4. Shipping Brace
A shipping brace has been used to secure the saw frame to the saw base. Do not remove
this brace until the machine is properly installed.
5. Machine Placement and Position
The followings should be considered when positioning the machine:
The floor: The machine should be placed on a levelled concrete floor.
Working area: Sufficient space should be allocated around the machine for comfortably
loading and unloading work stock and for easy access during maintenance and repair. When
necessary, all doors and access panels should be opened without interference.
Lighting: The machine and its surroundings should be well lit for operator’s safety and for
a convenient operation and maintenance.
Leveling: Once the machine has been positioned on the floor, it must be leveled. Adjust
the leveling screws so that the machine is leveled on a horizontal plane in two directions;
side-to-side and front-to-back within a tolerance of 0.1/1000 mm. Use vice bed surface to
place the machinist's level. All of the four leveling screws should be supporting the
machine. After leveling, make sure that the nuts are tightened if the stud bolts are used.
Leveling is very important to obtain consistent and accurate cuts.
Note: After leveling, the shipping brace should be removed from the saw.
