Cleaning and
Protecting
Sawdust, wood chips, and metal chips left on the
machine will invite oxidation and a gummy residue
buildup around the moving parts. Use a brush and
shop vacuum to remove chips and debris from the
working surfaces of the mill. Never blow off the
mill with compressed air, as this will force metal
chips deep into the mechanisms and may cause
injury to yourself or bystanders.
Remove any rust build-up from unpainted cast
iron surfaces of your mill and treat them with a
non-staining lubricant after cleaning.
Keep unpainted cast iron surfaces rust-free
with regular applications of products like G96
Gun Treatment, SLIPIT
