Test Run; Mounting - Grizzly G8749 Owner's Manual

Mounting

due to the significant forces exerted on the
sander during operation, you must mount it to a
workbench. We recommend that you use one of
the following methods to secure your sander to
the workbench before using it.
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 sander to the
workbench.
Figure 7. Example of a through mount setup.
another option for mounting is a "direct Mount"
where the machine is simply secured to the work-
bench with a lag screw.
