SET UP
Lifting Sander
To place the sander in a permanent location, do these steps.
1.Unbolt the sander from the pallet.
2.Position the forklift forks directly above the sander. Place two lifting straps with hooks on the ends over the forklift forks and slide the hooks into the eye- bolts shown in Figure 14.
3.Lift the sander and move it to your predetermined location. DO NOT lift it any higher than is necessary to clear the floor.
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 mounting hard- ware is not included.

Anchor Stud
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with 3/8" lag bolts or anchor studs (Figure 15) 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.
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.

Bolting to Wood Floors
The most secure method of mounting this drum sander to a wood floor is using 3⁄8" hex bolts with flat washers, and securing the bolts from under the floor with flat washers, lock washers and hex nuts, as shown in Figure 16. Use lag bolts with washers only if you do not have access to the underside of the floor.
