Lifting & Moving
This machine and its parts are heavy! Serious personal injury may occur if safe moving methods are not used. To reduce the risk of a lifting or dropping injury, ask others for help and use power equipment.
Make sure the lifting eye shown in Figure 7 is completely threaded into the headstock, then lift the machine off the pallet and onto a suitable location using the lifting eye.

Securing to Floor
Generally, you can either bolt your machine to the floor or mount it on machine mounts. Although not required, we recommend that you secure the machine to the floor and level it while doing so. Because this is an optional step and floor materials may vary, hardware for securing the machine to the floor is not included.
We strongly recommend securing your machine to the floor if it is hardwired to the power source. Consult with your electrician to ensure compliance with local codes.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag screws and anchors, or anchor studs
(below), are two popular methods for securing machinery to a concrete floor. We suggest you research the many options and methods for securing your machine and choose the best one for your specific application.
