SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person
-
al injury.
For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily Check
:
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Worn or damaged wires.
• Worn switch
• Any other unsafe condition.
Monthly Check:
• Belt tension, damage, or wear.
• Clean/vacuum dust buildup off of motor.
Schedule
Cleaning the Model G0624 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
lathe by wiping them clean after every use—this
ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain
on bare metal surfaces.
Keep the bed rust-free with regular applications
of products like G96
®
Gun Treatment, SLIPIT
®
, or
Boeshield
®
T-9 (see Section 5: Accessories on
Page 21
for more details).
Unpainted Cast Iron
Lubricate the locations shown in Figure 36 with
light machine oil or
