Anchoring to Floor
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.

Anchoring to Concrete Floors
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.

To connect dust collection system to machine:
1. Fit 3" dust hose over dust port and secure in
place with a hose clamp.
2. Tug the hose to make sure it does not come
off.
Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper
performance.
Dust Collection
Minimum CFM at Dust Port: 250 CFM
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with
the rating of the dust collector. To determine the
CFM at the dust port, you must consider these
variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,
(2) hose type and length between the dust col-
lector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines
throughout the system. Explaining how to cal-
culate these variables is beyond the scope of
this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a
good dust collection "how-to" book.
DO NOT operate the Model G0897 with
a dust collection system that has been
previously used for wood dust collection
or other combustible material. Hot metal
sparks and fragments could cause material
to ignite! DO NOT attach to plastic fittings
or dust collection not rated specifically for
metal dust collection!
This machine creates a lot of metal chips/
dust during operation. Breathing airborne
dust on a regular basis can result in
permanent respiratory illness. Reduce your
risk by wearing a respirator and capturing
the dust with a dust-collection system.
