Clean Up

Site Considerations

Metal components are often coated with a wax or oil to prevent rusting during shipment. Clean all coated parts with a solvent cleaner or cit- rus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895

Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some parts may need to be removed. For optimum performance from your machine, make sure you clean all moving parts or sliding contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlorine-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 gasoline or petroleum products to clean the machinery.

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

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.

Weight Load

The Model G0528 weighs 125 lbs. Most shop floors should be sufficient to carry the weight of the machine. Reinforce the floor if you question its ability to support the weight.

Working Clearance

Working clearances can be thought of as the distances between machines and obstacles that allow safe operation of every machine with- out limitation. Consider existing and anticipated machine needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands or work tables. Also, consider the relative position of each machine to one another for effi- cient 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 the amperage draw. Outlets should be located near each machine so power or extension cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe local elec- trical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.

Unsupervised children and visitors inside your shop could receive 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.
