Cleaning

Cleaning the Model H7583 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.

Unpainted Cast Iron

Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the jig by wiping it clean after every use—this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces.

Keep unpainted cast iron rust-free with regular applications of products like G96® Gun Treatment, SLIPIT®, or Boeshield® T-9.

Lubrication

For setscrew and lock lever threads, an occa- sional application of light machine oil is all that is necessary. Before applying lubricant, clean off sawdust.

Your goal is to achieve adequate lubrication. Too much lubrication will attract dirt and sawdust. Various parts of your jig could lose their freedom of movement as a result.
