Cleaning &

Protecting

Use a brush and shop vacuum to remove chips and debris from the jointer. Wipe the tables clean after every use—this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces.

Remove any rust from the unpainted cast iron surfaces of your jointer, then treat them with regular applications of products such as G96® Gun Treatment, SLIPIT®, or Boeshield® T-9 (see Section 5: Accessories on Page 32 for more details).
