Site Considerations

Workbench Load
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight
and footprint specifications of your machine.
Some workbenches may require additional rein-
forcement to support the weight of the machine
and workpiece materials.
Placement Location
Consider anticipated workpiece sizes and addi-
tional space needed for auxiliary stands, work
tables, or other machinery when establishing a
location for this machine in the shop. Below is
the minimum amount of space needed for the
machine.
11"
Approx. 36" Working Clearance
Figure 12. Minimum working clearances.
Children and visitors may be
seriously injured if unsuper-
vised around this machine.
Lock entrances to the shop
or disable start switch or
power connection to prevent
unsupervised use.

Bench Mounting

The base of this machine has two holes for
mounting it to a workbench. Because of the
forces applied to the machine during operation,
you MUST securely mount it to a workbench to
prevent it from tipping or shifting during operation.
Any unexpected movement could result in injury
or property damage.
The strongest mounting option is a "Through
Mount" (see example below) where holes are
drilled all the way through the workbench—and
hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are used to
secure the machine in place.

Another option is a "direct mount" (see example
below) where the machine is secured directly to
the workbench with lag screws and washers.
