LIFTING THE S23P II WITH A FORK LIFT
The S23PII is shrink-wrapped and shipped
on a pallet. When lifting the pallet with a
forklift truck make sure that the load is firmly
balanced. The pallet dimensions are 94”
(2388mm) x 110” (2794mm). Minimum fork
length of 48” (1219mm) is recommended to
safely lift the machine.
Remove the wrapping from around the saw.
Complete the inspection for signs of damage.
Remove the bolts that hold the saw to the pal-
let. Retain these bolts to use for levelling. The
larger diameter hole is for use with concrete
floor anchors. The smaller diameter, threaded
holes at each corner are used for levelling the
saw properly.
The machine should be lifted from the FRONT
as shown. Locate one fork 16” from the idler
side of the machine. Forklift spacing should be
about 32” apart.
NOTE: DO NOT position the forklift to allow contact with the electrical cabinet. DAMAGE WILL RESULT!
FOUNDATION, LEVELLING AND ANCHORING
Machine location should be carefully selected. A flat con-
crete floor area should be chosen. It should have enough
free space surrounding the machine to enable free access
for safe operation and maintenance. The machine should be
leveled in both directions (from side to side & from front to
back). Six leveling screws used for securing the machine to
the pallet during transport, should be installed, one in each
corner of the machine base, as shown below. It might be
required to place steel plates under leveling bolts to pre-
vent their sinking into the concrete floor. In cases when the
machine is to be anchored permanently, anchoring holes are
provided. They are located next to the leveling screw holes.
The larger diameter hole is used for retaining during shipping
and for use with concrete floor anchors. The smaller diam-
eter threaded hole at each corner, are used for leveling the
saw.
Using a level on the machine out-feed table, level machine
front to back and side to side.
NOTE: In some cases leveling the saw infeed with a slight
slope towards the blade is recommended. This will prevent
coolant from running down the raw stock. (This is especially
true when cutting tubing or bundles).
