SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
Schedule
Cleaning the Model G0495X 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.
Cleaning
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. Keep tables
rust-free with regular applications of products like
G96
®
Gun Treatment, SLIPIT
®
, or Boeshield
®
T-9.
Unpainted Cast Iron
Since all bearings on the G0495X are sealed and
permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone
until they need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate
them.
Below is a list of components that require periodic
lubrication. Be careful not to over-lubricate these
components. Large amounts of lubricant will
attract sawdust, causing the metal components to
gum up and bind.
Fence: Place one or two drops of light machine oil
on the fence pivot points (see
Figure 32) as needed.
Lubrication

Gears: Use a small brush to apply multi-purpose
grease to the worm gear shafts and gears.
To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.
For optimum performance from this machine, this
maintenance schedule must be strictly followed.

and fix the problem before continuing operations:
•
Loose mounting bolts.
•
Dust or debris on and around machine.
•
Dull or damaged cutterhead inserts.
•
Unprotected cast-iron surfaces.
•
Worn or damaged wires.
•
Any other unsafe condition.
Monthly Check
•
Clean and lubricate fence pivot points.

Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside stand
and off of motor.
•
Replace batteries in control panel and digital
sensor as needed.
