5. Before you lift the machine, verify that you have

risk of machine damage.

Before operating the machine, you must verify that it's
approximately level. While this helps with things like coolant
flow, it doesn't impact machine performance.
To level the machine:
Make note of any high or low spots, and, if required,
adjust the leveling feet.
