Site Considerations

WORKBENCH LOAD

Your Model G7148 Slip Roll represents a relatively small weight load. However, the combined weight of materials and operating forces may be too much for light duty workbenches. Make sure your workbench is strong enough to handle the anticipated weight of materials and operating forces required to manipulate those materials.

WORKING CLEARANCES

Working clearances can be thought of as the distances 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 relative position of each machine to one another for efficient material handling. Be sure to allow yourself sufficient room to safely operate your machines in any foreseeable operation.

LIGHTING AND OUTLETS

Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.

Make your shop “child safe.” Ensure that your workplace is inaccessible to children by closing and locking all entrances when you are away. Never allow visitors in your area when assembling, adjusting or operating equipment.

Unpacking

If you discover the slip roll is damaged after you’ve signed for delivery, and the truck and driver are gone, you will need to file a freight claim with the carrier. Save the containers and all packing materials for possible inspection by the carrier or its agent. Without the packing materials, fil-

ing a freight claim can be difficult. If you need

assistance determining whether you need to file a freight claim, or with the procedure to file one, please contact our Customer Service.

Cleaning

The slip roll is covered with a protective grease for shipping purposes. Clean this with a non-solvent cleaner such as the Model G7895 Citrus Degreaser in the Grizzly catalog.

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 burning exists if these products are used. Serious personal injury may occur.
