Mounting to Shop
Floor
Although not required, we recommend that you mount your new machine to the floor. Because this is an optional step and floor materials may vary, floor mounting hardware is not included. However you decide to mount your machine, we strongly suggest leveling the machine with a pre- cision level before bolting it down.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts (Figure 18) and anchor studs (Figure 19) are two popular meth- ods for anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We suggest you research the many options and methods for mounting your machine and choose the best that fits your specific application.
NOTICE
Anchor studs are stronger and more per- manent alternatives to lag shield anchors; however, they will stick out of the floor, which may cause a tripping hazard if you decide to move your machine.

NOTICE
We strongly recommend securing your machine to the floor if it is hardwired to the power source. Consult with your electrician to ensure compliance with local codes.
