Cleaning

Cleaning the Model G0724 is easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust from motor fan area, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a resin dissolv- ing cleaner to remove it. Treat all unpainted cast iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning.

Lubrication

This machine uses permanently lubricated ball bearings. No bearing maintenance is required.

Unpainted Cast Iron

Protect the cast iron table from rust by wiping it 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 (Figure 25).
