schedule

Metal chips left on the machine that have been
soaked with water-based coolant will invite oxi-
dation and a gummy residue buildup around the
moving parts. use a brush and shop vacuum to
remove chips and debris from the working sur-
faces of the mill. never blow off the mill with com-
pressed air, as this will force metal chips deep into
the mechanisms and may cause injury to yourself
or bystanders.

remove any rust build-up from unpainted cast
iron surfaces of your mill and treat them with a
non-staining lubricant after cleaning.

Keep unpainted cast iron surfaces rust-free with
regular applications of products like g96

®

gun

treatment, slipit

®

, or Boeshield

t-9 (see the
