Site Considerations

Floor Load

Your lathe is a heavy load distributed in a small footprint. Place this machine on concrete floors only. The floor MUST be level, or the lathe frame and ways may distort over time.

Clean Up

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to prevent corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Citrus Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some parts must be removed.

Placement Location

Consider existing and anticipated needs, service panel access, length of rods to be loaded into the lathe, and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when establishing a location for your lathe (see Figure 5 for minimum wall clearances).

Children and visitors may be seriously injured if unsuper- vised. Lock all entrances to the shop when you are away. DO NOT allow unsupervised children or visitors in your shop at any time!

Gasoline and petroleum products have low flash points and can explode or cause fire if used to clean machinery. DO NOT use these products to clean the machinery.

Many cleaning solvents are toxic if inhaled. Minimize your risk by only using these products in a well ventilated area.
