Clean Up
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil
to protect them from corrosion during shipment.
Remove this protective coating with a solvent
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 con-
tact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlorine-
based solvents 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.
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
products are used.
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 ingested.
Always work in well-ven-
tilated 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 new planer represents a small weight load in
a small sized footprint. Most shop floors will be
adequate for the weight of this machine, the work-
bench, the operator and the material being
processed; however, some floors may require
additional support. Contact an architect or struc-
tural 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 dis-
tances between machines and obstacles that
allow safe operation of every machine without lim-
itation. 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 extension
cords are not obstructing high-traffic areas. Be
sure to 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. DO NOT allow
unsupervised children or
visitors in the shop at any
time.
