Assembly
The SFG10E SURFACE GRINDER is shipped from the factory secured on a specially designed wooden pallet and protected from external damage by a corrugated carton or wood crate. If shipped with a corrugated carton, the SURFACE GRINDER can be secured to the pallet by wood laths nailed to the pallet body. Remove the carton or crate immediately upon receipt using suitable tools to remove the nails.
REMOVING THE SURFACE GRINDER FROM THE PALLET
Tools Required:
1 set of pliers.
1 claw hammer or a hammer and an appropriate pry bar.
The SURFACE GRINDER is secured to the pallet with steel banding. Using the pliers, cut and remove the banding.The SURFACE GRINDER can then be removed from the pallet.
DANGER
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES AND OTHER APPROPRI- ATE SAFETY APPARELWHEN CUTTINGTHE STEEL BANDING AND/OR REMOVINGTHE CORRUGATED/ WOOD SHIPPING CRATE.
Visually inspect the shipment for freight damage and/or missing parts. If shipping damage is evident, contact the delivering carrier immediately to arrange for an inspection of the damage by their claims representative. Federal law requires that a claim be filed within a specific time period. If missing parts are detected, notify your dealer who will assist you in obtaining them.
The SURFACE GRINDER is shipped from the factory completely assembled. If ordered with the SURFACE GRINDER,
Check all fasteners for proper security. Consult a fastener torque chart for the proper torque value if any fastener is found to require retorquing.
After April 1, 1996 all single head SURFACE GRINDERS are shipped from the factory with the SFSG121000 Safety and Dust Shield Assembly Kit. The SFSG121000 Safety and Dust Shield is designed to perform the following job functions:
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATIONS
1)To contain loose materials within the platform area of the SURFACE GRINDER as a direct result of a specific grinding process.This includes materials removed from the surface as well as any slurry mixture utilized to help maximize material removal efficiencies.
2)To provide a method for a vacuum system to help remove airborne dust related materials from within the skirt assembly. Dust related materials are usually created as a result of the grinding process. A specific job application may require the reduction and/or minimization of airborne dust related materials from the atmosphere while the SURFACE GRINDER is being operated. The kit includes a hose and necessary hardware to connect the skirt assembly to the 3 inch diameter vacuum attachment fitting located at the rear of the machine. Use of the kit along with a suitable vacuum system will not completely remove all airborne and loose materials directly from the work surface.
DANGER
THE USE OF THE SFSG121000 SAFETY AND DUST SHIELD ASSEMBLY KIT ALONG WITH A SUITABLE VACUUM SYSTEM TO REMOVE HAZARDOUS CLASSIFIED, AIRBORNE MATERIALS FROM THE WORK SURFACE WILL NOT ELIMINATE THE REQUIREMENT FOR PROPER SAFETY RELATED EQUIPMENT, OPERATING PLAN AND/OR PROCEDURES.
DANGER
USE OFTHE SFSG121000 SAFETY AND DUST SHIELD ASSEMBLY KIT ALONG WITH A SUITABLE VACUUM SYSTEM WILL NOT COMPLETELY REMOVE ALL LOOSE MATERIALS FROM THE WORK SURFACE. HAZARDOUS CLASSIFIED,LOOSE MATERIALS MUST BE REMOVED FROMTHE WORK SURFACE BY PRO- CESSES AND/OR PROCEDURES MEETING THE APPLICABLE OSHA AND/OR EPA REQUIREMENTS.
