Cleaning &
Protecting
Cleaning the Model G0958/G0959 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.
Lubrication
Since all bearings are sealed and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.
It is essential to clean components before lubri-
cating them because dust and chips build up on
lubricated components and make them hard to
move. Simply adding more grease to them will not
yield smooth moving components.
Clean the components below with mineral spirits
or other oil/grease solvent cleaner and shop rags.
