1.Loose mounting bolts.

2.Worn switch.

3.Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

4.Damaged belt.

5.Inspect air fittings and hoses.

6.Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.

7.Bleed the water out of the condenser bottle below the air regulator—everyday.

Table

The table and other non-painted surfaces on the Model G8030 should be protected against rust and pitting. Wiping the table clean after every use ensures that wood dust isn’t allowed to trap mois- ture 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’s being worked, and can make staining and finishing difficult. If you use paste wax, make sure that it’s 100% Carnauba wax.
