Cleaning &
Protecting
Cleaning the Model G0969 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.

Protect the unpainted steel table by wiping it clean
after every use—this ensures moisture from wood
dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces.
All unpainted and machined surfaces should be
wiped down daily to keep them rust free and in
top condition. This includes any surface that is
vulnerable to rust if left unprotected. Use a quality
metal protectant.
Lubrication
Regular application of lithium based grease to the
pivot point of the blade tension lever is recom-
mended every 10–15 hours (see Figure 33).

Additionally, keeping the front and rear trunnions

grease is recommended (see Figure 34).
