MAINTENANCE
MAKE SURE that your machine is
unplugged during all maintenance pro-
cedures! If this warning is ignored,
serious personal injury may occur.
Cleaning the W1745W 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-
desolving 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 quality lubricants.
