Machine Placement
When choosing where to place the machine, consider that the Model 8250 will shake the
surrounding area. The machine should not be placed near delicate instruments.
To minimize the effect on the surrounding area, the machine must be bolted in place.
There should be at least 32 inches (80cm) clearance between the rear studs and any wall
or obstructions, and 18 inches (45cm) between the studs and any obstructions to the side.
Figure 3-1 illustrates proper machine placement.
Figure 3-1. Foundation Layout
For correct operation and reliable results, the machine must be level and mounted directly
to the foundation. Do not use any rubber pads, shims, or vibration isolators between the
machine and the foundation. If the foundation is not level, shims with machine grout can
be used. The foundation must contact the entire surface of the machine base.
