Preparing the Work Area
The PT-55 is a table-top machine which needs to be placed on a flat, stable surface in a well lit
area that is a minimum of 6’ high x 6’ wide x 3‘deep (2m x 2m x 1m). When positioning the PT-55,
choose an area that is not located below overhead gantries, walkways or power lines to ensure
objects or liquids cannot be dropped on the machine from overhead.
Choose a table that is at least 24” wide by 15” deep to provide sufficient space for the assembled
machine.
Ideally the table height should be adjustable so the machine height can be easily adjusted to suit
operators of varying heights. The objective is to position the PT-55 controls so they are easily
accessible for operation and maintenance. The suggested level is 36” (900 mm) above the floor,
but this may vary from one operator to another.
The table’s working surface should have a slope of no more than 5 degrees and be capable of
supporting a load of 25 pounds (11 kg).
