SECTION 5: SET UP

Unpacking

The Grizzly 8" Jointers are shipped from the man- ufacturer in a carefully packed crate and a card- board box. If you discover the machine is dam- aged after you’ve signed for delivery, and the truck and driver are gone, you will need to file a freight claim with the carrier. Save the containers and all packing materials for possible inspection by the carrier or its agent. Without the packing materials, filing a freight claim can be difficult. If you need assistance determining whether you need to file a freight claim, or with the procedure to file one, please contact our Customer Service.

The 8" Jointer is a heavy machine at approximate- ly 460 lbs. shipping weight. DO NOT move the machine by yourself

– you will need assis- tance and power equip- ment. Serious personal injury may occur if safe moving methods are not followed.

Some metal parts may have sharp edges on them after they are formed. Please examine the edges of all metal parts before handling them. Failure to do so could result in injury.

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

Despite their solid build, they come with mobility features such as built-in wheels and handles, making it convenient to move them around the workshop or transport them to different job sites. The compact design fits well into smaller spaces without compromising on function.

Another notable characteristic is the availability of aftermarket accessories, which can enhance functionality further. Users can customize their G1018 models with additional attachments that increase their versatility, allowing them to tackle more complex tasks.
