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.
