Cleaning &
Protecting
Cleaning the Model G0900 is relatively easy.
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and
wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. Blow
out any hard-to-reach areas with compressed
air, and keep the spindle clear of wood dust and
chips. 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 sur-
faces. Keep the table rust-free with regular appli-
cations of products like SLIPIT
