Grizzly G2790 instruction manual Clean Up, Site Considerations

Clean Up

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect it from corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with with a sol- vent 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 prod- uct 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.

Site Considerations

BENCH LOAD

Your G2790 Universal Knife Grinder represents a moderately large weight load in a small footprint. Be sure that your workbench is adequately rein- forced to support the weight of the grinder.

WORKING CLEARANCES

Working clearances can be thought of as the dis- tances between machines and obstacles that allow safe operation of every machine without limitation. Ensure that your working area offers plenty of room for free movement and a substan- tial amount of distance between you and others that may be working in your shop space.

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 combined motor amp loads. Outlets should be located near each machine so power or exten- sion cords are not obstructing high-traffic areas. Be sure to observe local electrical codes for prop- er installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.

Make your shop “child safe”. Ensure that your workplace is inaccessible to young- sters by closing and locking all entrances when you are away. Never allow visitors in your shop when assembling, adjusting or operating equipment.

NOTICE

To provide the most stable and secure working environment, we strongly recom- mend bolting the grinder to your work- bench. Two bolt holes are included for con- venient mounting.
