Working Clearance
Weight Load
Refer to the Machine Specifications for the weight
of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon
which the machine is placed will bear the weight
of the machine, additional equipment that may be
installed on the machine, and the heaviest workpiece
that will be used. Additionally, consider the weight
of the operator and any dynamic loading that may
occur when operating the machine.
Space Allocation
Consider the largest size of workpiece that will
be processed through this machine and provide
enough space around the machine for adequate
operator material handling or the installation of
auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,
leave enough space around the machine to open
or remove doors/covers as required by the main-
tenance and service described in this manual. See
below for required space allocation.
Physical Environment
The physical environment where the machine is
operated is important for safe operation and longev-
ity of machine components. For best results, operate
this machine in a dry environment that is free from
excessive moisture, hazardous chemicals, airborne
abrasives, or extreme conditions. Extreme conditions
for this type of machinery are generally those where
the ambient temperature range exceeds 41°–104°F;
the relative humidity range exceeds 20%–95% (non-
condensing); or the environment is subject to vibra-
tion, shocks, or bumps.
Electrical Installation
Place this machine near an existing power source.
Make sure all power cords are protected from traf-
fic, material handling, moisture, chemicals, or other
hazards. Make sure to leave enough space around
machine to disconnect power supply or apply a lock-
out/tagout device, if required.
Lighting
Lighting around the machine must be adequate
enough that operations can be performed safely.
Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract or
impede the operator must be eliminated.
Children or untrained people
may be seriously injured by this
machine. Only install in an access
restricted location.
