Chapter 2 Introduction / Safety / Installation: Introduction: This manual is divided into sections as listed in the table of contents. It is required that the new user of the SG8 read this manual, in particular the sections concerning safety, before operating the machine. Limited Warranty: Rottler Manufacturing Company Model SG8 parts and equipment is warranted as to materials and workmanship.
This machine is capable of causing severe bodily injury or death if EXTREME care is not used when operating! The operator of the SG8 should be a skilled machinist craftsman who is well versed in the caution, care, and knowledge required to safely operate metal cutting tools.

If used for other purposes, Rottler Manufacturing disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury or loss that may result from such use.
The proper loading arrangement and location for your SG8 machine is extremely important. A slow travel (6 to 10 feet / min.) power hoist operated from either a bridge crane or a jib crane arrangement works very well.
Operating Instructions SG8 Manual Leveling the Machine: Before leveling the machine, loosen and remove the shipping brackets securing the air float Workhead. (Figures 1 & 2).
