Cleaning &
Protecting
Cleaning the Model G0820 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.
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
