Unpacking the Machine:
Unpacking the machine will require tin snips (to cut banding), a knife and an adjustable wrench. Follow the steps below:
1)
Using the tin snips, cut the banding that is securing the machine to the pallet (if fitted).
2)
WARNING: EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE USED BECAUSE THE BANDING CAN SPRING AND COULD CAUSE INJURY.
3)
Remove the box from the CNC machine (if fitted) and any other packaging material. The parts ordered with the machine will
be packed on or inside the machine. (Please note, the machine is heavy, and it is recommended that professional assistance
[rigging] be used for unloading and placing the machine.).
4)
Use a forklift with sufficient lifting capacity and forks that are long enough to reach the complete width of the machine before
attempting to lift the machine.
5)
Remove the securing bolts that attach the machine to the pallet (if fitted).
6)
Approaching the machine from the side, lift the machine on the frame, taking care that there are no cables or pipes in the
area of the forks.
7)
Move the machine to the required position and install the leveling feet.
8)
Then lower the machine gently to the floor.
9) Level the machine so that all the supporting feet are taking the weight of the machine and no rocking is taking place.
