2.0 Facility Preparation
Prior to uncrating your machine confirm that your location can
accommodate the Ironwood CUT 18. Follow these guidelines:
2.1 Floor
• The floor must be flat and level.
• Although no special foundations are required, a concrete floor is
recommended.
• All floors must have a load-bearing strength suitable for the
machine weight of approximately 800 pounds.
• The machine need not be anchored to the floor. However, if you
decide to do so, purchase high quality anchor bolts appropriate
to the floor construction and material.
2.2 Work Space
• Provide adequate work space surrounding the machine.
• Provide proper non-glare, overhead lighting to keep the work
space well lit.
• Place the machine so that any potential kickback area is not in
line with aisles, doorways, or other work and traffic areas.
• Provide an adequate dust extraction system. The dust extraction
system should have a flow rate of 4500 feet/min at 450 cfm.
• Avoid exposure to any environment where vibration is present.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or heat.
