Floor
Since your dust collector will be hardwired to the
power source, we strongly recommend secur-
ing your machine to the floor. Consult with your
electrician to ensure compliance with applicable
codes. Because floor materials may vary, floor
mounting hardware is not included.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor
studs (Figure 16) are two popular methods for
anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We sug-
gest you research the many options for mounting
your machine and choose the one that best fits
your specific application.
NOTICE
Anchor studs (see Figure 16) are stronger
and more permanent alternatives to lag
shield anchors; however, they will stick out
of the floor, presenting a tripping hazard if
you decide to move your machine.
