Machine Storage
All machinery will develop serious rust problems
and corrosion damage if it is not properly
prepared for storage. If decommissioning this
machine, use the steps in this section to ensure
that it remains in good condition.
To prepare machine for storage or
decommission it from service:
1.
Disconnect all power sources to machine.
2.
Thoroughly clean all unpainted, bare metal
surfaces, then coat them with light weight
grease or rust preventative. Take care to
ensure these surfaces are completely covered
but that grease or rust preventative is kept
off of painted surfaces.
Note:
If the machine will be out of service for
only a short period of time, use way oil or a
good grade of medium-weight machine oil
(not auto engine oil) in place of the grease or
rust preventative.
3.
Loosen or remove belt so it does not become
stretched while machine is not in use.
4.
Completely cover machine with tarp or
plastic sheet that will keep out dust and
resist liquid or moisture. If machine will be
stored in/near direct sunlight, use cover that
will block the sun's rays.

Cleaning & Protecting
Cleaning the Model SB1093 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 table by wiping
it clean after every use—this ensures moisture
from wood dust does not remain on bare
metal surfaces. Keep the table rust-free with
regular applications of products like G96

Gun
Treatment, SLIPIT

, or Boeshield
