Uncrating and Setting Up The MI-1220 XL

Moving the Machine

Moving a machine tool can be dangerous. Improper techniques and methods may injure

you and/or damage the machine. To find a professional to move and site your Smithy

machine to look in your local Yellow Pages under “Machine Tools, Moving and/or Rigging.”

If there is no such listing or your community does not have a rigging specialist, a local

machine shop or machinist may be able to provide a referral.

When you pick up the machine at the shipping terminal, bring a crowbar, tin snips for

cutting the metal straps, and a hammer. If there is obvious shipping damage to the crate,

you'll be able to inspect the machine before signing for it. Note any damage on the bill

of lading (shipping document). Fill out the claims form and notify both Smithy Co. and

the shipping terminal about the damage. Failure to notify both parties can complicate

and/or invalidate a claims process.

Trucking company terminals usually have forklifts to assist customers. It's most conven-

ient to transport the machines in trucks without canopies and large vans.

Uncrating and Positioning the Machine

The machine is assembled, inspected and ready to go on its stand when you receive it.

It's wrapped in a water and greaseproof cover, strongly braced, and crated. A box of

accessories is also in the crate.

The metal bands around the crate are

under tension. Wearing eye protection

and gloves, cut the metal bands with tin

snips. Be careful- the cut edges are

sharp. The band secures the crate top to

the base.

After removing the straps, lift off the

crate top. Tip the crate from the tailstock

end up and over the machine (Figure

6.1). Do not damage the crate; you may

need it another time to transport the

machine.

Figure 6.1 Tip the crate from the tailstock end up

and over the machine.
