Figure 8. Minimum working clearances.
Floor Load
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight
and footprint specifications of your machine.
Some floors may require additional reinforcement
t
o support both the machine and operator.
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 new machine. See Figure 8 for the minimum
w
orking clearances.
Unsupervised children and
visitors inside your shop
could cause serious per-
s
onal injury to themselves.
Lock all entrances to the
shop when you are away and
DO NOT allow unsupervised
children or visitors in your
shop at any time!
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy
oil to protect them from corrosion during ship-
m
ent. Remove this protective coating with a sol-
v
ent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as
Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly,
some parts may need to be removed. For opti-
m
um performance from your machine, make
sure you clean all moving parts or sliding
contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlo-
r
ine-based solvents, such as acetone or brake
parts cleaner, as they will damage painted sur-
f
aces should they come in contact. Always follow
the manufacturer’s instructions when using any
type of cleaning product.
Site ConsiderationsCleanup
Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and could cause
an explosion or fire if
used to clean machinery.
DO NOT use gasoline or
petroleum products to
clean the machinery.
Many of the solvents
commonly used to clean
machinery can be toxic
when inhaled or ingest-
e
d. Lack of ventilation
while using these sol-
v
ents could cause seri-
ous
personal health risks
or fire. Take precautions
from this hazard by only
using cleaning solvents
in a well ventilated area.
