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 sander (453 lbs - 206 kgs) and the operator.
Using the dimensions shown as a guideline, plan for pla-
cement within your shop that will allow the operator to
work unencumbered and unobstructed by foot traffic
(either passing 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 ma-
chinery. 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.
LIFTING AND HANDLING THE MACHINE
A forklift with steel cable or a hydraulic hand pallet truck
will be required to lift the sander.
Note: Before lifting the sander, unscrew the hex head wood
screws securing the machine to it’s shipping crate
, using
the supplied 14 mm open end wrench or a 14 mm socket
wrench.
The four 1/2” Hex. bolts and nuts
are for bolting the sander
to the floor, for optional permanent installation.
