DAMAGE CLAIM PROCEDURES
VISIBLE DAMAGE AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY:
1. Note damage on carrier’s delivery receipt. Accept the shipment. It can be returned later if repairs
are not possible in the field.
2. Request a “damage inspection” from the delivery carrier:
a. The carrier will send his own people or contract an independent agency to make the in-
spection.
b. The inspector will request a signature on the report and leave a copy.
c. The carrier “damage inspection” report is not final. If additional damage is found when
repairs are started, contact the carrier for another inspection; or at least give them the
details of the damage.
3. Do not move the equipment from the receiving area and keep all shipping materials until carrier
“damage inspection” report is complete.
4. If possible, take photographs of the damage and keep them for your files. Photos could possibly
prove a claim at a later time.
5. Keep a record of all expenses and be sure they are documented.
6. Repair damage in the field whenever possible. Carriers encourage this to keep expenses down.
7. You have nine (9) months to file a claim.
1. You have fourteen (14) days to report damage not noted at time of delivery.
a. Report damage as soon as possible. This makes it easier to prove that it did not happen at
cosignee’s plant.
b. Inspect machine(s) carefully before moving from the receiving area. Again, if machine is
not moved, it is easier to prove your case.
2. Request a “damage inspection” from the delivery carrier:
a. The carrier will send his own people or contract an independent agency to make the in-
spection.
b. The inspector will request a signature on the report and leave a copy.

SAW BAND PREPARATION
Recommended Saw Band
1. Saw bands recommended for use on this machine
should be 166 inches (4216.4 mm) long, 1.25 inches
(31.7 mm) wide, and have a 0.042 inch (1.07 mm)
gage thickness.
Blade Guards
1. The following blade guards are positioned to provide
operator safety while the machine is running: (a) A
top guard located between the upper parts of the
bandwheel doors; (b) Guards mounted between the
left saw guide arm and the left bandwheel door; (c)
A guard between the right saw guide arm and the
right bandwheel door. If desirable but not neces-
sary, blade guards (b) and (c) can be removed to
help facilitate saw band changing procedures.
