Clean Up
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy
oil to protect it from corrosion during shipment.
Remove the protective coating with common
paint thinner (mineral spirits) and paper towels.
Do not use gasoline or other petroleum based
solvents because of their extremely low flash
points. Do not use chlorine-based solvents – if
you happen to splash some onto a painted sur-
face, you'll ruin the finish.
Follow the safety rules listed below when
working with solvents.
1.
Read and follow all directions and
warnings on the solvent label.
2.
Work only in a well ventilated area.
3.
Do not work near any type of open
flame (e.g., pilot lights, kerosene
heaters, and so on).
4.
DO NOT smoke while working with
flammable material.
5.
Paper towels from the cleaning process
are extremely combustible. Dispose of
waste towels so they do not create a
fire hazard.
Some die-cut metal parts may have sharp
edges (called "flashing") on them after they
are formed. Please examine the edges of all
die-cut metal parts before handling them.
Failure to do so could result in injury.

Site Considerations
FLOOR LOAD
Your G1012 Bandsaw represents a large weight
load in a small footprint. Most commercial floors
are suitable for the Model G1012. Some residen-
tial floors may require additional build up to sup-
port both machine and operator.
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
proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or cir-
cuits.
Make your shop "child safe". Ensure that
your workplace is inaccessible to young-
sters by closing and locking all entrances
when you are away. Never allow visitors in
your shop when assembling, adjusting or
operating equipment.
