PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP

This machine should be installed and operated only on a

solid, flat and stable floor that is able to support the weight

of the molder and the operator. Using the dimensions

shown as a guideline, plan for placement within your

shop that will allow the operator to work unencumbered

and unobstructed by foot traffic (either passing shop visi-

tors or other shop workers) or other tools or machinery.

ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE

For shops with frequent visitors or multiple operators, it is

advisable to establish a safety zone around shop machi-

nery. A clearly defined “no-go” zone on the floor around

each machine can help avoid accidents that could

cause injury to either the operator or the shop vi-sitor. It is

advisable to take a few moments to either paint (using

non-slip paint) or using tape, define on the floor the limits or perimeter of each machines safety zone. Take steps to

ensure that all operators and shop visitors are aware that these areas are off limits whenever a machine is running

for everyone but the individual operating the unit.

Tip: To prevent rust, apply a light coating of paste wax

or use regular applications of any after-market surface

protectant or rust inhibitor.

The protective coating on the table, prevents rust from

forming during shipping and storage. Remove it by rub-

bing with a rag dipped in kerosene, mineral spirits or paint

thinner.

Important: Dispose of potentially flammable solvent-soaked

rags according to manfacturer’s safety recommendations.

A putty knife, held flat to avoid scratching the surface, may

also be used to scrape off the coating followed by clean-up

with solvent.

Note: Avoid rubbing the molder’s painted surfaces, as many sol-

vent-based products will remove paint.
