Do not use gasoline or other
Do not smoke while using solvents. A risk of explo- sion or fire exists and may result in serious personal injury.
Many of the solvents commonly used to clean machinery can be toxic when inhaled or ingest- ed. Always work in well- ventilated areas far from potential ignition sources when dealing with sol- vents. Use care when dis- posing of waste rags and towels to be sure they do not create fire or environ- mental hazards.
Site Considerations
FLOOR AND WORKBENCH LOAD
Your Model G4015Z represents a large weight load in a 18" x 363⁄4" footprint. Most commercial or garage shop floors should be sufficient to carry the weight. Before moving the Lathe/Mill onto a residential floor, inspect it carefully to determine that it will be sufficient to carry the load of the machine, the device for moving it and its opera- tors. If you question the strength of your floor, you should consider having it inspected for possible reinforcement. The workbench the machine rests on should be strong and stable enough to hold the weight of the machine and the workpiece to be turned.
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. Consider existing and anticipated machine needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands and/or work tables. Also consider the rel- ative position of each machine to one another for efficient 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 amperage requirements. Outlets should be locat- ed near each machine so power or extension cords are clear of
Make your shop “child safe.” Ensure that your workplace is inaccessible to youngsters by closing and locking all entrances when you are away. Never allow visitors in your shop when assembling, adjust- ing or operating equipment.
