G0641 Double Miter Saw
Moving & Placing
Machine
The Model G0641 is a
heavy machine. Serious
personal injury may occur
if safe moving methods
are not used. To be safe,
get assistance and use
a forklift rated for 1500
lbs. to move the shipping
crate and remove the
machine from the crate.
Lifting hex bolts are included with your saw so that
you can raise the machine from the shipping pal-
let far enough to insert forklift forks for moving.
To move the machine:
1. Remove the top wooden crate from the
machine and shipping pallet.
2. Remove the four lag bolts and washers
securing the machine to the pallet.
4. Evenly tighten the four lifting hex bolts to raise
the machine up from the pallet far enough to
insert forklift forks under the machine, then
tighten the jam nuts down to the mounting
flange to lock the lifting bolts in place.
5. Spread the forklift forks as far as possible and
insert them under the machine.
6. With assistance to steady the load, slowly lift
the machine from the pallet and move it to
your prepared location.
Note: Place a precision level on the table
and shim under the machine as necessary
to make it level. Take care to shim any gaps
between the mounting flanges and the floor
before tightening the lag bolts to prevent the
cast iron cabinet from warping or cracking.

DO NOT lift the machine any higher than

Serious personal injury and damage to the
machine may occur if safe moving methods
are not followed.
3. Use a 24mm wrench to thread the four spe-
cial 5/8-11 x 2 3 ⁄
8
" hex bolts into the machine
mounting flanges (see Figure 6).
