ASSEMBLY
Initial Cleaning
The exposed and unpainted shaper surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to prevent rust during storage and shipment. DO NOT use chlorine based solutions or solvents to remove the waxy oil, or you will damage the painted surfaces. Remove the waxy oil with a solvent based degreaser before you use the shaper. Always follow all use and safety instructions of the product that you are using.
DO NOT use flammables such as gas or other
DO NOT smoke while using cleaning solvents. Smoking may cause explosion or risk of fire when exposed to these products!
ALWAYS work in a well ventilated area when using solvents with fumes, and keep away from any potential ignition sources (pilot lights). Most solvents used to clean machinery are toxic when inhaled or ingested. Always dispose of waste rags in a sealed container to make sure they do not cause fire or environmental hazards.
