Leveling Bolts
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.

Leveling
Leveling machinery helps precision components,
such as conveyor tables, remain straight and flat
during the lifespan of the machine. Components
on a machine that are not level may slowly twist
due to the dynamic loads placed on the machine
during operation.
IMPORTANT: Use only hand tools to secure
machine to floor. Do not tighten with impact tools,
which can permanently twist and bend compo-
nents and pull a level machine out of alignment.
For best results, use a precision level that is at
least 12" long and sensitive enough to show a
distinct movement when a 0.003" shim (approxi-
mately the thickness of one sheet of standard
newspaper) is placed under one end of the level.
For accurate sanding results and to prevent
warping the conveyor table, the sander
frame MUST be leveled from side to side
and from front to back on both ends.
Re-check the sander frame 24 hours after
installation, two weeks after that, and then
annually to make sure it remains level.
To level machine:
1. Open lower access panels and use (2) lev-
eling bolts in each lower cabinet to level
machine (see
Figure 29).
2. Close access panels.
