Machine Setup
Basic Setup
1. Position the machine where it will be located on the
shop floor. When positioning the machine, consider the
type of work which will be done on it so you allow sufficient
room not only for the workpieces, but also for service to the
machine.
2. Open the door in the base of the machine and, using the
holes in the base as a template, mark the floor for the
position of the hold-down bolts.
3. Move the machine to expose the hold-down bolt marks
and install anchors for the hold-down bolts.
4. Put the machine back over the hold-down anchors and
bolt the machine securely to the shop floor. THIS MUST BE
DONE FOR SAFE OPERATION OF THE MACHINE.
5. Establish an electrical service connection to the ma-
chine. This will vary according to the model purchased. ALL
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS SHOULD BE MADE BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN WHO IS FAMILIAR WITH YOUR
STATE AND LOCAL CODES. Many models of these ma-
chines make use of high voltages which pose a significant
risk of serious injury or DEATH if proper knowledge and
precautions are not used. Electrical instructions are in-
cluded in the Electrical section of these Machine Setup
instructions.
6. Machines with belts are shipped with the belts in slack
condition. During the electrical hookup phase of machine
setup, the belt will have to be tightened and checked for
tracking. See the Belt Replacement section for instructions
on this procedure.
