Using Wood Blocks; Mounting; Bolting To Concrete Floors - Grizzly G0513 Owner's Manual

Using Wood Blocks

1.
Move the crate to the prepared location, then
remove the crate from the shipping pallet.
2.
Unbolt the bandsaw from the pallet.
3. Carefully place the forklift forks under the
head and insert a 1x4 block between the head
and the left fork and a 2x4 block between the
head and right fork so the bandsaw is level,
as shown in Figure 18.

forklift using wood shims.
4.
Lift the bandsaw off of the pallet, remove the
pallet, then slowly set the bandsaw into posi-
tion.
Note: If you are concerned about your forklift
forks hitting the tension handwheel, remove the
handwheel before positioning the forks, then rein-
stall it after placing.
Serious injury could occur if you connect
machine to power before completing setup
process. DO NOT connect to power until
instructed later in this manual.

Mounting

We recommend mounting your new machine to
the floor. Because floor materials may vary, floor
mounting hardware is not included. You may also
mount your machine to a mobile base that has
wheel locking or wheel retracting capabilities that
keeps the mobile base from rolling when not in
use.

Bolting to Concrete Floors

Lag shield anchors with lag bolts (see Figure 19)
and anchor studs (see Figure 20) 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.

Figure 20. Typical anchor stud.
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.
