PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP

This machine should be installed and operated only on a 

solid, flat and stable floor that is able to support the weight 

of the machine (418 lbs - 190 kg) and the operator. Using 

the dimensions shown as a guideline, plan for placement 

within your shop that will allow the operator to work unen-

cumbered and unobstructed by foot traffic (either pass-

ing shop visitors or other shop workers) or other tools or 

machinery.

ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE

For shops with frequent visitors or multiple operators, it is 

advisable to establish a safety zone around shop machin-

ery. A clearly defined “no-go” zone on the floor around 

each machine can help avoid accidents that could 

cause injury to either the operator or the shop visitor. 
It is advisable to take a few moments to either paint (using 

non-slip paint) or using tape, define on the floor the limits 

or perimeter of each machines safety zone. Take steps to 

ensure that all operators and shop visitors are aware that 

these areas are off limits whenever a machine is running 

for everyone but the individual operating the unit.
