Mounting of base plate on concrete
1. Secure the base plate to the floor or wall with an expanding anchor and minimum 12 mm (1/2”)
bolt. Be observant on what material the base plate will be mounted on. For safety it is important
that the base plate is properly secured. If mounted on brick or light concrete we recommend to
secure the base plate with through bolts.
2. When drilling with large or long drill bits we recommend to use two anchors of M16 size to fasten
the base plate. The base plate BTS-3 is not recommended for drilling with large drill bits.
WARNING!
•
The base plate must be securely fastened to perform safe drilling
•
Be careful to clean the mounting hole for the base plate with water or air
before fitting an expander bolt.
!
Important!
•
The MD1 can use very high torque on the spindle and if the base plate is
not fastened according to the recommendations above, the base can
twist under load and cause misalignment between drill bit and hole.
•
Never hit the column into position with a hammer or the like.
