Moving & Placing Jointer; Mounting To Shop Floor - Grizzly G0609 Owner's Manual

Moving & Placing
Jointer
The Model G0609 is
an
machine. Serious per-
sonal injury may occur if
safe moving methods are
not followed. To be safe,
you will need assistance
and power equipment
when moving the ship-
ping crate and remov-
ing the machine from the
crate.
The Model G0609 requires the use of lifting
equipment such as a forklift, engine hoist, or
boom crane. DO NOT lift the machine by hand.
If you are unsure how to lift this jointer, consult a
qualified professional.
To lift the jointer:
1.
Wrap lifting straps around the infeed and
outfeed tables. Position the straps as close
to the base as possible to prevent damaging
the tables.
2.
With lifting straps positioned evenly, lift the
jointer (Figure 6) off of the pallet and onto
the floor.

Mounting to Shop
Floor
Although not required, we recommend that you
mount your new machine to the floor. Because
this is an optional step and floor materials may
vary, floor mounting hardware is not included.
Generally, you can either bolt your machine to
the floor or mount it on machine mounts. Both
options are described below. Whichever option
you choose, it is necessary to level your machine
with a precision level.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts (Figure 7)
and anchor studs are two popular methods for
anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We sug-
gest you research the many options and methods
for mounting your machine and choose the best
that fits your specific application.

NOTICE
Anchor studs are stronger and more per-
manent alternatives to lag shield anchors;
however, they will stick out of the floor,
which may cause a tripping hazard if you
decide to move your machine.
