Grizzly G1011Z instruction manual Unpacking Clean Up

Unpacking Clean Up

The bandsaw is shipped from the factory in a carefully packed crate. 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.

The G1011Z is a very heavy machine (626 lbs. shipping weight). DO NOT over-exert yourself while unpacking or moving your machine – get assistance. In the event that your machine must be moved up or down a flight of stairs, be sure that the stairs are capable of supporting the combined weight of people and the machine. Serious per- sonal injury may occur.

NOTICE

Please keep all packaging materials until you are satisfied that the machine is in good condition. Should you need to file a freight claim, the carrier’s agent will require inspection of those materials. Settling a claim can be difficult if packaging is not available.

When you are completely satisfied with the con- dition of your shipment, you should inventory its parts.

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect them from corrosion during ship- ment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. Avoid chlorine-based solvents as they may damage painted surfaces should they come in contact. Always follow the usage instructions on the prod- uct you choose for clean up.

Many of the solvents commonly used to clean machinery can be highly flamma- ble, and toxic when inhaled or ingested. Always work in well-ventilated areas far from potential ignition sources when deal- ing with solvents. Use care when dispos- ing of waste rags and towels to be sure they do not create fire or environmental hazards. Keep children and animals safely away when cleaning and assembling this machine.

Do not use gasoline or other petroleum- based solvents to remove this protective coating. These products generally have low flash points which makes them extremely flammable. A risk of explosion and burning exists if these products are used. Serious personal injury may occur.

All die-cut metal parts have a sharp edge (called “flashing”) on them after they are formed. This is generally removed at the factory. Sometimes a bit of flashing might escape inspection, and the sharp edge may cause cuts or lacerations when handled. Please examine the edges of all die-cut metal parts and file or sand the edge to remove the flashing before handling.
