MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
Since all bearings are sealed and
permanently lubricated, simply leave them
alone until they need to be replaced. Do
not lubricate them.
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.
The table can be kept rust-free with regular applications
of products like SLIPIT
®
. For long term storage you may
want to consider products like Boeshield T-9™.
Unpainted Cast Iron
Cleaning the Model W1708 is 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.
Cleaning
