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.
Anchoring the Machine
• Once positioned, anchor the machine to the floor, as shown in
the diagram. Use bolts and expansion plugs or sunken tie rods
that connect through and are sized for the holes in the base of
the stand.
• This machine requires a solid floor such as concrete at a
minimum of 4” (102mm) thick. 6” (153mm) minimum is preferred.
