Figure 5. M1001 minimum working clearances.
• Floor Load: Your vertical mill has a large
weight load of 822 lbs. in a small footprint.
We recommend placing this mill on a
concrete floor.
• Working Clearances: Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be
processed through the machine, and space
for auxiliary stands, work tables or other
machinery when establishing a location for
your vertical mill (see Figure 5).
• Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough
to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.
• Electrical: Electrical circuits must be
dedicated or large enough to handle
amperage requirements. Outlets must be
located near each machine, so power or
extension cords are clear of high-traffic
areas. Follow local electrical codes for
proper installation of new lighting, outlets,
or circuits.
Cleaning Machine
The table and other unpainted parts of your
Vertical Mill are coated with a waxy grease that
protects them from corrosion during shipment.
Clean this grease off with a solvent cleaner or
citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlorine-
based solvents such as brake parts cleaner or
acetone—if you happen to splash some onto a
painted surface, you will ruin the finish.
Machine Placement
USE helpers and power
lifting equipment to lift
this 6" x 26" Vertical Mill.
Otherwise, serious per-
sonal injury may occur.
NEVER use gasoline or
other petroleum-based
solvents to clean with.
Most have low flash
points, which make them
extremely flammable.
A risk of explosion and
burning exists if these
products are used. Serious
personal injury may occur
if this warning is ignored!
ALWAYS work in well-
ventilated areas far from
possible ignition sources
when using solvents to
clean machinery. Many
solvents are toxic when
inhaled or ingested. Use
care when disposing
of waste rags and
towels to be sure they
DO NOT create fire or
environmental hazards.
