in the outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open
circuit breakers in the line.

extension table or other work surface weekly. Or use a
commercially available protective product designed for
this purpose. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for
use and safety.
To clean cast iron tables of rust, you will need the
following materials: a sheet of medium Scotch-Brite™
Blending Hand Pad, a can of WD-40® and a can of
degreaser. Apply the WD-40 and polish the table
surface with the Scotch-Brite pad.
