Lifting & Placing
Straining or crushing injury
may occur from improperly
lifting machine or some of
its parts. To reduce this
risk, use a forklift (or other
lifting equipment) rated for
weight of this machine.
DO NOT attempt to lift or move this machine with-
out using the proper lifting equipment (such as
forklift or crane) or the necessary assistance from
other people. Each piece of lifting equipment must
be rated for at least 1200 lbs. to support dynamic
loads that may be applied while lifting. Refer to
Needed for Setup on Page 15 for complete list
of needed equipment for setup and installation.
Tools Needed
Forklift or Hoist (rated for 1200 lbs.) .................. 1
To lift and place machine:
1.
Move crate to machine work site.
2.
Remove crate top and sides, small items
inside crate, and blocks on machine base.
3.
Lift machine with forklift or hoist just enough
to clear pallet, then move pallet out of
the way.
Note: Lift machine by the underside of
machine body between the mounting legs.
4.
Have an additional person tighten hex nuts
on leveling feet halfway on threaded bolt,
then thread leveling feet into machine mount-
ing legs (see Figure 10).
5.
Lower machine on leveling feet and proceed
to Leveling on this page.

Leveling
For accurate cutting results and to prevent
warping, the table and frame MUST be
leveled from side to side and from front to
back on both ends. Re-check the table and
frame 24 hours after installation, two weeks
after that, and then annually to make sure
they remain level.
Leveling machinery helps precision components
remain straight and flat during the lifespan of the
machine. Components on a machine that are not
level may slowly twist due to the dynamic loads
placed on the machine during operation.
To level machine:
1.
Place level on table and align to either X- or
Y-axis.
2.
Loosen top leveling foot hex nut and adjust
bottom fixed nut on threaded bolt (see
Figure 10). Tighten hex nut against mount-
ing leg to secure.
Note: Tighten fixed nut to raise machine, and
loosen fixed nut to lower machine.
3.
Use level to check X- and Y-axes. Repeat as
needed.
