for the weight of your
machine. Make sure that the surface upon which the
machine is placed will bear the weight of the machine,
additional equipment that may be installed on the
machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will be used.
Additionally, consider the weight of the operator and
any dynamic loading that may occur when operating the
machine.
Space Allocation
Consider the largest size of workpiece that will be
processed through this machine and provide enough
space around the machine for adequate operator material
handling or the installation of auxiliary equipment. With
permanent installations, leave enough space around the
machine to open or remove doors/covers as required by
the maintenance and service described in this manual.
See below for working clearances.
Physical Environment
The physical environment where your
machine is operated is important for
safe operation and the longevity of its
components. For best results, operate
this machine in a dry environment that is
free from excessive moisture, hazardous
chemicals, airborne abrasives, or extreme
conditions. Extreme conditions for this type
of machinery are generally those where
the ambient temperature range exceeds
41°–104°F; the relative humidity range
exceeds 20–95% (non-condensing); or the
environment is subject to vibration, shocks,
or bumps.
Electrical Installation
Place this machine near an existing power
source. Make sure all power cords are
protected from traffic, material handling,
moisture, chemicals, or other hazards.
Make sure to leave access to a means of
disconnecting the power source or engaging
a lockout/tagout device.
Lighting
Lighting around the machine must be
adequate enough that operations can be
performed safely. Shadows, glare, or strobe
effects that may distract or impede the
operator must be eliminated.
Site Considerations
MAKE your shop “child safe.” Ensure
that your workplace is inaccessible
to children by closing and locking
all entrances when you are away.
NEVER allow untrained visitors in
your shop when assembling, adjust-
ing or operating equipment.
