4.0 Machine Placement
When unpacking the SmartShop|Maker, separate all enclosed items from the packing materials
and inspect each for damage. Save the packaging materials until all issues concerning missing or
damaged items have been resolved.
4.1 Placement
Select the area where the SmartShop|Maker will be operated. The physical environment where
the SmartShop|Maker is located is important to safe assembly and operation. Before removing
the SmartShop|Maker from its packaging consider the weight load, electrical installation
requirements, lighting, dust collection, and space allocation available for the machine and
accompanying materials.
Guidelines for properly placing the machine follow:
1. There should be sufficient area around the machine to facilitate easy access to the
workpiece, perform maintenance, and provide safe egress in the event of an emergency.
2. Select a solid level floor rated to hold the weight of the SmartShop|Maker and workpieces
under both static and dynamic loads. Laguna Tools recommends concrete flooring. Consult a
licensed and experienced professional if in doubt.
3. Locate the SmartShop|Maker near a power source and dust collector.
4. Allow an area for the storage of workpiece materials, finished products, and tools.
5. Leave ample space around the machine for the operator to handle both the equipment and
the materials being cut.
6. Leave enough space around the machine to open or remove doors/covers as required by the
maintenance described in the Owner’s Manual.
4.2 Dust Collection
Allow enough space for proper dust collection from the SmartShop|Maker. For optimal operation,
ensure that the machine is located in a dry environment free from excessive moisture, extreme
weather conditions, hazardous chemicals, or airborne abrasives.
