Lifting & Moving
This lathe and its parts are
heavy! Serious personal
injury may occur if safe
moving methods are not
used. To reduce the risk of
a lifting or dropping injury,
ask others for help and use
power equipment.
Do not attempt to lift or move this lathe without
using the proper lifting equipment (such as
forklift or crane) or the necessary assistance from
other people. Each piece of lifting equipment
must be rated for at least 750 lbs. to support
dynamic loads that may be applied while lifting.
Refer to Required For Setup on Page 14 for
details.
