Moving & Placing
Planer/Sander
The Model G0677 is a
heavy machine. Serious
personal injury may occur
if safe moving methods
are not used. To be safe,
get assistance and use
power equipment to move
the shipping crate and
remove the machine from
the pallet.
To move and place your planer/sander:
1. Remove the crate from the shipping pallet.
2. Open the lower access doors and use a
14mm wrench to remove the four hex bolts
and flat washers that secure the planer/
sander to the pallet.
3. Using a forklift (Figure 13), lift the machine
just enough to clear the pallet and floor obsta-
cles, then move it to the prepared location.

4. When mounting the machine to the floor
(optional), use a precision level to make sure
it is level from side-to-side and front-to-back.
5. If necessary, use shims to make sure there
are no gaps between the base and the floor
and to avoid warping the steel frame.
Forklift
Forks
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 mounting hardware is not included.
Whichever option you choose, it is necessary to
level your machine with a precision level and, if
necessary, shim between the base and floor to
avoid warping the steel frame.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor
studs (
Figure 14) are two popular methods for
anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We sug-
gest you research the many options and methods
for mounting your machine and choose the best
that fits your specific application.

NOTICE
We strongly recommend securing your
machine to the floor if it is hardwired to the
power source. Consult with your electrician
to determine if this is appropriate for your
setup.
