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 mainte-
nance to keep your table saw looking new. Cleaning
and waxing the cast iron surfaces on a regular mainte-
nance schedule is recommended as follows:
To clean and maintain the unpainted cast iron sur-
faces:
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 side-to-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 sur-
faces until the stains or rust is 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.
