Floor Load

The Model G0550 weighs 410 lbs and has a 25" x 25" footprint. The Model G0551 weighs 450 lbs and has a 21" x 21" footprint. Most commercial floors are suitable for the machine. Some resi- dential floors may require additional reinforce- ment to support both the machine and operator.

Working Clearances

Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when establishing a location for the machine. See Figure 6 for the overall dimen- sions of the Model G0550/G0551.

Unsupervised children and visitors inside your shop could receive seri- ous personal injury. Ensure child and visitor safety by keeping all entrances to the shop locked at all times. DO NOT allow unsupervised children or visitors in the shop at any time.

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.

Gasoline and petroleum products have low flash points and could explode if used to clean machin- ery. DO NOT use gaso- line or petroleum prod- ucts to clean the machin- ery.

Smoking near solvents could ignite an explosion or fire and cause serious injury. DO NOT smoke while using solvents.

Many of the solvents commonly used to clean machinery can be toxic when inhaled or ingest- ed. Lack of ventilation while using these sol- vents could cause seri- ous personal health risks or fire. Take precautions from this hazard by only using cleaning solvents in a well ventilated area.
