• Floor Load: This machine distributes a
heavy load in a small footprint. Some
residential floors may require additional
bracing to support both machine and
operator.
• Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough
to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.
• Electrical: Electrical circuits must be
dedicated or large enough to handle
amperage requirements. Outlets must be
located near each machine, so power or
extension cords are clear of high-traffic
areas. Follow local electrical codes for
proper installation of new lighting, outlets,
or circuits.
MAKE your shop “child
safe.” Ensure that your
workplace is inaccessible
to children by closing and
locking all entrances when
you are away. NEVER allow
untrained visitors in your
shop when assembling,
adjusting or operating
equipment.
Machine Placement
USE helpers or power lift-
ing equipment to lift this
dust collector. Otherwise,
serious personal injury
may occur.
Although not required, we recommend
that you mount your new machine to the
floor. Because this is an optional step and
floor materials may vary, floor mounting
hardware is not included.
We also recommend that you use a
precision level to level your dust collector
for smooth operation of the motor and
impeller.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Anchor studs and lag screws and anchors
( Figure 6) are two popular methods for
anchoring an object to a concrete floor.
We suggest you research the many options
and methods for mounting your machine
and choose the best that fits your specific
application.

Anchor Stud
NOTICE
Anchor studs are stronger and more
permanent alternatives to lag shield
anchors; however, they will stick out of
the floor, which may cause a tripping
hazard later if you decide to move
your machine.
