Clean Up; Site Considerations - Grizzly G4015Z Owner's Manual

Clean Up

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, like
Grizzly's G7895 Citrus Engine Degreaser. Avoid
chlorine-based solvents as they may damage
painted surfaces should they come in contact.
Always follow the usage instructions on the prod-
uct you choose for clean up.
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.

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

Site Considerations

FLOOR AND WORKBENCH LOAD
Your Model G4015Z represents a large weight
load in a 18" x 36 3 ⁄ " footprint. Most commercial or
4
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 opera-
tors. If you question the strength of your floor, you
should consider having it inspected for possible
reinforcement. The workbench the machine rests
on should be strong and stable enough to hold
the weight of the machine and the workpiece to
be turned.
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.
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
amperage requirements. Outlets should be locat-
ed 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.
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 equipment.
