Cleaning &
Protecting
Cleaning the Model G0636X 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.
Protect the unpainted cast iron table by wiping
it clean after every use—this ensures moisture
from wood dust does not remain on bare metal
surfaces. Keep the table rust-free with regular
applications of products like G96
T-9 (see Page 42 for more
SLIPIT , or Boeshield
® ®
details).

Brushes

The bandsaw is equipped with three lower brush-
es. The brushes should be checked daily and
cleaned when they become dirty. There are
adjustment brackets that allow the brushes to
be adjusted for bristle wear. Refer to Adjusting
Brushes on Page 50 for adjustment details.

Lubrication

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 a bearing
supply store.
Most other moving parts need to be lubricated
as needed to maintain smooth function of the
bandsaw.
