Positioning And Anchoring - Acer Wood Runner Manual

in the airlines and valves may freeze and cause machine malfunction if the temperature drops
below freezing. Temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit may shorten the life of electronic
components.
 SPACE: Minimum space requirements are shown on the installation drawings provided with your
machine. It is important to allow enough room for access to machine parts for service and loading.
The drawing shows the minimum space - more space generally will allow for more efficient and
safer operation and loading.
 REQUIRED FLOOR: The floor must be concrete and a minimum of 4" in thickness to allow the
machine to be securely anchored. The floor should be reasonably flat and level. Proper anchoring
and leveling is critical for proper machine operation and safety.

4.3 POSITIONING AND ANCHORING

 Careful consideration should be given to the site selected for the Wood Runner. Ample room must be
provided to facilitate the loading of the machine and for service or maintenance. Once the site is chosen
it will be necessary to securely anchor the machine to the floor. Installation drawings are included with
the machine. Roughly layout the entire system according to your installation drawings to check for
clearances before anchoring. Check to make sure that you have adequate clearance for forklift access
and lumber exiting the saw.
 Experience has shown that it is best to level and anchor your saw first according to the saw
manufacturer's instructions.
 Once the saw is anchored, position the Infeed Deck, level and anchor it. Set the height adjustment on
the deck to correspond with the installed height of the saw according to the installation drawings.
 Do not place the Gantry onto the Runway until the Runway is properly anchored and leveled.
 The Runway should be positioned and anchored after the Infeed Deck. Anchoring and leveling the
Runway is critical for safety and machine performance. You must use a 7" long 2x4 block with a 48"
level to plumb the guide tubes at each adjusting point. See the installation drawings for the correct
procedure.
