We recommend that you mount your new dust collection system to the floor. Because floor materials may vary, floor mounting hardware is not included.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor studs (Figure 10) are two popular methods for anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We sug- gest you research the many options for mounting your machine and choose the one that best fits your specific application.
NOTICE
