Set-up, Fig. 13
Prepare the workspace in which the machine is to be set
up. Make sure you have enough room in order to make it
possible to work in a safe, undisturbed manner. The ma-
chine is designed to be used in a closed room and must
be set up on a level, firm floor. The machine‘s stability is
provided by tightening the four brackets and M 6 x 12 four
hex bolts, each with a nut and disc on the base.
Transport
The machine may only be transported with appropriate lift-
ingequipment(craneor fork lift). The upper beltwheel
case can be used as a stop collar for the line.
Never lift the sawing table!
Unplug the machine before transport.
