Well, I would let MM know how that carrier delivered the saw. On it's side would be a big NO-NO! As stout as that machine's backbone is, I wouldn't think it would happen, but if it ended up on it's side because it fell, then it is possible the frame is bent. That would be a lot of weight come crashing down, I don't care how strong the frame is. Was this documented with the freight company? Did the driver say anything about it when he opened the back of the truck? Or did you pick it up at the terminal and that's how they brought it out to you? It would have been fine if it was laying down on it's backbone, table up in the air, motor out the side and braced to stay in that position. But that wouldn't have damaged the motor. Was the pallet strapped to the bottom of the base? For the others here with the bigger saws, were your's double palleted, mounted to the base, and shipped upright? That's how my E16 was shipped. Bolted to a small pallet, the that small pallet strapped to a bigger pallet, for a fork lift or pallet jack to get under, using the metal strapping bands to secure them.
Hope I'm wrong, but I'm afraid that the shipper messed up, and didn't tell you, or covered it up. Jim.
