Carefully remove the protective coating from the table, table rollers, infeed roller, anti-kickback fingers, cutter- head and cutterhead knives. This protective coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene.
(DO NOT USE GASOLINE, ACETONE, OR LACQUER THINNER FOR THIS PURPOSE). CAUTION: Extreme care should be taken when cleaning the knives as the cutterhead knives are positioned in the cutter- head and are very sharp.
After cleaning, cover the table surface with a good qual- ity paste wax.
