Cleaning &
Protecting
Cleaning the Model G0899 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 the bare metal
surface. Keep the table rust-free with regular
applications of products like G96
SLIPIT , or Boeshield
