Schedule

Cleaning the Model g1095/g1096 is relatively
easy. Frequently blow-off sawdust with com-
pressed air. this is especially important for the
internal working parts and motor. dust build-up
around the motor is a sure way to decrease its
lifespan. if the wheels become loaded up with
pitch, oil, or other residues, wipe them clean using
a clean rag and a mild solvent. Avoid touching
the plastic or paint with mineral spirits or you may
damage the surfaces.

Lubrication

• Every 40 hours of use, or once every two
weeks, wipe clean and lubricate the wheel
grease fittings (Figure 15) with one pump
from a grease gun filled with automotive
grade gl-2 grease.
