Cleaning

Lathe Bed

Protect the unpainted cast iron lathe bed by wip- ing it clean after every use—this ensures mois- ture from wood dust does not remain on the bare metal surfaces.

Keep your lathe bed rust-free with regular appli- cations of products like G96® Gun Treatment, SLIPIT®, or Boeshield® T-9.

Lubrication

All bearings for the Model G0632 are lubricated and sealed at the factory, and do not need addi- tional lubrication.

Wipe a lightly oiled shop rag on the outside of the headstock spindle. DO NOT allow any oil to get on the inside mating surfaces of the spindle.

Use the tailstock handwheel to extend the quill out to the furthest position and apply a thin coat of white grease to the outside of the quill. DO NOT allow any oil or grease to get on the inside mating surfaces of the quill.

Cleaning the Model G0632 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.

Treat all unpainted cast iron and steel with a non- staining lubricant after cleaning.

Remove and debris or oily substances from the inside of the spindle and quill.
