consider is the weight of the operator and
dynamic loading when operating the
machine.
Space Allocation
When considering the space you need to
allocate for a safe and effective operation
you must take into account to provide
enough space for adequate material
handling or the installation of accessories.
In a permanent installation, leave enough
space around the machine to open or
remove doors as required for maintenance
etc.
Physical Environment
The physical environment where the
machine is operated is important for the
safe operation of any machine. Operate the
machine in a dry environment, free from
excessive moisture, hazardous chemicals,
airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions.
Extreme conditions for this machine are
those where the ambient temperature
range exceeds 5-40 degrees Celsius; the
relative humidity range exceeds 20%-95%
(non-condensing); or the environment
subject to vibration, shocks or bumps.
Electrical Installation
Make sure to place the machine near an
adequate power source. Ensure all power
cords are protected from traffic, material
handling, moisture, chemicals or other
hazards. Leave enough room around the
machine to disconnect the power supply or
apply a lockout device, if required.
Lighting
Shadows, glare or strobe lighting effects can
be distracting to an operator so the sources
must be eliminated. Good lighting is
essential for a safe operation of any
machine.

Bench Mounting

4 mounting holes each being 3/8" diameter
are required.
To prevent the machine from moving during
operation it is recommended to fasten the
machine to a workbench or other like
mounting surface. The machine has 4 pre-
drilled mounting holes in the base to
accommodate this. The strongest option is
a "Through Hole Mount" where holes are
drilled all the way through the workbench
or surface, securing in place with hex bolts,
washers and Hex Nuts. (Figure A)
Figure A
The other option is a "Direct Mount" (Figure
B) where the machine is secured directly
into the workbench with lag screws &
washers.
