Clean Up

Gasoline and petroleum products have low flash points and could explode if used to clean machin- ery. DO NOT use gasoline or petroleum products to clean the machinery.
Lack of ventilation while using solvents could cause serious person- al health risks, fire, or environmental hazards. Always work in a well ventilated area to pre- vent the accumulation of dangerous fumes. Supply the work area with a constant source of fresh air.

Site Considerations
Floor Load
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight and footprint specifications of your machine. Some shop floors may require additional reinforcement to support both the machine and operator.
Working Clearance
Working clearances can be thought of as the distances between machines and obstacles that allow safe operation of every machine without limitation. Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the dimensions of your machine. Consider exist- ing and anticipated machine needs, size of mate- rial to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands and/or work tables. Also, consider the relative position of each machine to one another for efficient material handling. Be sure to allow yourself sufficient room to safely run your machines in any foreseeable operation and keep dust collection hoses off the floor and out of the way.
Lighting
Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadows and prevent eye strain. Electrical cir- cuits should be dedicated or large enough to handle combined motor amp loads. Be sure to observe local electrical codes for proper installa- tion of new lighting or circuits.
Unsupervised children and visitors entering a shop could suffer serious per- sonal injury. Ensure child and visitor safety by keep- ing all entrances to the shop locked at all times. DO NOT allow unsuper- vised children or visitors in the shop at any time.
