Cleaning &
Protecting
Cleaning the Model G0490W/G0490XW is rela-
tively easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and saw-
dust, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry
cloth. If any resin has built up, use a resin dissolv-
ing cleaner to remove it.
Protect the unpainted cast iron table by wiping
it clean after every use—this ensures moisture
from wood dust does not remain on bare metal
surfaces. Keep the table rust-free with regular
applications of products like G96
