Model G0643 21-Bit Line Boring Machine
-13-
Moving & Placing
Base Unit
The Model G0643 is a
heavy machine. Serious
personal injury may occur
if safe moving methods
are not used. To be safe,
get assistance and use
power equipment rated
for 1000 lbs. to move
the shipping crate and
remove the machine from
the crate.
To move your boring machine:
1.
Prepare the permanent location for the boring
machine. Refer to CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
on
Page 8
and
Site Considerations
on
Page
12 for requirements.
2. Attach a safety hook and lifting strap or chain
to the eye bolt on the top of the machine,
then to the power lifting equipment (see
Figure 9
).

Using Machine Mounts
Using machine mounts, shown in
Figure 8
, gives
the advantage of fast leveling and vibration reduc-
tion. The large size of the foot pads distributes
the weight of the machine to reduce strain on the
floor.
NOTICE
We strongly recommend securing your
machine to the floor if it is hardwired to the
power source. Consult with your electrician
to ensure compliance with local codes.
3. Unbolt the machine from the shipping crate.
4. With assistance and the use of the power lift-
ing equipment, move the boring machine to
the prepared location.
5. Make sure the top of the cabinet is level and
mount the machine to the floor.
— If you are using permanent fasteners, use
shims between the base and the floor to
make sure the machine is level.
Note:
To avoid cracking or warping the
cast iron base, tighten the four corners
down evenly.
— If you are using machine feet, adjust these
until the machine is level.
