follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily

•
Any other condition that could hamper the

Cleaning the Model G0605X/G0606X 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. Treat all unpainted cast
iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant after
cleaning.
Occasionally it will become necessary to clean
the internal parts with more than a vacuum. To do
this, remove the table top and clean the internal
parts with citrus cleaner or mineral spirits and
a stiff wire brush or steel wool. DO NOT USE
WATER—WATER WILL CAUSE CAST IRON TO
RUST. Make sure the internal workings are dry
before using the saw again, so that wood dust
will not accumulate. If any essential lubrication
is removed during cleaning, re-lubricate those
areas.
Lubricate the areas indicated below every 6–12
months, depending on frequency of use. These
areas can be reached through the motor cover
opening or the blade opening. Check all adjust-
ments after lubricating.
Lubricate the following components with
multi-purpose grease:

The worm gear, bevel gears, acme screw
and shafts (Parts 99, 33, 38, 6, and 40 on

Note: Using a small brush to apply the grease
may be easier than using your fingers.
