FOUNDATION, LEVELLING AND ANCHORING
Machine location should be carefully selected. A flat concrete floor area should be chosen. It should have enough free
space surrounding the machine to enable free access for safe operation and maintenance. The machine should be
leveled in both directions (from side to side & from front to back). Four leveling screws used for securing the machine to
the pallet during transport, should be installed, one in each corner of the machine base. It might be required to place steel
plates under leveling bolts to prevent their sinking into the concrete floor. In cases when the machine is to be anchored
permanently, anchoring holes are provided. They are located next to the leveling screw holes. The larger diameter hole
is used for retaining during shipping and for use with concrete floor anchors. The smaller diameter threaded hole at each
corner, are used for leveling the saw.
Using a level on the machine out-feed table, level machine front to back and side to side.
NOTE:
In some cases leveling the saw infeed with a slight slope towards the blade is recommended. This will prevent
coolant from running down the raw stock. (This is especially true when cutting tubing or bundles).
