naturally youll want to first disassemble the larger sections of the machine and possiably remove electrical components before you clean it,
you find a nice location with good drainage where you can take your time and pressure wash the crap out of the tool after soaking it down a few times with a good commercial grease solvent or the spray engine cleaners like GUNK, then spray it down with WD40 to help remove water/moisture.
now you don,t want some crazy tree hugger screaming about getting greasy suds into the water supply so a commercial car wash with the bays where you rent a pressure wand and throw pockets full of quarters into the machine while the machines in a pick-up truck bed might be an option.
once you get it reasonably clean ID suggest placing it near a portable heater someplace and carefully use lint free cloth and oil to finish up the process and don,t get cheap with the oil, BTW MARVEL MYSTERY OIL is a good cleaner as its loaded with solvents and leaves a protective film, but the key to doing this correctly is having the clean components dry and well oiled and hot to the touch from the heat source so you know the moistures been removed from the little cracks and threads, etc. before stopping the clean up process. try to prevent CONDENSATION, by keeping the machine surfaces hot to the touch and coated with oil. and don,t ignore the harder to access areas that a hair drier and a can of spray oil might be necessary to reach.

once you get it home a shop vacuum, a stiff brush and lots of oil on a lint free cloth and frequent sprays of oil like LPS is a good idea
