Lifting & Moving
Make sure the lifting eye shown in Figure 7 is
completely threaded into the headstock, then lift
the machine off the pallet and onto a suitable
location using the lifting eye.
Figure 7. Lifting location.
This machine and its
parts are heavy! Serious
personal injury may occur
if safe moving methods are
not used. To reduce the
risk of a lifting or dropping
injury, ask others for help
and use power equipment.
Securing to Floor
We strongly recommend securing your
machine to the floor if it is hardwired to the
power source. Consult with your electrician to
ensure compliance with local codes.
Generally, you can either bolt your machine
to the floor or mount it on machine mounts.
Although not required, we recommend that you
secure the machine to the floor and level it while
doing so. Because this is an optional step and
floor materials may vary, hardware for securing
the machine to the floor is not included.

research the many options and methods for
securing your machine and choose the best one
for your specific application.
