Schedule
Cleaning the Model G0460/G0461 is relatively
easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust,
and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth.
Use compressed air to blow dust from between
the two sections of the sliding table. If any resin
has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to
remove it.
Never use water to clean the machine. Unpainted
cast iron or other metal parts will quickly rust.
Treat all unpainted cast iron and steel with a non-

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.

products like G96
