W1772/W1773 37" Drum Sander
SET UP
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.
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.

to concrete floors.
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.
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.
