Cleanup

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that prevents corrosion during shipment and storage. This rust preventative works extremely well, but it will take a little time clean.

Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions with any cleaning product you use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated area to minimize expo- sure to toxic fumes.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

disposable Rags

Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

safety glasses & disposable gloves

plastic paint scraper (optional)

hex Wrench 6mm

Quality metal protectants products like G96® Gun Treatment, SLipit®, or Boeshield® T-9 (see Page 13 for offering from Grizzly).

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:

1.put on safety glasses.

2.remove the fingers (refer to Page 11 for detailed instructions).

3.Coat the rust preventative with a liberal amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak for 5–10 minutes.

4.Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/ degreaser is effective, the rust preventative will wipe off easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper, scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe off the rest with the rag.

5.repeat Steps 3–4as necessary until clean.

6.Apply a thin coat of quality metal protectant to the fingers and other unpainted metal sur- faces, then re-install the fingers.

Site Considerations

Workbench Load

Refer to Specifications on Page 3 for the weight of your machine. Some workbenches may require additional reinforcement to support both the machine and materials.

Placement Location

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 location for your new machine. See Figure 2 for the minimum working clearances.

Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as acetone or brake parts cleaner, that may damage painted surfaces.
