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.

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.
