Site Considerations
WORKING CLEARANCES
Working clearances can be thought of as the dis-
tances between machines and obstacles that
allow safe operation of every machine without
limitation. 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 rel-
ative position of each machine to one another for
efficient material handling. Be sure to allow your-
self 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 exten-
sion cords are not obstructing high-traffic areas.
Be sure to observe local electrical codes for prop-
er installation of new lighting, outlets or circuits.
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.
Clean Up
The unpainted surfaces may be 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. To clean thor-
oughly, some parts may need to be removed.
Avoid chlorine-based solvents as they may dam-
age painted surfaces should they come in con-
tact. Always follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions when using any type of cleaning product.
Do not use gasoline or
other petroleum-based
solvents to clean with.
They have low flash
points which make them
extremely flammable. 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.
