Securing the Base
The machine should be sited on a level, concrete floor. Provisions for securing it should be in
position prior to placing the machine. The accuracy of any machine depends on the precise
placement of it to the mounting surface.
Verify that the various guards for the machine are in place and functional.
The contact wheel guard and backup plate are mounted and adjusted such that the plate
lightly touches the back of the abrasive belt.
The full safety guard is in place, closed and its door latch is functional such that it will
securely hold the safety door closed.
Prior to operating, carefully read this Operators manual. Insure that all persons who will
operate this machine, or who will work in the vicinity, read understand, and comply with
these instructions.
Insure that the grinder is located in an area that provides clear access to the machine such
that operators have safe and unobstructed access to the machine. The work place should be
free from floor obstructions, trip points, and other faults that may reduce operator safety.
Anchoring the Machine
Once positioned, anchor the machine to the floor, as shown in
the diagram. Use bolts and expansion plugs or sunken tie rods
that connect through and are sized for the holes in the base of
the stand.
This machine requires a solid floor such as concrete at a
minimum of 4” (102mm) thick. 6” (153mm) minimum is preferred.
If you intend to mount the Baileigh machine on a workbench be
aware of the following:
Overall weight of the machine.
Weight of material being processed.
Make sure the workbench is properly reinforced to support the weight.
The strongest mounting option is where the holes are drilled all the way through the
workbench and the machine is secured with bolts, washers, and nuts.
WARNING:
Before operating; make sure it is firmly bolted to a table,
bench, or the floor. If it tips over on you, it could cause severe injury or death.
