G1182 6" Heavy-Duty Jointer
VI. CLEAN UP
The beds and other unpainted parts of the Model
G1182 are coated with a waxy oil that protects
them from corrosion during shipment. Remove
the protective coating with mineral spirits and
paper towels.
VII. SITE CONSIDERATIONS
1.
Floor Load: Your G1182 6'' Jointer repre-
sents a large weight load in a small footprint.
Most commercial floors are suitable for the
Model G1182. Some residential floors may
require additional build up to support both
machine and operator.
2.
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 loca-
tion for your jointer.
3.
Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be
bright enough to eliminate shadow and pre-
vent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be
dedicated or large enough to handle amper-
age requirements. Outlets should be located
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.
Follow the safety rules listed below when
working with solvents:
1.
Read and follow all directions and
warnings on the solvent label.
2.
Work only in a well ventilated area.
3.
Do not work near any type of open
flame (e.g.,
pilot lights,
kerosene
heaters, and so on).
4.
DO NOT smoke while working with
flammable material.
5.
Paper towels from the cleaning process
are extremely combustible. Dispose of
waste towels so they do not create a
fire hazard.
For the sake of your own health and the
environment, please make sure that towels
and rags used to clean this machine are dis-
posed of properly.
If you are unsure about the quality or condi-
tion of the circuit you plan on using for this
machine,
have a qualified electrician
inspect and repair the circuit. Always make
sure that your jointer is properly grounded.
Failure to do so could result in serious elec-
trical shock hazard and/or mechanical dam-
age.
Do not use gasoline or other petroleum
based solvents because of their extremely
low flash points. Do not use chlorine-based
solvents – if you happen to splash some
onto a painted surface, you’ll ruin the fin-
ish.
