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.
Children and visitors may be
seriously injured if unsuper-
vised. Lock all entrances to
the shop when you are away.
DO NOT allow unsupervised
children or visitors in your
shop at any time!

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.

concrete floors.
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.
Generally, you can either bolt your machine to
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.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor
studs (
Figure 9) 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.
