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).
