Bench
The bench to be used should be of sturdy construction, preferably with rubber mounts to minimize noise.
A height of 762 to 812 mm [30 to 32 in.] is the most suitable for operator comfort and convenience. This
height allows the operator to rest both feet on the floor, providing for the shifting of weight and leg
position.
Machine mounting and location on bench
Locate the machine near the front of the bench with the target area (tooling area where the product is
applied) at least 50 mm [2 in.] from the front edge, but not more than 152 to 203 mm [6 to 8 in.]. This
location eliminates unnecessary operator motion and helps to prevent back strain and fatigue.
Orient the machine so that the target area faces the front of the bench and is parallel to the front edge.
Access to the back of the machine
must
also be provided.
DANGER
Machines must be securely bolted (in 4 places) to the bench using the machine mounting holes shown in Figure 10. Hardware
is customer-supplied. Use M12 bolts of grade 12.9. Choose bolt length based on bench or platform thickness. Bolts must be
installed using a flat washer under the head, and a flat and lock washer with the nut. Do not deform the bolt during installation.
At least one thread must protrude beyond the nut after tightening. Periodically inspect bolts for tightness. Machines must not
extend beyond the footprint of the bench (200mm by 392mm).

Operator's chair
The operator's chair should swivel and have independent seat height and back rest adjustments. The seat
and back rest should be padded. The back rest should be large enough to provide support both above
and below the waist line. In use, the chair should be far enough under the bench to permit the operator's
back to remain straight and supported by the back rest.
