To remove your machine from the shipping
crate and place it in position:
1. Place the crate adjacent to the location where
your machine will be placed, then remove the
shipping crate from the pallet.
2. Position the stand into the desired location.
3. Use the vertical handwheel to raise the head-
stock as far as possible.
4. Hang a lifting strap from the fork of a forklift
and place it under the head of the mill/drill, as
shown in Figure 7. Take care not to place the
straps over any controls that may be dam-
aged during transit.

Moving & Placing
Machine
The Model G0704 is a
heavy machine. Serious
personal injury may occur
if safe moving methods
are not used. To be safe,
get assistance and use
power equipment to move
the shipping crate and
remove the machine from
the crate.
5. Unbolt the machine from the pallet, then with
an assistant steadying the machine to pre-
vent it from swinging, lift it slightly off of the
pallet. Use the cross handwheel to move the
table forward or backward as necessary to
balance the machine so it hangs as close to
level as possible.
6. Lift the machine and carefully place it onto
the stand.
7. Bolt the machine to the stand with the four
M10-1.25 x 50 hex bolts and flat washers.
—If you are placing the machine on a work-
bench, it must be securely mounted to the
workbench surface.
The strongest mounting option is a "Through
Mount" where holes are drilled all the way
through the workbench, and hex bolts, wash-
ers, and hex nuts are used to secure the
machine to the workbench.
