the base to allow for the installation of leveling

Thoughsecuringthebenchtotheoorisnot

be used for this purpose (to avoid interference
with the existing threads, use

Lag screws and anchors, or anchor studs
(below), are two popular methods for securing
machinery to a concrete floor. We suggest you
research the many options and methods for
securing your machine and choose the best one
for your specific application.

DO NOT use impact tools to secure the legs
to the floor. The impact associated with these
tools could crack the cast iron. Tighten all
floor mounting hardware by hand.
Failure to properly cross-brace the Model
SB1354 will result in a significantly reduced
maximum weight capacity and could cause
the bench to collapse under heavy vertical or
lateral loading. Collapse can result in crushing
injuries and/or property damage.
