Site Considerations
Floor Load
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight
and footprint specifications of your machine. Some
shop floors may require additional reinforcement
to support both the machine and operator.
Working Clearance
Working clearances can be thought of as the
distances between machines and obstacles that
allow safe operation of every machine without
limitation. Refer to the
Machine Data Sheet for
the dimensions of your machine. Consider exist-
ing and anticipated machine needs, size of mate-
rial 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 efficient material handling. Be
sure to allow yourself sufficient room to safely
run your machines in any foreseeable operation
and keep dust collection hoses off the floor and
out of the way.
Lighting
Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate
shadows and prevent eye strain. Electrical cir-
cuits should be dedicated or large enough to
handle combined motor amp loads. Be sure to
observe local electrical codes for proper installa-
tion of new lighting or circuits.
Unsupervised children and
visitors entering a shop
could suffer serious per-
sonal injury. Ensure child
and visitor safety by keep-
ing all entrances to the
shop locked at all times.
DO NOT allow unsuper-
vised children or visitors
in the shop at any time.
Clean Up
Any unpainted surfaces like the upper drums are
coated with a waxy oil to protect them from cor-
rosion during shipment. Remove this protective
coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based
degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser.
To clean thoroughly, some parts may need to
be removed.
For optimum performance from
your machine, make sure you clean all mov-
ing parts or sliding contact surfaces that are
coated. Avoid chlorine-based solvents as they
may damage painted surfaces should they come
in contact.
Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and could explode
if used to clean machin-
ery. DO NOT use gasoline
or petroleum products to
clean the machinery.
Lack of ventilation while
using solvents could
cause serious person-
al health risks, fire, or
environmental hazards.
Always work in a well
ventilated area to pre-
vent the accumulation
of dangerous fumes.
Supply the work area
with a constant source
of fresh air.
