Site Considerations

FLOOR LOAD
Your Model G9862/G9968 Shaper represents a
very large weight load in a moderate sized foot-
print. Most commercial shop floors will be ade-
quate for the 1600 lb. weight of the Model
G9862/G9968. Some floors may require addition-
al support. Contact an architect or structural engi-
neer if you have any question about the ability of
your floor to handle the weight.
Make sure floor structure is
capable of supporting the
combined weight of the
machine parts and people.
WORKING CLEARANCES
Working clearances can be thought of as the dis-
tances between machines and obstacles that
allow safe operation of every machine without
limitation. Consider existing and anticipated
machine needs, size of material to be processed
through each machine, and space for auxiliary
stands and/or work tables. Also consider the rel-
ative position of each machine to one another for
efficient material handling. Be sure to allow your-
self sufficient room to safely run your machines in
any foreseeable operation.

LIGHTING AND OUTLETS
Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate
shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits
should be dedicated or large enough to handle
combined motor amp loads. Outlets should be
located near each machine so power or exten-
sion cords are not obstructing high-traffic areas.
Be sure to observe local electrical codes for prop-
er installation of new lighting, outlets or circuits.
Make your shop "child safe."
Ensure that your workplace
is inaccessible to children by
closing
entrances when you are
away. Never allow visitors in
your shop when assembling,
adjusting or operating equip-
ment.
