manual abstract
The time you spend doing this will reward you with smooth sliding parts and a better appreciation for the proper care of your machine's unpainted surfaces. Although there are many ways to successfully remove the rust preventative, these instructions walk you through what works well for us. Before cleaning, gather the following: • Disposable Rags • Cleaner/degreaser (Figure 8) • Safety glasses & disposable gloves H9692—Orange Power Cleaner & Degreaser One of the best cleaners we've found for quickly and easily removing rust preventative. HO UîidMâi1 Figure 8. Model H9692 Industrial Orange Power Cleaner/Degreaser (99.9% biodegradable). Note: In a pinch, automotive degreasers, mineral spirits or WD*40 can be used to remove rust preventative. Before using these products, though, test them on an unnoticeable area of your paint to make sure they will not damage it. ▲WARNING Gasoline and petroleum products have low flash points and can explode or cause fire if used to clean machinery. Avoid using these products to clean machinery. ▲CAUTION Many cleaning solvents are toxic if inhaled. Minimize your risk by only using these products in a well ventilated area. NOTICE Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as acetone or brake parts cleaner that may damage painted surfaces. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using any type of cleaning product. Basic steps for removing Rust preventative: 1. Put on safety glasses and disposable gloves. 2. Coat all surfaces that have rust preventative with a liberal amount of your cleaner/ degreaser and let them soak for few minutes. 3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/ degreaser is effective, the rust preventative will wipe off easily. Note: To clean off thick coats of rust preventative on flat surfaces, such as tables, use a PLASTIC paint scraper to scrape off the majority of the coating before wiping it off with your rag. (Do not use a metal scraper or you may scratch your machine.) 4. Repeat Steps 2-3 as necessary until clean, then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality metal protectant to prevent rust. -16- Model G0568/G0569 (Mfg. 10/04+) Site Considerations Physical Environment Operate this machine in a dry environment that is free from moisture, hazardous chemicals, or airborne abrasives or contaminants. Avoid using this machine where the ambient temperature range exceeds 41°-104°F or the relative humidity range exceeds 20-95% (noncondensing). Also, do not use this machine in an evironment that is subject to vibration, shocks, or bumps. Electrical Installation Place this machine near an existing power source. Make sure all power cords are protected from traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals, or other hazards. Make sure to leave access to a means of disconnecting the power source or engaging a lockout/tagout device. Lighting Lighting around the machine must be adequate enough that operations can be performed safely. Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract or impede the operator must be eliminated. Model G0568/G0569 (Mfg. 10/04+) -17- Weight Load Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon which the machine is placed will bear the weight of the machine, additional equipment that may be installed on the machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will be used. Additionally, consider the weight of the operator and any dynamic loading that may occur when operating the machine. Space Allocation Consider the largest size of workpiece that will be processed through this machine and provide enough space around the machine for adequate operator material handling or the installation of auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations, leave enough space around the machine to open or remove doors/covers as required by the maintenance and service described in this manual. See Figure 9 for minimum working clearances. Acaution Children or untrained people may be seriously injured by this machine. Only install in an access restricted location. Moving & Placing Base Unit AWARNING This is an extremely heavy machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safe moving methods are not followed. To be safe, you will need assistance and a forklift or a hoist when removing the machine from the crate. Use a chain or a lifting strap with a minimum of 1,000 lbs. lifting capacity. If the chain or lifting strap breaks, serious personal injury may occur. Take special care when moving this bandsaw. Only use the following methods to lift or move this bandsaw. To move and place the bandsaw using the eye bolts: 1. Unbolt the bandsaw from the pallet. 2. Install the eye bolts shown in Figure 10, making sure they are threaded all the way in, then place the lifting hooks through the eye bolts and lift slowly with a forklift. 3. Remove the pallet and slowly set the bandsaw into position. To move and place the bandsaw using wood shims: 1. Carefully place the forklift forks under ...
