Site Considerations

Floor Load
Refer to the Model Specification Comparison
chart on Page 5 for the weight and footprint speci-
fications of your machine. Some residential floors
may require additional reinforcement to support
both the machine and operator.
Placement Location
Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of
material to be processed through each machine,
and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or
other machinery when establishing a location for
your new machine. See Figures 11–12 for the
minimum working clearances.

Mounting to Shop
Floor
Although not required, we recommend that you
mount your new machine to the floor. Because
this is an optional step and floor materials may
vary, floor mounting hardware is not included.
Generally, you can either bolt your machine to
the floor or mount it on machine mounts. Both
options are described below. Whichever option
you choose, it is necessary to level your machine
with a precision level.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Anchor studs and lag shield anchors with lag bolts
(Figure 13) are two popular methods for anchor-
ing an object to a concrete floor. We suggest
you research the many options and methods for
mounting your machine and choose the best that
fits your specific application.
NOTICE
Anchor studs are stronger and more per-
manent alternatives to lag shield anchors;
however, they will stick out of the floor,
which may cause a tripping hazard if you
decide to move your machine.
