Cleaning

Cleaning the model g1071 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).

Sanding Sleeves

as sanding sleeves are used, they will become
"loaded" with saw dust. if not removed, this saw
dust will harden on the abrasive surface, greatly
reducing the effectiveness of the sanding sleeve.
routinely clean the sanding sleeves with a rubber
gum abrasive cleaner such as the pro-stiK
cleaners shown in figure 36.
figure 36. Sanding sleeve maintenance.
always discard worn sanding sleeves. as abra-
sives begin to wear, grit will begin to fall off, caus-
ing deep gouges in the workpiece. glue used
to hold the grit to the paper will rub off onto the
workpiece, causing burns and interfering with the
final finishing.
