CARE OF CABINET

ABLE CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Modern style tables (Addison, Black Knight, Renegade)

• Synthetic surfaces, such as laminates, can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent.

Furniture Tables (Pocket tables)

• Dust natural wood cabinetry frequently. To restore original luster, use a non-residue-producing dusting

agent, such as mild lemon oil.

• Never use glass cleaner on wood surfaces—the ammonia can chemically attack the finish.

• High or low humidity extremes can cause the wood to warp and crack over time. Regulate humidity with

a humidifier or dehumidifier accordingly.

• Although the finish is durable, spills should be cleaned immediately to prevent stains or damage.

CLOTH CARE

• Until it is broken-in, a new cloth can considerably affect ball roll. This is normal. Break in your cloth by

brushing it as often as possible during the first three months of use.

• Alternate breaking and racking ends of table when possible. Avoid excessively sliding the rack—try to rack

in one motion.

• Avoid excessive ball build-up in pockets. If not allowed to drop properly, balls can wear out the cloth

around pockets more quickly.

• Chalk is a grinding agent, so avoid chalking your cue over the table.

• The massé, jump shot, etc., can lead to scars or tears in the cloth.

• Always brush the cloth in the same direction toward the end of the table. Never brush in a circular motion.

Cloth may be vacuumed, in one direction only, using the upholstery attachment.

• To protect your cloth against light, dust and moisture, cover your table when not in use.

• The cloth can wrinkle and become loose if subjected to extreme temperatures or humidity. Regulate both

POCKETS AND HARDWARE CARE

Pockets

• Protect pockets from heat and light (sunlight, fireplaces, etc.) and humidity.

• Do not sit or lean on pockets.

• To avoid scuffing when shooting, never slide cue over pocket.

• Examine pockets frequently to ensure no tacks or staples have loosened. Loose tacks can damage pool balls.

• Dust pockets frequently. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap when needed. Dry with a soft clean cloth.

• Never set anything on pockets—pen ink, nail polish remover, etc., can permanently stain pockets.

• For leather pockets, treat with saddle soap or similar product. When finished, wipe pockets thoroughly to

prevent ball and cloth blemishes.

• Avoid storing balls in pockets for extended periods of time. If you do, distribute balls evenly in all pockets.

Hardware

• Clean table hardware components with a damp cloth. This includes rail caps, cabinet corners, table feet and

leg levelers.

• Brushed aluminum components should only be cleaned with Never Dull

dulled if other cleaners are used.

• Clean balls as needed with a mild household degreaser, such as 409
