although not required, you may choose to mount
your new machine to the floor. Because this is an
optional step and floor materials may vary, floor
mounting hardware is not included. generally, you
can either bolt your machine to the floor or mount
it on machine mounts. Both options are described
below. Whichever option you choose, it is neces-
sary to level your machine with a precision level.
bolting to Concrete floors
lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor
studs (figure 7) are two popular methods for
anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We sug-
gest you research the many options and methods
for mounting your machine and choose the best
that fits your specific application.

using Machine Mounts
using machine mounts, shown in figure 8, gives
the advantage of fast leveling and vibration reduc-
tion. the large size of the foot pads distributes
the weight of the machine to reduce strain on the
floor.
NOTICE
Anchor studs are stronger and more per-
manent alternatives to lag shield anchors;
however, they will stick out of the floor,
which may cause a tripping hazard if you
decide to move your machine.

NOTICE
We strongly recommend securing your
machine to the floor if it is hardwired to the
power source. Consult with your electrician
to ensure compliance with local codes.
