Clean Up

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect them from corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 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.

Do not use gasoline or other petroleum-based solvents. They have low flash points which make them extremely flamma- ble. A risk of explosion and burning exists if these p r o d u c t s a r e u s e d . Serious personal injury may occur if this warning is ignored.

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 LOAD

Your Model G9984/G9985 represents a large weight load in a medium footprint. Most commer- cial or home shop floors should be sufficient to carry the weight of the Model G9984/G9985. If you question the strength of your floor, you can opt to reinforce it. Ensure that the stand or bench you use with the Model G9984/G9985 is capable of supporting the machine.

WORKING CLEARANCES

Working clearances can be thought of as the dis- tances between machines and obstacles that allow safe operation of every machine without lim- itation. 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 relative position of each machine to one another for effi- cient material handling. Be sure to allow yourself sufficient room to safely run your machines in any foreseeable operation and keep dust collection hoses off the floor and out of the way.

LIGHTING AND OUTLETS

Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadows 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 extension cords are not obstructing high-traffic areas. Be sure to observe local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.

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 equip- ment.
