The Model W1772/W1773
is an extremely heavy
machine. Serious per-
sonal injury may occur if
safe moving methods are
not followed. To be safe,
you will need assistance
and power equipment
when moving the ship-
ping crate and removing
the machine from the
crate.
Use lifting straps with a combined
minimum of 2000 lbs. lifting capacity.
If lifting straps break, serious personal
injury may occur.
• Floor Load: This machine distributes a heavy load in
a small footprint. Some residential floors may require
additional bracing to support both machine and
operator.
• Working Clearances:
Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be processed
through the machine, and space for auxiliary stands,
work tables or other machinery when establishing
a location for your drum sander (see
Figure 13
for
minimum working clearances).
• Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough to
eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.
• Electrical:
Electrical circuits must be dedicated or
large enough to handle amperage requirements.
Follow local electrical codes for proper installation of
new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
Machine Placement
MAKE your shop “child safe.” Ensure
that your workplace is inaccessible
to youngsters by closing and locking
all entrances when you are away.
NEVER allow untrained visitors in
your shop when assembling, adjust-
ing or operating equipment.
