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 forklift (or other
lifting equipment) rated for
weight of this machine.
Do not attempt to lift or move this machine without
using the proper lifting equipment (such as fork-
lift or crane) or getting the necessary assistance
from other people.
To lift and move machine:
1.
Remove shipping crate top and sides, then
remove small components from shipping
pallet.
2.
Move press to its final location while it is still
attached to shipping pallet.
3.
Unbolt machine from shipping pallet.
4.
Use forklift and lifting straps (see Figure 9) to
lift machine to just clear pallet, then remove
pallet from under machine.

Anchoring to Floor
Number of Mounting Holes ............................ 4
Diameter of Mounting Hardware .................
Anchoring machine to the floor prevents tipping
or shifting that may occur during operation with
large/heavy workpieces.
If machine is installed in a commercial or work-
place setting, or if it is permanently connected
(hardwired) to the power supply, local codes may
require that it be anchored to the floor.
Anchoring to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below)
are a popular way to anchor machinery to a con-
crete floor, because the anchors sit flush with the
floor surface, making it easy to unbolt and move
the machine later, if needed. However, anytime
local codes apply, you MUST follow the anchoring
methodology specified by the code.
