dures on the Model

 

G9984/G9985. Failure to

 

do this may result in seri-

 

ous personal injury.

Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

Wear safety glasses dur- ing the entire assembly process. Failure to com- ply may result in serious personal injury.

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.

Beginning Assembly

Most of your Model G9984/G9985 has been assembled at the factory, but some parts must be assembled or installed after delivery.

TOOLS REQUIRED: You will need a small adjustable wrench, a flat and Phillips head screw- driver, and a machinist’s square.

Rubber Feet

Four rubber feet are furnished to help absorb machine vibration, to even out imperfections in the floor, and to protect the machine from general stress. To install the rubber feet:

1.Thread the end of the rubber feet into the threaded holes on the underside of the base supports as shown in Figure 6.

2.Do not overtighten the feet. Cast iron threads are softer than the steel threads on the feet. Overtightening can cause the cast iron threads to become stripped.
