Riser blocks, shown in
Figure 23, are included
with the Model G0568/G0569 to match the height
of the table to your personal preference or needs.
This added feature, when installed, lifts the work-
ing table height from 32

To install the riser blocks:
1. Lift the Model G0568/G0569 with a forklift or
other power equipment.
2. Place the four hex bolts, lock washers, and
flat washers, down through the holes in the
base.
3. Locate and align the threaded holes in the
riser bars, then securely tighten the bolts.
Note: The riser bars have tabs with holes for
mounting the bandsaw unit to the floor to maxi-
mize stability. We highly recommend utilizing them
and securing the bandsaw to the floor.

Anchoring to Floor
Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping
or shifting and reduces vibration that may occur
during operation, resulting in a machine that runs
slightly quieter and feels more solid.
If the machine will be installed in a commercial or
workplace setting, or if it is permanently connect-
ed (hardwired) to the power supply, local codes
may require that it be anchored to the floor.
If not required by any local codes, fastening the
machine to the floor is an optional step. If you
choose not to do this with your machine, we rec-
ommend placing it on machine mounts, as these
provide an easy method for leveling and they have
vibration-absorbing pads.
Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below)
are a popular way to anchor machinery to a con-
crete floor, because the anchors sit flush with the
floor surface, making it easy to unbolt and move
the machine later, if needed. However, anytime
local codes apply, you MUST follow the anchoring
methodology specified by the code.
