7.1 Placement of the appliance
 Before using the appliance, we recommend firmly anchoring its four feet to an underframe.
 If the appliance is used as a portable tool, mount it on a stable support so you can work
safely without risk.
 The mounting surface must first be perforated.
 Each foot should be firmly bolted down with sufficiently long bolts (pay attention to the
thickness of the work surface) and clamping washers (not provided); place the clamp nuts
under the work surface.
 The size of the work surface should be sufficient to avoid upending the unit during the
work.
ATTENTION: Before starting any job make sure the work surface is
sufficiently stable and robust.
