Moving & Placing
Jointer
The Model G0609 is an extremely heavy machine. Serious per- sonal injury may occur if safe moving methods are not followed. To be safe, you will need assistance and power equipment when moving the ship- ping crate and remov- ing the machine from the crate.
The Model G0609 requires the use of lifting equipment such as a forklift, engine hoist, or boom crane. DO NOT lift the machine by hand.
If you are unsure how to lift this jointer, consult a qualified professional.
To lift the jointer:
1.Wrap lifting straps around the infeed and outfeed tables. Position the straps as close to the base as possible to prevent damaging the tables.
2.With lifting straps positioned evenly, lift the jointer (Figure 6) off of the pallet and onto the floor.

Mounting to Shop
Floor
Although not required, we recommend that you mount your new machine to the floor. Because this is an optional step and floor materials may vary, floor mounting hardware is not included. Generally, you can either bolt your machine to the floor or mount it on machine mounts. Both options are described below. Whichever option you choose, it is necessary to level your machine with a precision level.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts (Figure 7) and anchor studs are two popular methods for anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We sug- gest 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.
