Clean Up

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect it from corrosion during shipment. Remove the protective coating with common paint thinner (mineral spirits) and paper towels. Do not use gasoline or other petroleum based solvents because of their extremely low flash points. Do not use chlorine-based solvents – if you happen to splash some onto a painted sur- face, you’ll ruin the finish.

WARNING

Follow the safety rules listed below when working with solvents.

1.Read and follow all directions and warnings on the solvent label.

2.Work only in a well ventilated area.

3.Do not work near any type of open flame (e.g., pilot lights, kerosene heaters, and so on).

4.DO NOT smoke while working with flammable material.

5.Paper towels from the cleaning process are extremely combustible. Dispose of waste towels so they do not create a fire hazard.

CAUTION

Many of the solvents commonly used to clean machinery can be highly flammable, and toxic when inhaled or ingested. Always work in well-ventilated areas far from poten- tial ignition sources when dealing with sol- vents. Use care when disposing of waste rags and towels to be sure they do not cre- ate fire or environmental hazards. Keep chil- dren and animals safely away when clean- ing and assembling this machine.

Site Considerations

FLOOR LOAD

Your G1021 Planer represents a relatively large weight load in a small footprint. Most commercial floors are suitable for the Model G1021. Some residential floors may require additional support to accommodate both machine and operator.

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. Be sure to allow your- self sufficient room to safely run your machines in any foreseeable operation.

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 combined motor amp loads. Outlets should be located near each machine so power or exten- sion cords are not obstructing high-traffic areas. Be sure to observe local electrical codes for prop- er installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.

CAUTION

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