Cleaning

Use a brush and a shop vacuum to remove chips and other debris from the machine. Keep the table rust-free with regular applications of products like G96® Gun Treatment, SLIPIT®, or Boeshield® T-9 (see Section 5: Accessories on Page 31).

Once a month, remove the blade and thoroughly clean all metal chips and built-up oil or sludge from the wheel surfaces. Redress the rubber tires if necessary (Page 33).
