Introduction.1 - Grizzly G1538 Instruction Manual

I. INTRODUCTION
Thank you very much for your purchase!
Before introducing you to the equipment, there are a few things we would like to share with you:
First, we sincerely appreciate your business. For those of you who have purchased from us
before, you know well of our commitment to customer service and value. If this is your first
purchase from us, you can count on our very best effort to earn your future purchases of shop
tools, supplies, and accessories.
Second, we want you to know that at Grizzly imports, when we say we listen to our customers, that
is not merely a slogan, we truly mean it. The manual you presently have in hand is one example of
this commitment.
You see, we have observed - as have our customers - that even though our quality of
merchandise was very high, the documentation frequently left something to be desired owing, of
course, to language and cultural differences. Any of you who have previously purchased
imported machinery before have, no doubt, been victims of this problem! At Grizzly, we have
made up our minds to do something about it.
Some time ago, we set out on a five-year plan to upgrade our technical documentation. The idea
was to prepare technical literature that was complete, correct, helpful, and written in "American"
for ease of understanding. The goal was to cover our most popular tools and machines first, then
eventually cover our entire product line. This manual is an example of this "first generation."
Thirdly, we need your help. Do you see any errors in this manual? Is there something that we
could have done a better job on? The Bear tries hard to please - he really does! - but he is not
perfect. He also welcomes critique on how to make this, and similar manuals, more useful and
informative. If you see a place where we could do better, please contact us as follows:

Please indicate, when you write, the manual and machine your are commenting on, the model
number of the equipment you own, and a write-up of what you have in mind. Include drawings
and/or sketches if appropriate, or alternately, remove pages from this manual and mark them up.
We will, of course, replace them with a new manual.
Thank you again for your business. Now let's check out your new bandsaw!
