Cleaning Machine

Floor Load: Your Model W1679 represents a large weight load in a small footprint. While most commercial floors are suitable for this jointer, some residential floors may require additional bracing to support both machine and operator.

Working Clearances: 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 machine.

Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadow and pre- vent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be dedicated or large enough to handle amper- age requirements. Outlets should be locat- ed near each machine so power or exten- sion cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or cir- cuits.

Always make sure that all entrances to your shop are locked or that machines are equipped with safety lock-out devices to protect curious children or visitors from serious injury. Never allow unsupervised people in your shop who have not been fully trained!

The table and other unpainted parts of the Model W1679 are coated with a waxy grease that protects them from corrosion during shipment.

For optimum performance from your machine, make sure you clean all moving parts or sliding contact surfaces that are coated. Clean this grease off with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. Do not use chlorine-based solvents— if you happen to splash some onto a painted sur- face, you will ruin the finish.

Never use flammables such as gas or other petro- leum-based solvents to clean your machine. These products have low flash points and present the risk of explosion and severe personal injury!

Never smoke while using any cleaning solvents. Smoking may cause explo- sion or risk of fire when exposed to these products!

Most solvents used to clean machinery are toxic when inhaled or ingested. Always work in a well ventilated area when using these prod- ucts and keep away from any potential ignition sources (pilot lights). Always dispose of any waste rags in a sealed container to make sure they do not cause fire or environmental hazards.
