Moving & Placing
Machine
The Model G0641 is a heavy machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safe moving methods are not used. To be safe, get assistance and use a forklift rated for 1500 lbs. to move the shipping crate and remove the machine from the crate.
Lifting hex bolts are included with your saw so that you can raise the machine from the shipping pal- let far enough to insert forklift forks for moving.
To move the machine:
1.Remove the top wooden crate from the machine and shipping pallet.
2.Remove the four lag bolts and washers securing the machine to the pallet.
DO NOT lift the machine any higher than necessary to clear the pallet and the floor. Serious personal injury and damage to the machine may occur if safe moving methods are not followed.
3.Use a 24mm wrench to thread the four spe- cial

4.Evenly tighten the four lifting hex bolts to raise the machine up from the pallet far enough to insert forklift forks under the machine, then tighten the jam nuts down to the mounting flange to lock the lifting bolts in place.
5.Spread the forklift forks as far as possible and insert them under the machine.
6.With assistance to steady the load, slowly lift the machine from the pallet and move it to your prepared location.
Note: Place a precision level on the table and shim under the machine as necessary to make it level. Take care to shim any gaps between the mounting flanges and the floor before tightening the lag bolts to prevent the cast iron cabinet from warping or cracking.
