Cleaning.&.Protecting
Cleaning the Model W1888 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 your table rust-
free with regular applications of quality lubricants.
