Site Considerations
Floor Load
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet on Page 3 for
the weight and footprint specifications 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 Figure 6 for the minimum
working clearances.

Mounting to Shop
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
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor
studs (Figure 7) are two popular methods for
anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We sug-
gest you research the many options and methods
for mounting your machine and choose the best
that fits your specific application.
�
Anchor studs are stronger and more perma-
nent alternatives to lag bolts; however, they
will stick out of the floor, which may cause
a tripping hazard if you decide to move your
machine.
