Working Clearances
Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of
material to be processed through your machine,
and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or
other machinery when establishing a location for
your saw. See
Figure 10 for the minimum work-
ing clearances of the Model G0588/G0591.
Site Considerations
Moving & Placing
Base Unit
The Model G0588/G0591
is a heavy machine with
a shipping weight over
1400 lbs. Serious per-
sonal injury may occur if
safe moving methods are
not followed. To be safe,
get assistance and use
power equipment when
moving the crate and
removing the machine
from the crate.
To remove the saw base unit from the crate
pallet:
1. Remove the top of the crate and position the
forklift forks together and directly above the
saw.
2. Place two lifting straps with hooks on the
ends over the forks and slide the hooks into
the points shown in
Figure 9.
Figure 9. Lifting the saw base unit.
3. Lift the saw base unit and move it to your
predetermined location.
DO NOT lift the table saw any higher than
necessary to clear the floor. Serious per-
sonal injury and damage to the machine
may occur if safe moving methods are not
followed.
Use lifting straps with a minimum of 1500
lbs. lifting capacity. If the lifting strap breaks,
serious personal injury may occur.
