Grizzly G1140 instruction manual Clean Up Site Considerations

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 chlo- rine-based solvents as they may damage painted surfaces should they come in contact. Always fol- low 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 solvents. 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.

All die-cut metal parts have a sharp edge (called “flashing”) on them after they are formed. This is generally removed at the factory. Sometimes a bit of flashing might escape inspection, and the sharp edge may cause cuts or lacerations when handled. Please examine the edges of all die-cut metal parts and file or sand the edge to remove the flashing before handling.

1.Floor Load: Your G1140 Sander represents a large weight load in a small footprint. Most commercial floors are suitable for the Model G1140. Some residential floors may require additional build up to support both machine and operator.

2.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 home for your edge sander. Allow sufficient room to safely run your machines in any foresee- able operation.

3.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 amper- age 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.

Be certain that this machine is properly grounded before attempting to use it. If you are unsure of the quality and condition of the circuit you intend to use, have it inspect- ed and repaired by a qualified electrician.

NOTICE

Ensure that the Model G1140 is located on a flat, level surface. This will maximize the stability of the machine and ensure that adjustments are accurate. For conditions where permanent mounting is possible, we recommend bolting the Edge Sander to your floor. This type of mounting will mini- mize vibration and provide a more stable work environment.
