Anchoring The Machine - Baileigh Industrial OS-1414 Operator's Manual

• It is important to maintain free area around the machine, which is required for the working
place. If any long material is machined, it is necessary to have a sufficient room in front of
the machine as well behind it in the places of material input and output.
• LEVELING: The machine should be sited on a level, concrete floor. Provisions for securing it
should be in position prior to placing the machine. The accuracy of any machine depends on
the precise placement of it to the mounting surface.
• FLOOR: This tool distributes a large amount of weight over a small area. Make certain that
the floor is capable of supporting the weight of the machine, work stock, and the operator.
The floor should also be a level surface. If the unit wobbles or rocks once in place, be sure to
eliminate by using shims.
• WORKING CLEARANCES: Take into consideration the size of the material to be
processed. Make sure that you allow enough space for you to operate the machine freely.
• POWER SUPPLY PLACEMENT: The power supply should be located close enough to the
machine so that the power cord is not in an area where it would cause a tripping hazard. Be
sure to observe all electrical codes if installing new circuits and/or outlets.

Anchoring the Machine

If you intend to mount the Baileigh machine on a workbench be aware of the following:
• Overall weight of the machine.
• Weight of material being processed.
• Make sure the workbench is properly reinforced to support the weight.
