Unpacking

The Combination Sander is shipped from the fac- tory in a carefully packed carton. 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 mate- rials for inspection by the carrier or their agent. Without the packing materials, filing a freight claim can be difficult. If you need advice regard- ing this situation, please call us.

The G1183/1276 is a fairly heavy machine (155 lbs.). DO NOT over-exert yourself while unpacking or moving your machine – get assistance. In the event that your Combination Sander 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 personal injury may occur.

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

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.

With all the parts removed from the container, you should have components as listed below and shown in Figure 3:

NOTICE

Ensure that the Model G1183/G1276 is located on a flat, level surface. This will maximize the stability of the machine and ensure that adjustments are accurate. For conditions where permanent mounting is possible, we recommend bolting the Combination Sander to your bench top or work table. This type of mounting will mini- mize vibration and provide a more stable work environment.
