Cleaning; Placement Within The Shop - General International 75-155 Setup & Operation Manual

CLEANING

The protective coating on the machine prevents rust
from forming during shipping and storage. Remove it
by rubbing with a rag dipped in kerosene, mineral spir-
its or paint thinner. (Dispose of potentially flammable
solvent-soaked rags according to manufacturer's safe-
ty recommendations).
A putty knife, held flat to avoid scratching the surface,
may also be used to scrape off the coating followed
by clean-up with solvent. Avoid rubbing the machine's
painted surfaces, as many solvent-based products will
remove paint.
To prevent rust, apply a light coating of paste wax or
use regular applications of any after-market surface
protectant or rust inhibitor.
PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP / SAFETY ZONE
THIS DRILL PRESS MODEL (1) 75-155, (2) 75-165 OR (3) 75-510 IS HEAVY. DO NOT OVER-EXERT. A HOIST OR FORK-
LIFT WITH STRAPS SHOULD BE USED TO LIFT THIS MACHINE. TO LIMIT THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE TO

PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP

This machine should be installed and operated only
on a solid, flat and stable floor that is able to support
the weight of the machine 136 lbs (1), 161 lbs (2) or 284
lbs (3) and the operator.
Using the dimensions shown as a guideline, plan for
placement within your shop that will allow the operator
to work unencumbered and unobstructed by foot traf-
fic (either passing shop visitors or other shop workers)
or other tools or machinery.
ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
For shops with frequent visitors or multiple operators,
it is advisable to establish a safety zone around shop
machinery.
A clearly defined "no-go" zone on the floor around
each machine can help avoid accidents that could
cause injury to either the operator or the shop visitor.
It is advisable to take a few moments to either paint
(using non-slip paint) or using tape, define on the floor
the limits or perimeter of each machines safety zone.
Take steps to ensure that all operators and shop visi-
tors are aware that these areas are off limits whenever
a machine is running for everyone but the individual
operating the unit.
