Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight
and footprint specifications of your machine.
Some workbenches may require additional rein-
forcement to support both the machine and mate-
rial.
Working Clearances
Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of
material to be processed through each machine,
and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or
other machinery when establishing a location for
your new machine. See Figure 6 for the minimum
working clearances.
Site Considerations
Unsupervised children and
visitors inside your shop
could cause serious per-
sonal injury to themselves.
Lock all entrances to the
shop when you are away and
DO NOT allow unsupervised
children or visitors in your
shop at any time!
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy
oil to prevent corrosion during shipment. Remove
this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or
degreaser, such as shown in Figure 5. For thor-
ough cleaning, some parts must be removed.
For optimum performance, clean all moving
parts or sliding contact surfaces. Avoid chlo-
rine-based solvents, such as acetone or brake
parts cleaner that may damage painted surfac-
es. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions
when using any type of cleaning product.
Clean Up

products have low flash
points and can explode
or cause fire if used to
