Model G7947/G7948 (Mfd. Since 01/21)
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.
Keep quill, spindle, column, and table top well
lubricated to prevent rust.
Inspect regularly for tension and wear. Check
pulleys to ensure that they are properly aligned.
See Changing Speeds on Page 29 for more
information about removing/installing belts if you
need help replacing the belts.
SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.
Cleaning the Model G7947/G7948 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 table by wiping
it clean after every use—this ensures moisture
from wood dust does not remain on bare metal
surfaces. Keep the table rust-free with regular
applications of products like G96
®
Gun Treatment,
SLIPIT
®
, or Boeshield
®
T-9 (see Page 34 for more
details).
