material to be processed through each machine,
and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or
other machinery when establishing a location for
your new machine. see Figure 7 for the minimum

the vibration and forces applied during operation
could cause the grinder to unexpectedly move
and greatly increase the risk of serious personal
injury. you must firmly mount your grinder to a
stable and flat surface that will not move during
operation.
Note: The rubber feet provide vibration absorp-
tion for the grinder. We recommend that you keep
them on the machine when you mount it to the
workbench.
the strongest mounting option is a "through
mount" where holes are drilled all the way through
the workbench, and hex bolts, washers, and hex
nuts are used to secure the machine to the work-
bench.
