Clean Up

The unpainted surfaces (including the knife and cutterhead) are coated with a waxy oil to pre- vent corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or cit- rus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. For thorough cleaning, some parts must be removed. For optimum performance from your machine, clean all moving parts or sliding contact surfaces. Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as acetone or brake parts cleaner that may damage painted surfaces. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using any type of cleaning product.

Gasoline and petroleum products have low flash points and can explode or cause fire if used to clean machinery. DO NOT use these products to clean the machinery.

Many cleaning solvents are toxic if inhaled. Minimize your risk by only using these products in a well ventilated area.

G7895—Grizzly Citrus Degreaser

This natural, citrus-based degreaser is a great solution for removing export grease, and it’s much safer to work around than nasty solvents.

Site Considerations

Workbench Load

Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight and footprint specifications of your machine. Some workbenches may require additional rein- forcement to support both the machine and the workpiece.

Placement Location

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 your new machine. See Figure 4 for the minimum working clearances.
