Cleaning

Cleaning the Model G0613/14 is relatively easy.

chips or by sweeping them up.
If using water based cutting fluid, wipe down
and lubricate areas where the liquid may collect,
causing rust after a period of time.

Lubrication

1. Before applying lubricant to any area, wipe the
area clean to avoid contamination. Lubricate
the blade tensioner leadscrew (Figure 31)
with general purpose grease, and apply a
coat of general purpose oil to all unprotected
cast iron surfaces.
Note: All bearings and the gearbox on the
Model G0613/14 are lubricated and sealed
for life. No further attention is needed unless
damage occurs.
