3.2 demand of foundation
1) Installation of the machine will effect deeply efficiency and precision,
don’t place the grinder between the milling machine and planer, etc,
because there is shock when these machine are running, the shock will
be transferred to the grinder and make wave mark on the grinding
surface.
2) The table of the machine must be prevented from insolate for this will
make the table thermal distortion. Don’t install the machine in the field full
of magnet, inflammable dirt, metal dirt and outburst gas.
3)
Don’t install the grinding machine on the insubstantiality foundation avoid
distortion.
3.3 foundation instruction and machine setting

foundation is to be cast in one piece, the concrete should not be lower
than #500, the depth noted on the “Foundation Layout” is the min. value
suitable only for the ordinary solid soil, else it should be accordingly
increased. If the shop is near the sandy river bank or the ground is newly
filled, the foundation should be reinforced with the additional blocks. After
the foundation is finished a curing period of 28days is necessary. During
the first week the foundation should be watered often so that it can be
kept damp. In winter the curing period has to be properly lengthened and
anti-freezing measure should taken into consideration, Installing is not
allowed within the curing period.
2) Don’t use simple “knocking in” type wedges, when the machine is
installed and adjust leveling with wedges. The machine is to be installed

mortar around the bolts and then left to dry 3-7 days after the machine
has been pre-leveled up. Following this proceed with fine leveling and
tighten the nuts.
3) Check insulating resistance for electric system, then connection of power
mains to the machine electric cabinet should be made only after it has
been well grounded. Only when the installation has been entirely
