Moving & Placing - Grizzly G0642 Owner's Manual

Using Machine Mounts
Using machine mounts, shown in Figure 7, gives
the advantage of fast leveling and vibration reduc-
tion. The large size of the foot pads distributes
the weight of the machine to reduce strain on the
floor.
Figure 7. Machine mount example.
NOTICE
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.

Moving & Placing
This machine and its com-
ponents are very heavy.
Use assistants and safe
methods to lift and move
this machine.
To move your boring machine:
1.
Prepare the permanent location for the boring
machine. Refer to CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
on Page 8, and Site Considerations on
Page 11 for requirements.
2.
Unbolt the machine from the shipping crate.
3.
Use assistants and safe lifting methods to
move the machine to its prepared location.
4.
Make sure the top of the cabinet is level and
mount the machine to the floor.
— If you are using permanent fasteners, use
shims between the base and the floor to
make sure the machine is level.
Note: To avoid cracking or warping the
cast iron base, tighten the four corners
down evenly.
— If you are using machine feet, adjust these
until the machine is level.
