causing serious injury.
1. Put on work gloves and eye protection.
2. Cut and remove the steel straps on the shipping crate
with snips.
3. Disassemble the shipping crate with a hammer and pry
bar. Start with removing the top, followed by the four
sides.

l Photograph any damage that may have occurred
during shipping.
l Verify the received goods against the packing list.
If there is any damage or shortages, you must contact
Tormach within 30 days of receipt. Create a support
ticket with Tormach Technical Support at

5. Find the accessory box inside the Machine Stand, which
contains the feet for the Machine Stand. Set it aside for
later installation.
6. Remove the shipping bolts on the coolant tank, and then
move it out of the Machine Stand and off of the pallet.
7. In the coolant tank, find four casters and their hardware.
8. Attach each of the four casters to the bottom of the
coolant tank with four M6 × 12 mm socket head cap
screws, spring washers, and flat washers. Then, set the
coolant tank aside for later installation.
9. Remove the four nuts securing the Machine Stand to the
pallet with a 17 mm wrench. Discard the four nuts.

CAUTION! Team Lift Required:You must have
the aid of more than one person to lift and
move the object. The object is heavy, and lifting
it by yourself can cause serious injury.

the cardboard that you put on the floor in Step 10.

Stand on.
12. Open the accessory box that you set aside in Step 5, and
then identify the hardware inside (which is used to
assemble the feet for the Machine Stand).
Note: There are four large spacers in the

feet for a 770M/MXmill. If you're assembling
the feet for an 1100M/MX mill, discard the
spacers.
