TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING
Follow these guidelines when lifting:
•
Use proper lifting techniques when moving the saw
from location to location.
•
Make sure the machine is balanced, level, and
securely tied or strapped to the transport vehicle or
device so that all the supporting feet are taking the
weight of the machine and no rocking is taking
place.
•
While transporting, avoid rough or jerky motion, and
maintain a safe clearance zone around the
transport area.
INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
Consider the following when looking for a suitable
location to place the machine:
•
Overall weight of the machine.
•
Weight of material being processed.
•
Sizes of material to be processed through the machine.
•
Space needed for auxiliary stands, work tables, or other machinery.
•
Clearance from walls and other obstacles. Maintain an adequate working area around the
machine for safety.
•
Have the work area well illuminated with proper lighting.
•
Keep the floor free of oil and make sure it is not slippery.
•
Remove scrap and waste materials regularly, and make sure the work area is free from
obstructing objects.
•
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 surface. The accuracy of any machine
depends on the precise placement of it to the mounting surface. If the unit wobbles or rocks
once in place, be sure to eliminate by using shims.
•
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.
