The painted parts of the vise can be cleaned with a damp
rag. If wood pitch has built up on the components, clean
this with a pitch-dissolver or blade and bit cleaner.
Lubricate the leadscrew with a dry lubrication, such as
silicone or graphite, that will not cause sawdust to stick
to the threads.
If material becomes built up on the threads, clean
thoroughly with a pitch-dissolver.
