This machine is shipped from the manufacturer in
a carefully packed carton. If you discover the
machine is damaged after you’ve signed for deliv­ery, and the truck and driver are gone, you will
need to file a freight claim with the carrier. Save
the containers and all packing materials for pos­sible inspection by the carrier or its agent.
Without the packing materials, filing a freight

claim can be difficult. If you need assistance

determining whether you need to file a freight
claim, or with the procedure to file one, please

The G4011 is a heavy machine (355 lbs.
shipping weight). DO NOT over-exert your­self while unpacking or moving your
machine – get assistance. In the event that
your machine must be moved up or down a
flight of stairs, be sure that the stairs are
capable of supporting the combined weight
of people and the machine. Serious per­sonal injury may occur.

This machine should be mounted to a
stand or workbench with the appropriate
fasteners before using. Forming metal will
require exerting force through the handle

machine could topple and cause injury.

When you are completely satisfied with the con­dition of your shipment, you should carefully
unpack the box.

When unpacking, there are two bolts which are
used to secure the machine to its shipping crate.
Remove these bolts and save them for use when
mounting the machine to your workbench.
