Cleaning &

Protecting

Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust from the outside of the machine, inside the cabinet, and off the motor. Protect the unpainted cast iron sur- faces on the table by wiping the table 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 (see Section 5: Accessories on Page 29 for more details).
