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.

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 ® , or
Boeshield ® t-9 (see Section 5: Accessories on
page 37 for more details).
Unpainted cast Iron
Sealed and pre-lubricated ball bearings require
no lubrication for the life of the bearings. All bear-
ings are standard sizes, and replacements can be
purchased from our parts department or bearing
supply store.
For adjustment controls, an occasional “shot” of
light oil is all that is necessary. Wipe off any saw-
dust with a clean cloth, towel or dry paint brush,
and spray on the lubricant. do not get oil on the
pulleys or v-belt because it could cause belt dete-
rioration and slipping.
