cleaning

Cleaning the Model g0513/g0514 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 clean-
ing.

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
