Cleaning &
Protecting
The cleaning process for this machine is simple.
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.
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
quality lubricants.
