Ta bl e
The table and other non-painted surfaces on the
Model G1021Z should be protected against rust
and pitting. Wiping the table clean after every use
ensures that moisture from wood dust isn’t
allowed to trap moisture against bare metal sur-
faces.
Some woodworkers recommend using automo-
tive paste wax on exposed steel and cast iron sur-
faces. The wax provides a layer of protection, as
well as reducing friction between lumber and the
table, making cuts faster and smoother. Avoid
waxes that contain silicone or other synthetic
ingredients. These materials can find their way
into lumber that’s being worked, and can make
staining and finishing difficult. If you use paste
wax, make sure that it’s 100% Carnauba wax.
