SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.
Cleaning the Model G0766 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 surfaces by wip-
ing them clean after every use—this ensures
moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare
metal surfaces. Keep the surfaces rust-free with
regular applications of products like G96
®
Gun
Treatment, SLIPIT
®
, or Boeshield
®
T-9 (see Page
36 for more details).

out to the furthest position and apply a thin coat of
white lithium grease to the outside of the quill. DO
