Lifting & Moving
HEAVY LIFT!
Straining or crushing injury may occur from
improperly lifting machine or some of its parts.
To reduce this risk, get help from other people
and use a forklift (or other lifting equipment)
rated for weight of this machine.
To lift and place machine:
The model ST1013 requires the use of lifting equip-
ment, such as a forklift, engine hoist, or boom crane.
DO NOT lift the machine by hand.
3. Unbolt jointer from pallet, then lift machine off
pallet and onto suitable location.
1. Remove crate from shipping pallet, then with
jointer still on pallet, move to installation
location.
2. Wrap lifting straps around infeed and outfeed
tables, as shown in Figure 10. Then attach lift-
ing strap ends to forklift forks, a hoist, or other
powered lifting equipment.
Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping or
shifting and reduces vibration that may occur during
operation, resulting in a machine that runs slightly
quieter and feels more solid.
If the machine will be installed in a commercial or
workplace setting, or if it is permanently connected
(hardwired) to the power supply, local codes may
require that it be anchored to the floor.
If not required by any local codes, fastening the
machine to the floor is an optional step. If you choose
not to do this with your machine, we recommend
placing it on machine mounts, as these provide an
easy method for leveling and they have vibration-ab-
sorbing pads.

Anchoring to Concrete Floors
Figure 10. Correct placement of lifting straps.
Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below) are a
popular way to anchor machinery to a concrete floor,
because the anchors sit flush with the floor surface,
making it easy to unbolt and move the machine later,
if needed. However, anytime local codes apply, you
MUST follow the anchoring methodology specified
by the code.
