Although not required, we recommend that you mount
your new machine to the floor. Because this is an
optional step and floor materials may vary, floor mount-
ing hardware is not included. Generally, you can either
bolt your machine to the floor or mount it on machine
mounts. Both options are described below. Whichever
option you choose, it will be necessary to use a precison
level to level your machine.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor studs
(
Figure 7
) are two popular methods for anchoring an
object to a concrete floor. We suggest you research the
many options and methods for mounting your machine
and choose the best that fits your specific application.
Figure 8
shows the mounting locations for this machine.
Mounting to Shop Floor
NOTICE
Anchor studs are stronger and more permanent alter-
natives to lag shield anchors; however, they will stick
out of the floor, which may cause a tripping hazard if
you decide to move your machine at a later point.
