INSTALLATION
1.
It is important that the machine be located on a hard, solid, level floor. Find a location that
supplies easy access to 110 Volt electrical service. Make sure this machine is located in a well
lighted and well ventilated area. The floor should be resistant to vibration.
2.
Before moving the machine, be sure the head is fixed on the column. Before moving the machine, lower
the head as much as possible to lower the center of gravity. When moving the machine be careful to
keep it balanced, and not allow it to topple over.
3.
To set the machine on a solid concrete foundation, it’s advisable to apply a little grout to touch up
any uneveness in the concrete in order to get a solid foundation at all points.
4.
When setting machine on a floor that has any surface irregularities, shims should be used to
correct this condition to the greatest extent possible.
5.
There are 4 holes in the base for mounting the machine permanently to a smooth, solid, and level floor.

Thoroughly clean the machine with a commercial degreaser.
Do not use gasoline, kerosene or other flammable liquids.
Avoid getting solvent on rubber parts, or into the electrical
controls or motor.
2.
After cleaning, coat all bright metal with a light lubricant to
prevent corrosion.
