37 Oiling For our naturally oiled beech benches, for instance Sjöbergs Elite and Sjöbergs Scandi, it is important to oil them regularly. You can tell rather easily when the need arises because the surface will feel dry and absorb liquids. Any glue and paint residues should be scraped off the surface. Sand the surface lightly with a 120 Grit sandpaper and then apply a colourless natural oil for wood with a sponge or cloth. Be sure to remove any excess oil before it dries. When the oil has hardened/dried (after about 10 hours), you can polish the surface with a cloth. If only cleaning the oiled surface, use a superfatted soap with pH 8–9. Lubrication of spindles The spindles in both the front and end vice are made of metal and need to be oiled regularly. Lubricate the spindle and move the vice back and forth a few times! Lacquer If you have a lacquered bench from the factory, you should only use lacquer. At our factory we use a water-based lacquer. Stability Our benches are delivered partially disassembled so not to be too bulky for shipping. After the bench is assembled, you should check that the connections are tight. Some bench models have a guide that can be adjusted when necessary. (See assembly instructions). If you want the bench to be more stable, you can fix the bench to the floor through the predrilled holes in the feet. MAINTENANCE
