Clean up
Site Considerations
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. Avoid chlorine-based
solvents because they may damage painted sur-
faces should they come in contact. Always follow
the usage instructions on the product you choose
to clean.
FLOOR LOAD
Your Model G1019 Bandsaw represents a moder-
ately large weight load in a small footprint. Most
commercial or home shop floors should be suffi-
cient to carry the weight of the Model G1019. If
you question the strength of your floor, you can
opt to reinforce it.
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
and/or work tables. Also consider the relative
position of each machine to one another for effi-
cient 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.
Do not use gasoline or
other petroleum-based
solvents to clean with.
They have low flash
points which makes
them extremely flamma-
ble. A risk of explosion
and burning exists if
these products are
used. Serious personal
injury may occur.
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.
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 or operating equip-
ment.
