Thoroughly hose the saw and its components following the equipment supplier's instructions. Be sure to get the hose stream into all corners. Stubborn soil may require a little brushing.

If using Sink Cleaning . . .

Use a cloth or brush on base unit. Thoroughly wash, sanitize, rinse, and dry.

Before reassembly, a light coating of tasteless mineral oil should be applied to all metal surfaces. Lubricate six ball bearings on the carriage with a small amount of mineral oil. Apply a few drops of mineral oil to the gauge plate slide rod and work the gauge plate assembly back and forth a few times.

Reassemble the saw components in reverse order of disassembly making sure all parts are properly assembled.
