•
If long lengths of material are to be fed into the machine, make sure that they will not extend
into any aisles.
•
LEVELING: The machine should be sited on a level, concrete floor. Provisions for securing it
should be in position prior to placing the machine. The accuracy of any machine depends on
the precise placement of it to the mounting surface.
•
FLOOR: This tool distributes a large amount of weight over a small area. Make certain that
the floor is capable of supporting the weight of the machine, work stock, and the operator.
The floor should also be a level surface. If the unit wobbles or rocks once in place, be sure to
eliminate by using shims.
•
WORKING CLEARANCES: Take into consideration the size of the material to be
processed. Make sure that you allow enough space for you to operate the machine freely.
•
POWER SUPPLY PLACEMENT: The power supply should be located close enough to the
machine so that the power cord is not in an area where it would cause a tripping hazard. Be
sure to observe all electrical codes if installing new circuits and/or outlets.
Securing the Base
The machine should be sited on a level, concrete floor. Provisions for securing it should be in
position prior to placing the machine. The safety and accuracy of any machine depends on the
precise placement of it to the mounting surface.
If you intend to mount the Baileigh machine on a workbench be aware of the following:
•
Overall weight of the machine and the weight of material being processed.
•
Make sure the workbench is properly reinforced to support the total weight.
•
The strongest mounting option is where the holes are drilled all the way through the
workbench and the machine is secured with bolts, washers, and nuts.
WARNING:
Before operating; make sure it is firmly bolted to a table,
bench, or the floor. If it tips over on you, it could cause severe injury or death.
