Securing Roller Table to Machinery
Use the optional T28378 Mounting Plate to con-
nect roller tables to a machine.
The dynamic forces involved with process-
ing large/heavy workpieces may cause
unsecured roller tables to shift during cut-
ting operations, which could result in kick-
back injuries, depending on the type of
machine being used. To reduce this risk,
properly secure roller tables to both infeed
and outfeed side of machine.

Note: If machine does not have existing
mounting holes, you will need to drill them
yourself.
To avoid machine damage and possible
electrocution/shock hazard, inspect work-
bench or machine to avoid drilling into wir-
ing or important internal components.
