Clean up

 

Site Considerations

 

 

 

 

 

 

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect it from corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. Avoid chlorine -based solvents as they may damage painted surfaces should they come in contact. Always follow the usage instructions on the product you choose for clean up.

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 potential ignition sources when dealing with sol- vents. Use care when disposing of waste rags and towels to be sure they do not create fire or environmental hazards. Keep children and animals safely away when cleaning and assembling this machine.

Do not use gasoline or other petroleum- based solvents to remove this protective coating. These products generally have low flash points which makes them extremely flammable. A risk of explosion and burning exists if these products are used. Serious personal injury may occur.

The cutterhead knives on the G1017 planer are extremely sharp. Merely brushing your finger along the edge can result in a severe cut. Take extreme caution when doing any of the adjustments involving the cutterhead knives. Wear thick gloves anytime it is necessary to manually rotate the cutterhead assembly.

The Model G1017 is designed to be portable. There are handles on both sides of the planer to aid in lifting and moving. Before moving the plan- er, fold the depth control handle down, the extension wings up and ensure that the power cord is disconnected.

1.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 loca- tion for your planer.

2.Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadow and pre- vent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be dedicated or large enough to handle amperage requirements. Outlets should be located near each machine so power or extension cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
