Workbench Load
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight and footprint specifications of your machine. Some floors may require additional reinforcement to support both the machine, the workbench and the workpiece.
Placement Location
Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when establishing a location for your new machine. See Figure 5 for the minimum working clearances.

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.
