Clean Up - Grizzly G9862 Instruction Manual

Clean Up

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy
oil to protect them from corrosion during ship-
ment. Remove this protective coating with a sol-
vent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as
Grizzly's G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly,
some parts may need to be removed. Avoid chlo-
rine-based solvents as they may damage painted
surfaces should they come in contact. Always fol-
low the manufacturer's instructions when using
any type of cleaning product.
Do not use gasoline or
other petroleum-based
solvents to clean with.
They have low flash
points which make them
extremely flammable. 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.
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.

In order to thoroughly clean the waxy oil from the
shaper, the guard assembly needs to be removed
as shown in Figure 5. Also, the fence halves and
other components can be cleaned easier if they
are removed from the mounting brackets.
Figure 5. Components removed for cleaning.
After all the waxy oil has been removed from the
shaper table, the guard assembly, the fence
halves, the rub collars and the spindle, lightly oil
all of the parts (especially the mating surfaces)
with a protective lubricant. Replace each piece in
the same manner as it was removed. If desired,
the rub collars can be set aside until you are
ready to install a cutter.
