Site Considerations

Floor Load

Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight and footprint specifications of your machine. Some floors may require additional reinforcement to support both the machine and operator.

Working Clearances

Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when establishing a location for your new machine. See Figure 4 for the minimum working clearances.

Unsupervised children and visitors inside your shop could cause serious per- sonal injury to themselves. Lock all entrances to the shop when you are away and DO NOT allow unsupervised children or visitors in your shop at any time!

G1021X 15" Extreme Series Planer

Moving & Placing

Base Unit

This planer is a heavy machine with a ship- ping weight of 585 lbs. Serious personal injury may occur if safe mov- ing methods are not fol- lowed. To be safe, you will need assistance and power equipment when moving the shipping crate and removing the machine from the crate.

The cabinet stand on the Model G1021X is equipped with lifting bars (see Page 6) to lift and place the planer.

When lifting the planer with a forklift, place shop rags or cardboard between the forks and cabinet base so you do not scratch the paint.

Figure 5 shows an example of a planer being lifted using a forklift.
