Attach the straps or chains to a hoist of forklift.
Slowly lift the machine slightly off the pallet to see if the machine is properly
balanced. If machine is not balanced, lower the machine back to the pallet
and reposition the chains or tow ropes, until a good balance is achieved.
Once the machine is balanced, slowly lift the machine off the pallet. Do not
rise the machine up until it is ready to place it on the stand.
When at the machine stand, use a couple of pieces of all-thread, steel rod or
long bolts to align the holes in the machine base to the holes in the machine
stand.
Carefully lower the machine onto the stand.
With machine in place, secure it to the stand.
Power Requirements
The machine runs on 110 or 220 volt AC and comes with a NEMA 5-15 plug.
It is recommended to connect to a 20 amp dedicated 110 VAC circuit.
Check your local electrical codes for details on the supply circuit.
The machine can be changed to 220 volt. Contact smithy for more
information.
Leveling the Machine
Leveling of a machine tool is not making the machine level to the horizontal
plane. It is assuring the bed of the machine is not twisted.
Make sure the machine is setting on a solid surface with both of the stands
firmly seated on the floor.
