Mounting to Shop Floor

Although not required, we recommend that you mount your new machine to the floor. Because this is an optional step and floor materials may vary, floor mount- ing hardware is not included. Generally, you can either bolt your machine to the floor or mount it on machine mounts. Both options are described below. Whichever option you choose, it will be necessary to use a precison level to level your machine.

Bolting to Concrete Floors

Lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor studs

(Figure 7) are two popular methods for anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We suggest you research the many options and methods for mounting your machine and choose the best that fits your specific application. Figure 8 shows the mounting locations for this machine.

NOTICE

Anchor studs are stronger and more permanent alter- natives to lag shield anchors; however, they will stick out of the floor, which may cause a tripping hazard if you decide to move your machine at a later point.
