G5963 Surface Grinder -9-
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 degreaser such as Grizzly’s
G7895 Citrus-based Degreaser. Avoid chlorine-
based solvents as they may damage painted sur-
faces should they come in contact. Always follow
the usage instructions on the product you choose
for clean up.
Follow the safety rules listed below when work-
ing with solvents.
1. Read and follow all directions and warn-
ings 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 flam-
mable material.
5. Paper towels from the cleaning process
are extremely combustible. Dispose of
waste towels so they do not create a fire
hazard.
Site Considerations
FLOOR LOAD
Your G5963 Surface Grinder represents a large
weight load in a small footprint. Most commercial
floors are suitable for the Model G5963. Some
residential floors may require additional support
to accommodate 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 prop-
er installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
Many of the solvents commonly used to clean
machinery can be highly flammable, and toxic
when inhaled or ingested. Always work in well-
ventilated areas far from potential ignition
sources when dealing with solvents. Use care
when disposing of waste rags and towels to be
sure they do not create fire or environmental
hazards. Keep children and animals safely
away when cleaning and assembling this
machine.
Make your shop “child safe”. Ensure that your
workplace is inaccessible to youngsters by
closing and locking all entrances when you are
away. Never allow visitors in your shop when
assembling, adjusting or operating equipment.
