Anchoring to Floor
Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping
or shifting and reduces vibration that may occur
during operation, resulting in a machine that runs
slightly quieter and feels more solid.
If the machine will be installed in a commercial or
workplace setting, or if it is permanently connect-
ed (hardwired) to the power supply, local codes
may require that it be anchored to the floor.
If not required by any local codes, fastening the
machine to the floor is an optional step. If you
choose not to do this with your machine, we rec-
ommend placing it on machine mounts, as these
provide an easy method for leveling and they have
vibration-absorbing pads.
Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below)
are a popular way to anchor machinery to a con-
crete floor, because the anchors sit flush with the
floor surface, making it easy to unbolt and move
the machine later, if needed. However, anytime
local codes apply, you MUST follow the anchoring
methodology specified by the code.

Lifting & Placing
This is a heavy machine.
Serious personal injury
may occur if safe moving
methods are not used. To
be safe, get assistance and
use powered lifting equip-
ment to move the ship-
ping crate and remove the
machine from the crate.
To lift and place the bandsaw:
1. Prepare the bandsaw operation site for
machine placement (refer to
Anchoring to
Floor) and the electrical connection (refer to
Page 12).
2. With the bandsaw still secured to the ship-
ping pallet, move it to the operation site,
then remove the shipping straps securing the
bandsaw to the pallet.
3. Attach the safety hook and chain between
the forklift and bandsaw lifting eyebolt (see
Figure 20 for an example).
Figure 20. Example of using safety hook and
chain to lift bandsaw.
4. With the help from another person to steady
the load and prevent the bandsaw from
swinging, lift the bandsaw enough to clear the
pallet, remove the pallet, then slowly place
the bandsaw into position.
