Grizzly G1011Z - Manual (Page 8)

G1011 7" x 12'' Bandsaw -7-
Unpacking
The bandsaw is shipped from the factory in a
carefully packed crate. 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.
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.
When you are completely satisfied with the con-
dition of your shipment, you should inventory its
parts.
The G1011Z is a very heavy machine (626
lbs. shipping weight). DO NOT over-exert
yourself 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 per-
sonal injury may occur.
Clean Up
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy
oil to protect them from corrosion during ship-
ment. Remove this protective coating with a
solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. Avoid
chlorine-based solvents as they may damage
painted surfaces should they come in contact.
Always follow the usage instructions on the prod-
uct you choose for clean up.
Many of the solvents commonly used to
clean machinery can be highly flamma-
ble, and toxic when inhaled or ingested.
Always work in well-ventilated areas far
from potential ignition sources when deal-
ing with solvents. Use care when dispos-
ing of waste rags and towels to be sure
they do not create fire or environmental
hazards. Keep children and animals safely
away when cleaning and assembling this
machine.
Do not use gasoline or other petroleum-
based solvents to remove this protective
coating. These products generally have low
flash points which makes them extremely
flammable. A risk of explosion and burning
exists if these products are used. Serious
personal injury may occur.
All die-cut metal parts have a sharp edge
(called “flashing”) on them after they are
formed. This is generally removed at the
factory. Sometimes a bit of flashing might
escape inspection, and the sharp edge may
cause cuts or lacerations when handled.
Please examine the edges of all die-cut
metal parts and file or sand the edge to
remove the flashing before handling.
