G9729 Combination Lathe/Mill
Floor and Workbench Load
Your Model G9729 weighs 525 lbs. Most com-
mercial or garage shop floors should be sufficient
to carry the weight. Before moving the Lathe/Mill
onto
a residential floor, inspect it carefully to
determine that it will be sufficient to carry the load
of the machine, the device for moving it and its
operators. The workbench the machine rests on
should be strong and stable enough to hold the
weight of the machine and the workpiece.
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 lathe/mill combo (see Figure 4)
.
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-
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-
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 may damage painted sur-
f
aces should they come in contact. Always follow
the manufacturer’s instructions when using any
type of cleaning product.
Site ConsiderationsClean Up
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.
