Lubrication
The only parts on this machine that require peri-
odic lubrication is where the spindle cartridge
rides on the elevation housing. Use a light grease
or anti-seizing compound on the ways. The fre-
quency of lubrication depends on the amount you
use the shaper. As a habit, inspect this area at
least once a month.

Cleaning the Model
G0510ZW
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and
wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. Blow
out 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 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
