Schedule
Cleaning the Model G0632 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.
Remove and debris or oily substances from the
inside of the spindle and quill.
Cleaning
Protect the unpainted cast iron lathe bed by wip-
ing it clean after every use—this ensures mois-
ture from wood dust does not remain on the bare
metal surfaces.
Keep your lathe bed rust-free with regular appli-
cations of products like G96
®
Gun Treatment,
SLIPIT
®
, or Boeshield
®
T-9.

Lubrication
Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person-
al injury.
All bearings for the Model G0632 are lubricated
and sealed at the factory, and do not need addi-
tional lubrication.
Wipe a lightly oiled shop rag on the outside of the
headstock spindle. DO NOT allow any oil to get on
the inside mating surfaces of the spindle.
Use the tailstock handwheel to extend the quill
out to the furthest position and apply a thin coat
of white grease to the outside of the quill. DO NOT
allow any oil or grease to get on the inside mating
surfaces of the quill.
