiece.

Regularly clean the belt and disc sandpaper by using crepe-rubber cleaners (see Accessories on Page 31 for options from Grizzly).
