Moving & Placing

Machine

To move your machine into position:

1.Move the shipping crate next to the work- bench or cabinet.

2.Adjust the Y-axis handwheel to position the table as close to the column as possible to help balance the machine during moving.

3.Place lifting straps under the head of the machine, as shown in Figure 21, then con- nect them to a forklift. Be sure that the straps connect to the forklift far enough apart that they are not putting pressure on the belt cover.

Figure 21. Typical lifting strap position.

When using power lifting equipment, make sure the equipment is safe, fully operational, and adequately rated for the weight being lifted. The operator of the equipment must be experienced and able to use safe meth- ods during these processes. Failure to heed these warnings could result in serious per- sonal injury or death.

4.Unbolt the machine from the pallet, then with an assistant steadying the machine to pre- vent it from swinging, lift it slightly off of the pallet. Use the cross handwheel to move the table forward or backward as necessary to balance the machine so it hangs as close to level as possible.

5.Lift the machine and carefully place it onto the cabinet or workbench.

—If you are using the cabinet, bolt the machine to it with the four M10-1.25 x 120 hex bolts and flat washers.

Leveling

Whether you mount your machine to the cabinet stand or to an existing workbench, it must be lev- eled.

—If you mounted your machine to an existing workbench, use a precision level and metal shims as needed under the machine base to make sure the machine table is level from side-to-side and from front-to-back.

—If you mounted your machine to the cabi- net, use a precision level and the cabinet's leveling bolts to make sure the machine table is level from side-to-side and from front-to-back.

—If you mounted your machine to the cabinet and mounted the cabinet to the floor, use a precision level and metal shims as needed to make sure the machine table is level from side-to-side and from front-to-back.
