Moving & placing
Base Unit
The Model G0513/G0514 is
a heavy machine. Serious
personal injury may occur
if safe moving methods
are not used. To be safe,
get assistance and use
power equipment to move
the shipping crate and
remove the machine from
the crate.
To move and place the bandsaw:
1.
unbolt the bandsaw from the pallet.
2. install the eye bolt shown in figure 13 if it is
not already installed (make sure it is threaded
all the way in), then place the lifting hook
through the eye bolt and lift slowly with a
forklift.

Model g0513/g0514 (Mfg. since 8/02+)
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. you
can either bolt your machine to the floor or mount
your machine to a mobile base that has wheel
locking or wheel retracting capabilities that keeps
the mobile base from rolling when not in use.
Whichever option you choose, it is necessary to
level your machine with a precision level.
Bolting to concrete floors
lag shield anchors with lag bolts (figure 14) and
anchor studs are two popular methods for anchor-
ing 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 studs are stronger and more per-
manent alternatives to lag shield anchors;
however, they will stick out of the floor,
which may cause a tripping hazard if you
decide to move your machine.
