Lifting & Placing
Straining or crushing injury
may occur from improperly
lifting machine or some of
its parts. To reduce this risk,
get help from other people
and use a fork lift (or other
lifting equipment) rated for
weight of this machine.
To move your machine into position:
1.
Move the shipping crate next to the work-
bench or stand you have for the mill/drill, then
unbolt the machine from the pallet.
2.
to help balance the machine during moving,
move the table as close to the column as
possible, and raise the headstock to its high-
est position.
3.
place a lifting strap under the headstock of
the machine, as shown in Figure 5, connect
it to a forklift, then lift and place the machine.
Note: Make sure you tighten all the locks that
restrict moving parts to avoid sudden shifts
which could unbalance the machine.

HEAVY LIFT!
Mounting
the machine base has holes to accommodate
mounting hardware. Additionally, you may con-
sider providing a hole in your workbench or
stand for access to the underside of the machine
base. this will be necessary for adjusting the
y-axis leadscrew backlash (refer to Adjusting
Leadscrew backlash on Page 34 ).
the strongest mounting option is a "through
Mount" where holes are drilled all the way through
the workbench, and hex bolts, washers, and hex
nuts are used to secure the mill/drill to the work-
bench (Figure 6).

Another option for mounting is a "direct Mount"
where the machine is simply secured to the work-
bench with lag screws (Figure 7).
