Physical Environment

The physical environment where your machine is operated is important for safe operation and longevity of parts. For best results, operate this machine in a dry environment that is free from excessive moisture, hazardous or flammable chemicals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions. Extreme conditions for this type

of machinery are generally those where the ambient temperature is outside the range of 41°– 104°F; the relative humidity is outside the range of 20–95% (non-condensing); or the environment is subject to vibration, shocks, or bumps.

Electrical Installation

Place this machine near an existing power source. Make sure all power cords are protected from traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals, or other hazards. Make sure to leave access to a means of disconnecting the power source or engaging a lockout/tagout device.

Lighting

Lighting around the machine must be adequate enough that operations can be performed safely. Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract or impede the operator must be eliminated.

Weight Load

Physical Environment

Refer to the Machine Specifications for the weight of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon which the machine is placed will

bear the weight of the machine, additional equipment that may be installed on the machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will be used. Additionally, considerLightingthe weight of the operator and any dynamic loading that may occur when operating the machine.

Weight Load

Space Allocation

Consider the largest size of workpiece that will be processed throughSpacethis Allocationmachine and provide enough space around the machine for adequate operator material handling or the installation of auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations, leave enough space around

the machine to open or remove doors/covers as required by the maintenance and service described in this manual.
