-8- G1148 15" Bandsaw
Unpacking
The bandsaw is shipped from the factory 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 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 situa-
tion, please call us.
Piece Inventory
With all the parts removed from the container, you
should have:
• Bandsaw Unit with Blade
• Motor
• Stand Parts
• Fasteners
• Miter Gauge
• Table and Mounting Bracket
• Fence Assembly
• Belt
If anything is missing, call or write to the appro-
priate regional service department listed in the
General Information section. If anything is dam-
aged, please follow the procedures described to
the left.
The following list details the fasteners needed to
assemble the Model G1148. In the rare event that
any standard hardware is missing (e.g., a nut or
bolt), we would be happy to replace it, but it would
probably be quicker and less expensive if you
were to buy replacements from your local hard-
ware store.
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.

FASTENERS
When you are completely satisfied with the con-
dition of your shipment, you should inventory its
parts.
The G1148 is a very heavy machine (175 lbs.
shipping weight). DO NOT over-exert your-
self while unpacking or moving your
machine – get assistance. In the event that
your machine 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 person-
al injury may occur.
