Schedule

For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily:
• Vacuum all dust on and around the
machine.
• Wipe down tables and all other unpainted
cast iron with a metal protectant.
Monthly Check:

net and off of motor.

V-Belts

motor to the blade, the V-belts must be in good

Cleaning

Cleaning the Model G0586 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 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
®
Boeshield T-9.

Lubrication

Since all bearings are sealed and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.
Table ways and the fence assembly should not
be lubricated. If the tables appear to be stuck,
disassemble and clean any foreign materials
from the ways. Re-assemble and reset the gibs.
