Cleaning &
Protecting
Cleaning the Model G0931 is relatively easy. Use
a brush and shop vacuum to remove debris from
the table, rails, and machine surfaces. Never blow
off the Model G0931 with compressed air, as this
could force debris deep into the mechanisms and
airborne material fragments may cause injury to
yourself or bystanders.
Lubrication
By design, the ball screws, rails, and other metal
parts on this machine have hardened surfaces
that are highly resistant to corrosion and wear.
However, periodically wipe metal parts with light
machine oil (see ACCESSORIES on Page 37) to
extend their life.
Note: Lubrication can cause sludge build-up that
will bind moving parts, and corrosion can still
occur if catalysts are trapped beneath lubricant.
Always clean surfaces before applying any form
of lubrication.
