Clean Up

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect them from corrosion during ship- ment. Remove this protective coating with a sol- vent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some parts may need to be removed. For opti- mum performance from your machine, make sure you clean all moving parts or sliding contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlo- rine-based solvents as they may damage painted surfaces should they come in contact. Always fol- low the manufacturer’s instructions when using any type of cleaning product.

Do not use gasoline or other petroleum-based solvents to clean with. They have low flash points which make them extremely flammable. A risk of explosion and burning exists if these products are used.

Do not smoke while using solvents. A risk of explo- sion or fire exists and may result in serious personal injury.

Many of the solvents commonly used to clean machinery can be toxic when inhaled or ingest- ed. Always work in well- ventilated areas far from potential ignition sources when dealing with sol- vents. Use care when dis- posing of waste rags and towels to be sure they do not create fire or environ- mental hazards.

Site Considerations

FLOOR AND WORKBENCH LOAD

Your Model G0516 represents a medium weight load in a 161⁄2" X 43" footprint. Most commercial or garage shop floors should be sufficient to carry the weight. Before moving the Lathe/Mill onto a residential floor, inspect it carefully to determine that it will be sufficient to carry the load of the machine, the device for moving it and its opera- tors. If you question the strength of your floor, you should consider having it inspected for possible reinforcement. The workbench the machine rests on should be strong and stable enough to hold the weight of the machine and the workpiece to be turned.

WORKING CLEARANCES

Working clearances can be thought of as the dis- tances between machines and obstacles that allow safe operation of every machine without limitation. Consider existing and anticipated machine needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands and/or work tables. Also consider the rel- ative position of each machine to one another for efficient material handling.

LIGHTING AND OUTLETS

Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be dedicated or large enough to handle amperage requirements. Outlets should be locat- ed near each machine so power or extension cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.

Make your shop “child safe.” Ensure that your workplace is inaccessible to youngsters by closing and locking all entrances when you are away. Never allow visitors in your shop when assembling, adjust- ing or operating equipment.
