Clean up Site Considerations
1. Floor Load: Your Model G1073/G1073Z 16''
Bandsaw represents a large weight load in a
small footprint. Most commercial floors are
suitable for the Model G1073/G1073Z. Some
residential floors may require additional build
up to support both machine and operator.
2. 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 loca-
tion for your bandsaw.
3. Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be
bright enough to eliminate shadow and pre-
vent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be
dedicated or large enough to handle amper-
age requirements. Outlets should be located
near each machine so power or extension
cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe
local electrical codes for proper installation
of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
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 citrus-based degreaser such as
Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. Avoid chlorine-
based solvents as they may damage painted
surfaces should they come in contact. Always
follow the usage instructions on the product you
choose for clean up.
Do not use gasoline or
other petroleum-based
solvents to clean with.
They have a low flash
point which makes them
extremely flammable. A
risk of explosion and
burning exists if these
products are used.
Serious personal injury
may occur.
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
equipment.
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.
