Cleaning &
Protecting
Cleaning the Model G4179 is relatively easy.
Frequently blow off sawdust with compressed air.
This is especially important for internal working
parts and the motor. Dust build-up around the
motor will decrease its lifespan. If rollers become
loaded up with pitch, oil, or other residues, wipe
with a clean rag and soap and water. Keep min-
eral spirits away from plastic parts or painted sur-
faces to avoid damage.
Lubrication
Other than the lubrication points covered in this
section, all other bearings are internally lubricated
and sealed at the factory. Simply leave them
alone unless they need to be replaced.
Before
performing
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
IMPORTANT: Before adding lubricant, clean any
debris and grime from fill hole/grease fitting and
immediate area to prevent contamination of new
lubricant.
Use the schedule below and the following instruc-
tions to properly lubricate the other components
