Unpacking
The bandsaw is shipped from the factory in a carefully packed carton. If you find the machine to be damaged after you’ve signed for delivery and the truck and driver are already gone, you will need to file a freight claim with the carrier. Save the containers and all packing materials for inspection by the carrier or their agent. Without the packing materials, filing a freight claim can be difficult. If you need advice regarding this situa- tion, please call us immediately.
When you are completely satisfied with the con- dition of your shipment, you should inventory its parts.
The G1258 is a very heavy machine with a shipping weight of 650 lbs. DO NOT over- exert yourself while unpacking or moving your machine – get assistance. In the event that your bandsaw must be moved up or down a flight of stairs, be sure that the stairs are capable of supporting the com- bined weight of people and the machine. Serious personal injury may occur.
Save all containers and packing materials until you are satisfied that your bandsaw has arrived in good condition. Freight com- pany adjusters will want to inspect those materials in the event that a freight claim must be made.
Parts Inventory
Take a quick inventory of the parts and put them aside for assembly later. After all the parts have been removed from the container, you should have:
•Bandsaw Assembly
•Fence Assembly
•Hardware
•Miter Gauge
Now is a good time to inventory the fasteners required for assembly. We would like to point out that the quantities given here are the minimum needed to do the job; it is possible that there will be some extra parts. On the other hand, it is also possible that there may be one or two items miss- ing. If so, you are welcome to call us. We will ship them to you. For the sake of expediency, you may find it more convenient, though, to replace any miscellaneous fasteners at your local hard- ware store. Fasteners include:
