Clean Up Site Considerations
Unsupervised children
and visitors inside your
shop could receive seri-
ous personal injury.
Ensure child and visitor
safety by keeping all
entrances to the shop
locked at all times. DO
NOT allow unsupervised
children or visitors in the
shop at any time.
Unpainted surfaces may be coated with a waxy
oil to protect them from corrosion during ship-
ment. Remove this waxy oil with a solvent clean-
er or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s
G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some
parts may need to be removed. The machine
will operate best when the waxy oil is
removed from all moving and sliding parts.
Chlorine-based cleaners and solvents will dam-
age the painted surfaces of the machine. Follow
the manufacturer’s instructions when using any
type of cleaning product.
Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and could explode
if used to clean machin-
ery. DO NOT use gaso-
line or petroleum prod-
ucts to clean the machin-
ery.
Smoking near solvents
could ignite an explosion
or fire and cause serious
injury. DO NOT smoke
while using solvents.
Lack of ventilation while
using solvents could
cause serious personal
health risks, fire, or
environmental hazards.
Always work in a well
ventilated area to pre-
vent the accumulation
of dangerous fumes.
Supply the work area
with a constant source
of fresh air.
Weight Load
The Model G0518 is a medium weight load with a
small footprint. Most shop floors should be suffi-
cient to carry the weight of the machine. Reinforce
the floor if you question its ability to support the
weight.
Working Clearance
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
and/or work tables. Also consider the relative
position of each machine to one another for effi-
cient material handling.
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
the amperage draw. Outlets should be located
near each machine so power or extension cords
are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe local elec-
trical codes for proper installation of new lighting,
outlets, or circuits.
