Read these guidelines through fully before you move or lift the machine onto a stand or workbench.
What you need
- Four healthy and reasonably fit people
- Level
- Adjustable wrench
Lift the machine
Recruit four healthy and reasonably fit people to help lift the machine onto a workbench or the optional stand.
Position the workbench or stand near ventilation and a standard 110 V / 60 Hz outlet. Do not use an extension cord: the current your laser draws can easily overload one.
-
Make sure the stand or workbench is secure and in place. If you are using the optional stand, set the brakes on all 4 wheels.
Put one person at each corner, with the stronger two at the rear of the machine. Do not lift by, or put any pressure on, the laser tube extension.
On the count of three, lift straight up as a team, using only your leg and buttock muscles. Once everyone is fully upright, a fifth person can quickly pull the base of the crate out of the way.
Take small side steps towards the stand or workbench. Tell your teammates if your grip is slipping and you need a moment to readjust.
-
On a workbench: set down the rear rubber feet first, then quickly move those two people to the front of the machine to help pivot one side at a time, until all four feet are in position. Pivot the machine systematically. Pushing it can damage the rubber feet.
On the optional stand: position the rubber feet over the pre-made holes.
Keeping your head and back upright, squat down together until all four rubber feet are in their holes and the base of the machine begins to rest on the top of the stand. Do not release your corner until everyone confirms that the rubber foot at their corner is seated properly in its hole.
Check with your team that no fingers are trapped between the base of the machine and the stand, then release the load together.
Roll the stand and machine together to their place.
Lower the leveling feet on each corner by turning them counterclockwise.
Using a level and an adjustable wrench, adjust each leveling foot in turn until the machine is perfectly level.
Lifting technique: Place your feet as close to the machine as possible, shoulder width apart. Confirm that everyone is in position with a good grip, and agree exactly when to lift before you count off. Keep your head and back upright and your abdominal muscles tight as you lift.
