PROTECTING
CAST iRON TABLE
FROM RUST
MAKE CERTAIN to turn the power "OFF" and unplug
the power cord from its power source
The environment and frequency of human contact can
have a very detrimental impact on unpainted cast iron
surfaces, Moisture, humidity and oils (from human
hands!) can cause the unpainted cast iron surfaces to
mar or rust, so it is important to conduct routine main-
tenance to keep your table saw looking new, Cleaning
and waxing the cast iron surfaces on a regular main-
tenance schedule is recommended
as follows:
To ctean and maintain
the
unpainted
cast iron surfaces:
Apply a heavy coat of WD-40 onto the unpainted cast
iron surface,
Use a fine steel wool pad to buff the unpainted cast
iron, Make sure to buff in a "front to rear" direction
only, A side4o-side buffing motion will show in the
finely ground cast iron as a flaw, defect or scratches,
Reapply WD-40 and buff the unpainted cast iron
surfaces until the stains or rust are removed, Make
sure you use the same front-to-rear buffing direction
to avoid scratching or marring the cast iron surface,
After all stains and/or rust have been removed, clean
all oil and dirt from the table saw using a soft cloth or
rag,
Lastly, you need to apply a good automotive paste
wax to all unpainted cast iron surfaces, This will help
to protect the saw from rusting from further contact
with moisture or oily hands,
LUBRiCATiON
The Jointer/Planer
has sealed lubricated bearings in
the motor housing and cutterhead that do not require
any additional lubrication from the operator,
Fence guide and elevation screws should be cleaned
of debris and greased as needed,
Occasionally apply a few drops of light machine oil to
gibs to keep tables free in relation to base,
CAUTION: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE
MATERIALS
to clean the Jointer/Planer, A clean dry rag or brush is
all that is needed to remove dust and debris buildup,
