G1258 20" Bandsaw -7-
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 immediately.
When you are completely satisfied with the con-
dition of your shipment, you should inventory its
parts.
The G1258 is a very heavy machine with a
shipping weight of 650 lbs. DO NOT over-
exert yourself while unpacking or moving
your machine – get assistance. In the event
that your bandsaw must be moved up or
down a flight of stairs, be sure that the
stairs are capable of supporting the com-
bined weight of people and the machine.
Serious personal injury may occur.
Parts Inventory
Save all containers and packing materials
until you are satisfied that your bandsaw
has arrived in good condition. Freight com-
pany adjusters will want to inspect those
materials in the event that a freight claim
must be made.
Take a quick inventory of the parts and put them
aside for assembly later. After all the parts have
been removed from the container, you should
have:
• Bandsaw Assembly
• Fence Assembly
• Hardware
• Miter Gauge
Now is a good time to inventory the fasteners
required for assembly. We would like to point out
that the quantities given here are the minimum
needed to do the job; it is possible that there will
be some extra parts. On the other hand, it is also
possible that there may be one or two items miss-
ing. If so, you are welcome to call us. We will ship
them to you. For the sake of expediency, you
may find it more convenient, though, to replace
any miscellaneous fasteners at your local hard-
ware store. Fasteners include:
