M1044 52" Foot Shear
Lifting Shear
A forklift or other mechanical device will be needed to lift the 1040 lb. shear off of the pallet. Have a helper nearby to assist. Lift the foot shear as shown in Figure 2.
Mounting to Shop Floor
We recommend that you mount your new foot shear to the floor for safety and to offer the best performance. Since floor materials vary, floor mounting hardware is not included. Generally, you can bolt your foot shear to the floor using the options described below. Whichever option you choose it will be necessary to use a precision level to level your foot shear.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Figure 2. Lifting the foot shear.
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts (Figure 3) and anchor studs (Figure 4) are two popular methods for anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We suggest you research the many options and methods for mounting your foot shear and choose the best that fits your specific applica- tion.
NOTICE
Anchor studs are stronger and more permanent alter- natives 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 at a later point.
