IV. SITE PLANNING

A. FLOOR LOAD
Your G1071 Sander represents a large weight
load in a small footprint. Most commercial
floors are suitable for the Model G1071. Some
residential floors may require additional build
up to support both machine and operator.
B. WORKING CLEARANCES
Working clearances can be thought of as the
distances between machines and obstacles
that allow safe operation of every machine
without limitation. Consider existing and antic-
ipated machine needs, size of material to be
processed through each machine, and space
for auxiliary stands and/or work tables. Also
consider the relative position of each machine
to one another for efficient material handling.
Be sure to allow yourself sufficient room to
safely run your machines IN ANY FORESEE-
ABLE OPERATION.
C. LIGHTING AND OUTLETS
Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate
shadows and prevent eye strain. Electrical cir-
cuits should be dedicated or large enough to
handle combined motor amperage loads.
Outlets should be located near each machine
so power or extension cords do not obstruct
high-traffic areas. Be sure to observe local
electrical codes for proper installation of new
lighting, outlets, or circuits.

V. UNPACKING
The sander is shipped from the factory in a
carefully-packed carton. 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 car-
rier or its agent. Without the packing materi-
als, filing a freight claim can be difficult. If you
need advice regarding this situation, please
contact us immediately.
The G1071 is a very heavy machine (300
lbs. shipping weight). DO NOT over-
exert yourself while unpacking or mov-
ing your machine – get assistance. In
the event that your sander must be
moved up or down a flight of stairs, be
sure that the stairs are capable of sup-
porting the combined weight of the
machine and the people moving it.
When you are completely satisfied with the
condition of your shipment, you should inven-
tory its parts.
