Grizzly G8692 Saw User Manual


 
-12- G8692 Portable Bandsaw and Stand
1. Workbench Load: The Model G8692
weighs 38 lbs and has a footprint of 10" x 18-
1
2". Most workbenches are suitable for your
machine. If you are unsure that your work-
bench could support the weight of the
machine, additional build up to support the
machine may be required.
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.
Unsupervised children and
visitors inside your shop
could cause serious person-
al 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-
ment. Remove this protective coating with a sol-
vent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as
Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly,
some parts may need to be removed. For opti-
mum performance from your machine, make
sure you clean all moving parts or sliding
contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlo-
rine-based solvents as they may damage painted
surfaces should they come in contact. Always fol-
low the manufacturer’s instructions when using
any type of cleaning product.
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.
Smoking near solvents
could ignite an explosion
or fire and cause serious
injury. DO NOT smoke
while using solvents.
Many of the solvents
commonly used to clean
machinery can be toxic
when inhaled or ingest-
ed. Lack of ventilation
while using these sol-
vents could cause seri-
ous personal health risks
or fire. Take precautions
from this hazard by only
using cleaning solvents
in a well ventilated area.
