section 7: maintenance
Cleaning the model g0623X/g0623X3 is relative-
ly easy. vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust
from the table saw and inside the cabinet. Wipe
off the remaining dust with a dry cloth.
use compressed air (make sure to wear safety
glasses and a respirator when doing this) to blow
dust from between the two sections of the sliding
table. if any resin has built up, use a resin dissolv-
ing cleaner to remove it. treat all unpainted cast
iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant after
cleaning.
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. do Not clean
cast iron with water or it will rust!
Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of
products like g96
® gun treatment, slipit ® , or
boeshield ® t-9 (see page 61 for more details).
unpainted cast iron
always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
failure to do this may
result in serious person-
al injury.
the frequency of maintenance necessary for any
machine will always depend on the operating con-
ditions and environment. the schedule below is a
basic guideline for keeping your machine in prop-
er operating condition. always repair any adverse
