directly beneath table or against handles or levers
Exposed metal surfaces, such as table surface and
blade guides, have been given a protective coating
at the factory. This coating should be removed with
a soft cloth moistened with solvent. Do not get
solvents near plastic or rubber parts; and do not
use an abrasive pad as it may scratch exposed
surfaces.
