SETTING UP THE LD SERIES
If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. The LD Series should be in-
stalled in an area where adequate lighting is present in order to ensure safe use. Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not block airflow to fans or vents on the enclosure.
Note:
Do not position the LD Series so that it is difficult to operate. The mains supply machine socket should be easily accessible so that the mains power may
be disconnected in case of an emergency.
The LD Series is a heavy machine and great care should be taken in choosing the location where it is installed. If it is to be bench mounted, ensure that
the bench is capable of remaining firm and stable, and able to withstand the combined weight of the machine and any mounted accessories. See
Specifi-
cations on page15
for the weight of the LD Series. The LD Series must be vertical, whether bench or floor mounted. If not vertical, results may be affected,
particularly for very low load.
!
CAUTION:
The LD Series must be positioned so that the front of the machine can be easily accessed. The Emergency Stop Button MUST NOT BE
OBSTRUCTED in any way.
