Site Considerations
FLOOR LOAD
Your Model G1182 series jointer represents a
moderate weight load in a small footprint. Most
commercial or home shop floors should be suffi-
cient to carry the weight. If you question the
strength of your floor, you may wish to check with
an architect or structural engineer in your area to
make certain it can handle the load.
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.
Clean Up
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil
to protect it 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 as they may damage painted surfaces
should they come in contact. Always follow the
usage instructions on the product you choose for
clean up.
Many of the solvents commonly used to
clean machinery can be toxic when inhaled
or ingested. Always work in well-ventilated
areas far from potential ignition sources
when dealing with solvents. Use care when
disposing of waste rags and towels to be
sure they do not create fire or environmen-
tal hazards. Keep children and animals
safely away when cleaning and assembling
this machine.
Do not smoke while using
solvents. A risk of explo-
sion or fire exists and may
be the result serious per-
sonal injury may occur.
Make your shop “child
safe.” Ensure that your
workplace is inaccessible
to youngsters by closing
and locking all entrances
when you are away. Never
allow visitors in your shop
when assembling, adjust-
ing or operating equip-
ment.
Do not use gasoline or
other petroleum-based
solvents. They have low
flash points which make
them extremely flamma-
ble. A risk of explosion
and burning exists if
these products are
used. Serious personal
injury may occur if this
warning is ignored.
