Floor Load

Refer to the Machine Data Sheet on Page 3 for the weight and footprint specifications of your machine. Some residential floors may require additional reinforcement to support both the machine and operator.

Placement Location

Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands, work tables, other machinery, and the operator when establishing a location for your new machine. See Figure 5 for the minimum clearance dimensions.

Moving & Placing

Base Unit

The Model G0484 is a heavy machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safe moving methods are not used. To be safe, get assistance and use power equipment to move the shipping crate and remove the machine from the crate.

NOTICE

The G0484 is designed to be lifted from the base. DO NOT lift your mill/drill from the headstock. Failure to heed this notice will cause damage to your mill/drill and void the warranty.

To lift the G0484 from the base, remove both side panels of the base (see Figure 6). Carefully place the lift forks completely through the base cavity.

Be sure to use assistance in this process and only lift the mill/drill enough to clear floor obstacles as you move it to its permanent position.
