Clean Up; Site Considerations - Grizzly G0555 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 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 .
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.

Site Considerations

• Floor Load: Your Model G0555 14" Ultimate
Bandsaw represents a moderate weight load
in a small footprint. Most commercial floors
are suitable for the Model G0555. Some res-
idential floors may require additional build up
to support both the machine and the opera-
tor.
• Working Clearances: Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be
processed through each machine, and space
for auxiliary stands, work tables or other
machinery when establishing a location for
your bandsaw.
• Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be
bright enough to eliminate shadow and pre-
vent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be
dedicated or large enough to handle amper-
age requirements. Outlets should be located
near each machine so power or extension
cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe
local electrical codes for proper 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 assembling,
adjusting,
equipment.
