Shop Preparation
•
Floor Load:
Your Model W1684 represents a
large weight load in a small footprint. While
most commercial floors are suitable for this
jointer, some residential floors may require
additional bracing to support both machine
and operator.
•
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 location for
your machine.
•
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 locat-
ed near each machine so power or exten-
sion cords are clear of high-traffic areas.
Observe local electrical codes for proper
installation of new lighting, outlets, or cir-
cuits.
Cleaning Machine
The table and other unpainted parts of the
Model W1684 are coated with a waxy grease that
protects them from corrosion during shipment.
For optimum performance from your machine,
make sure you clean all moving parts or sliding
contact surfaces that are coated.
Clean this
grease off with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based
degreaser. DO NOT use chlorine-based solvents—
if you happen to splash some onto a painted sur-
face, you will ruin the finish.
Always make sure that all
entrances to your shop are
locked or that machines
are equipped with safety
lock-out devices to protect
curious children or visitors
from serious injury. Never
allow unsupervised people
in your shop who have not
been fully trained!
Never use flammables
such as gas or other petro-
leum-based solvents to
clean your machine.
These products have low
flash points and present
the risk of explosion and
severe personal injury!
Never smoke while using
any cleaning solvents.
Smoking may cause explo-
sion or risk of fire when
exposed to these products!
Most solvents used to
clean machinery are
toxic when inhaled or
ingested. Always work in
a well ventilated area
when using these prod-
ucts and keep away from
any potential ignition
sources (pilot lights).
Always dispose of any
waste rags in a ANSI
approved container to
make sure they do not
cause fire hazards.
