Floor Load
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet on Page 3 for
the weight and footprint specifications of your
machine. Some residential floors may require
additional reinforcement to support both the
machine and operator.
Placement Location
Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of
material to be processed through each machine,
and space for auxiliary stands, work tables, other
machinery, and the operator when establishing a
location for your new machine. See Figure
8 for
the minimum clearance dimensions.

NOTICE

which may cause a tripping hazard if you
decide to move your machine
.

the floor or mount it on the included machine
feet. Although not required, we recommend that
you bolt your new lathe to the floor. Because this
is an optional step and floor materials may vary,
only machine feet are included with your lathe.
Whichever option you choose, it is necessary to
level your machine with a precision level.

Lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor
studs (Figure

anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We sug

for mounting your machine and choose the best
that fits your specific application.
