Mounting To Shop Floor - Grizzly G0603X Owner's Manual

Mounting to Shop
Floor
The Model G0603X should be mounted to the
floor. Because floor materials may vary, floor
mounting hardware is not included.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts (see Figure 11)
and anchor studs (see Figure 12) are two popular
methods for anchoring 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.

To mount the planer to the floor:
1.
With the planer securely resting on the floor,
shim between the floor and planer base as
required to level the planer table.
2. Secure the planer to the floor, but DO NOT
overtighten the fasteners.
NOTICE
Shims may be required when mounting the
planer to the floor. If the floor is uneven
and you tighten the mounting bolts without
shims, you can crack the cast iron base.
Shim any gaps between the base and the
floor before fully tightening the mounting
bolts.
3.
Recheck the table to make sure that it is still
level, and re-shim as required.
4.
When the planer is level and all gaps are
shimmed, securely tighten the mounting
bolts.
