Section 6: Maintenance; Schedule; Cleaning; Unpainted Cast Iron - Grizzly G0645 Owner's Manual

SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person-
al injury.

Schedule

For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily Check:
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Worn switch or damaged wires.
• Any other unsafe condition.
• Worn or damaged chisel or bits.

Cleaning

Cleaning the Model G0645 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. Treat all unpainted cast iron and steel
with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning.

Unpainted Cast Iron

Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the
table by wiping the table clean after every use—
this ensures moisture from wood dust does not
remain on bare metal surfaces.
Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of
products like G96 Gun Treatment, SLIPIT
®
Boeshield T-9 (see Section 5: Accessories on
®
Page 23 for more details).
Drill Bits & Mortising
Chisels
The drill bits for mortising chisels operate under
extreme conditions. A small amount of bees wax
applied to the drill bit can aid in reducing heat and
expelling chips. It is important that a small amount
is used and none is applied to the chisel. Bees
wax coming into contact with the finished surfaces
will impede adhesion of glues and finishes.
