Site Considerations Notes
FLOOR LOAD
Your G1011Z Bandsaw represents a large weight
load in a small footprint. Most commercial or resi-
dential shop floors should be sufficient to carry the
weight of the machine. If you have any question
about the floor structure being able to support the
weight, contact your local city building inspector
or a qualified civil engineer or contractor.
WORKING CLEARANCES
Working clearances can be thought of as the
distances between machines and obstacles that
allow safe operation of every machine with-
out limitation. Consider existing and anticipated
machine needs, size of material to be processed
through each machine, and space for auxiliary
stands and/or work tables. Also consider the rela-
tive position of each machine to one another for
efficient material handling. Be sure to allow your-
self sufficient room to safely run your machines
in any foreseeable operation.
LIGHTING AND OUTLETS
Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate
shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits
should be dedicated or large enough to handle
combined motor amp loads. Outlets should be
located near each machine so power or exten-
sion cords are not obstructing high-traffic areas.
Be sure to observe local electrical codes for
proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or
circuits.
Make your shop “child safe”. Ensure that
your workplace is inaccessible to young-
sters by closing and locking all entrances
when you are away. Never allow visitors in
your shop when assembling, adjusting or
operating equipment.
