Mounting To Shop Floor - Grizzly G1014Z Owner's Manual

Mounting to Shop
Floor
Although not required, we recommend that you
mount your new Model G1014Z sander to the
floor. The Model G1014ZX sander cabinet cannot
be mounted to the floor because the mounting
holes cannot be accessed through the cabinet.
However, you can use machine mounts on the
G1014ZX cabinet.
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. 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 (Figure 8) and
anchor studs 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.

To mount the Model G1014Z stand to the
floor:
1.
Follow the instructions for assembling the
stand (refer to G1014Z Stand Assembly on
Page 19).
2.
Place the stand on the floor where you plan
to mount it.
3.
Use a pencil or pen to transfer the stand
mounting hole locations onto the floor.
4.
Drill holes in the floor and install the stand
with the appropriate mounting hardware.
5. Using a precision level, level the stand front-
to-back and side-to-side. If necessary, place
shims between the floor and the stand to
level it.
Mobile Base
You can mount the Model G1014Z to the Model
G7314 (shown below) or the G1014ZX to the
Model G8683 mobile base (see Accessories,
