Cleaning Machine
The unpainted parts of your machine type are
coated with a shipping grease that protects
them from corrosion during shipment. This coat-
ing does its job well, but requires a little elbow
grease to remove.
The shipping grease can be cleaned off with a
solvent, petroleum or citrus-based degreaser.
DO NOT use chlorine-based solvents such as
brake parts cleaner or acetone—if you happen
to splash some onto a painted surface, you will
ruin the finish.
Here is one easy and popular method for clean-
ing the shipping grease: Soak the grease in
WD-40 ® or a similar product, wait five minutes,
scrape most of the grease off with a plastic
putty knife or other straight edge that won't
scratch the cast iron, re-soak, then wipe down
with a shop rag.
• Floor Load: This machine distributes a
heavy load in a small footprint. Some floors
may require additional bracing to support
both machine and operator.
• Working Clearances: Consider the following
when establishing a location for your
machine:
— Existing and anticipated needs
— Size of material to be processed
— Space for auxiliary stands, work tables or
other machinery
— Room to perform maintenance inside the
cabinet.
• Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough
to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.
• Electrical: Electrical circuits must be
dedicated or large enough to handle
amperage requirements. Outlets must be
located near each machine, so high-traffic
areas are clear of power cords. Follow local
electrical codes for proper installation of
new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
Machine Placement
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 untrained visitors in
your shop when assem-
bling, adjusting or operat-
ing equipment.
USE helpers or power
lifting equipment to lift
this machine. Otherwise,
serious personal injury
may occur.
NEVER use gasoline or
other petroleum-based
solvents to clean with.
Most 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
if this warning is ignored!
ALWAYS work in well-
ventilated areas far from
possible ignition sources
when using solvents to
clean machinery. Many
solvents are toxic when
inhaled or ingested. Use
care when disposing
of waste rags and
towels to be sure they
DO NOT create fire or
environmental hazards.
