Mounting to Shop
Floor
The center of gravity of the assembled sander is above the middle of the machine. Although not required, we strongly recommend that you mount your new machine to the floor to prevent tipping. Because this is an optional step and floor mate- rials may vary, floor mounting hardware is not included.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Anchor studs and lag bolts (Figure 8) are two popular methods for anchoring an object to a con- crete floor. We suggest you research the many options and methods for mounting your machine and choose the best that fits your specific applica- tion.
NOTICE
Anchor studs are stronger and more perma- nent alternatives to lag bolts; however, they will stick out of the floor, which may cause a tripping hazard if you decide to move your machine.
