Clean Up; Site Considerations - Grizzly G1026 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. For opti-
mum performance from your machine, make
sure you clean all moving parts or sliding
contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlo-
rine-based solvents, such as acetone or brake
parts cleaner, as they may damage painted sur-
faces should they come in contact. Always follow
the manufacturer's instructions when using any
type of cleaning product.
Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and could cause
an explosion or fire if
used to clean machinery.
DO NOT use gasoline or
petroleum products to
clean the machinery.
Many of the solvents
commonly used to clean
machinery can be toxic
when inhaled or ingest-
ed. Lack of ventilation
while using these sol-
vents could cause seri-
ous personal health risks
or fire. Take precautions
from this hazard by only
using cleaning solvents
in a well ventilated area.
G1026 Heavy-Duty Shaper

Site Considerations

FLOOR LOAD
Your Model G1026 Shaper represents a moder-
ately large weight load in a small footprint. Most
commercial or home shop floors will be adequate
for the 345 lb. weight of the Model G1026. Some
floors may require additional support. Contact an
architect or structural engineer if you have any
question about the ability of your floor to handle
the weight.
WORKING CLEARANCES
Working clearances can be thought of as the
distances between machines and obstacles that
allow safe operation of every machine with-
out limitation. Consider existing and anticipated
machine needs, size of material to be processed
through each machine, and space for auxiliary
stands or work tables. Also consider the relative
position of each machine for efficient material
handling. Be sure to allow yourself 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 and locking all
entrances when you are
away. Never allow visitors
in your shop when assem-
bling, adjusting or operating
equipment.
