your machine will be placed, then remove the

2. position the stand into the desired location.

3. use the vertical handwheel to raise the head-

stock as far as possible.

4. hang a lifting strap from the fork of a forklift

and place it under the head of the mill/drill, as

Moving & placing

Machine

The Model G0704 is a

heavy machine. Serious

personal injury may occur

if safe moving methods

are not used. To be safe,

get assistance and use

power equipment to move

the shipping crate and

remove the machine from

the crate.

5. unbolt the machine from the pallet, then with

an assistant steadying the machine to pre-
vent it from swinging, lift it slightly off of the
pallet. use the cross handwheel to move the
table forward or backward as necessary to
balance the machine so it hangs as close to
level as possible.

6. lift the machine and carefully place it onto

the stand.

7. bolt the machine to the stand with the four

m10-1.25 x 50 hex bolts and flat washers.

—if you are placing the machine on a work-

bench, it must be securely mounted to the
workbench surface.

the strongest mounting option is a "through
mount" where holes are drilled all the way
through the workbench, and hex bolts, wash-
ers, and hex nuts are used to secure the
machine to the workbench.
