Moving & Placing
Jointer
The Model G0495X is a heavy machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safe moving methods are not used. To be safe, get assistance and use power equipment to move the shipping crate and remove the machine from the crate.
The Model G0495X requires the use of lifting equipment such as a forklift, engine hoist, or boom crane. DO NOT try to lift the machine by hand.
To lift the jointer:
1.Unbolt the jointer from the pallet.
2.Wrap lifting straps around the lifting rods, as shown in Figure 9.

Mounting to Shop
Floor
Although not required, we recommend that you mount your new machine to the floor for increased stability and vibration dampening. Because this is an optional step and floor materials may vary, floor mounting hardware is not included. If you bolt your machine to the floor, it is necessary to level your machine with a precision level.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts (Figure 10) and anchor studs are two popular methods for anchor- ing an object to a concrete floor. We suggest you research the many options and methods for mounting your machine and choose the best that fits your specific application.
NOTICE
Anchor studs are stronger and more per- manent alternatives to lag shield anchors; however, they will stick out of the floor, which may cause a tripping hazard if you decide to move your machine.
