Placing Sander

Figure 9. Lifting the sander.

The Model G0449/G0450

has a shipping weight of

1190/1275 lbs. Serious

personal injury may occur

if safe moving meth-

ods are not followed. To

be safe, get assistance

and use power equip-

ment when moving the

crate and removing the

machine from the crate.

To place the sander in a permanent location:

1. Unbolt the sander from the pallet.

2. Position the forklift forks directly above the

sander. Place two lifting straps with hooks on
the ends over the forklift forks and slide the
hooks into the points shown in

Figure 9.

Use lifting straps with a combined minimum

of 1500 lbs. lifting capacity. If lifting straps

break, serious personal injury may occur.

3. Lift the sander and move it to your predeter-

mined location. DO NOT lift it any higher than
is necessary to clear the floor.

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.

Bolting to Wood Floors

The most secure method of mounting this drum
sander to a wood floor is using

⁄

" hex bolts with

flat washers, and securing the bolts from under
the floor with flat washers, lock washers and hex
nuts. Use lag bolts with washers only if you do not
have access to the underside of the floor.

Bolting to Concrete Floors

Lag shield anchors with

⁄

" lag bolts or anchor

studs (

Figure 10) 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.

NOTICE

Concrete anchor studs are stronger and

more permanent alternatives to lag shield

anchors; however, they will stick out of the

floor, causing a tripping hazard if you decide

to move your machine at a later point.
