IV. UNPACKING

The Model G1024 Shaper is shipped from the factory in heavy-duty cardboard packaging. Carefully remove the cardboard box by cutting through the box at its base. The top of the box can then be lift- ed off and set aside while you make your inspection of the machine. You can use the box, turned upside down, as a receptacle for other packing materials as you prepare to set up the shaper.

If you find the machine is 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 pack- ing 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 situation, please call us.

Caution: The shaper weighs a hefty 155 pounds in its packaging. DO NOT over-exert yourself while unpacking or moving this machine. Use a heavy-duty hand truck whenever possible while moving the shaper. If it has to be moved up or down a flight of stairs, be sure the staircase is capable of sup- porting the combined weight of you and the shaper. Always get plenty of assistance when attempt- ing to move the Model G1024.
