5. HANDLING AND INSTALLATION

5.1 HANDLING

For long distance the machine may be transported on lorries or train wagons.
See "2. Technical specifications" for the weight and the size of the machine.
Fig 10
The saw is usually supplied packaged in plastic or strapped, and palletized. If so, the machine can be easily
moved, loaded or unloaded with a normal lift truck of suitable lifting capacity (Fig 10).
If, on the other hand, the machine is shipped without being palletized then it must be lifted using a crane and ropes
or chains with a suitable capacity and marked as such (Fig 11 & 12).
WARNING!
Before starting to lift the machine make sure that all movable parts have been securely fastened.
Ensure that the crane's lifting capacity is suitable for the machine. Lift the machine carefully and move it slowly,
avoiding bumps or sudden movements.
DANGER!
The lifting and transporting operations can be extremely dangerous if not carried out with maximum caution. Move
all unqualified personnel away from the area. Clean, clear and close off the installation area. Check the condition
and suitability of the equipment available. Do not touch the suspended loads and remain at a safe distance from
them. During transportation, the loads must not be lifted more than 20 centimeters from the ground. Finally,
prepare an adequate space as an escape route in the event that the load should fall.
WARNING!
The surface onto which the machine is to be placed must be perfectly level in order to prevent any
possible shifting of the load.
Once the machine has been lifted onto the lorry or train wagon male sure that it is locked into position, by securing
it firmly to the base by means of ropes or chains.
When it has reached its destination, before releasing the machine from its constraints, check that the condition and
position of the machine are not hazardous. Then remove the ropes or chains and unload the machine using the
same means and methods used to load it.

5.2 INSTALLATION

Inspect the machine to ensure that it is not damaged and proceed with its positioning.
When choosing the machine position it is recommended to consider:
- That the chosen position is not humid and that it is sheltered from atmospheric agents;
- That the surface is perfectly level, it is a non-slip surface and that its bearing capacity is suitable for the weight of
the machine;
- That there is adequate, free space around the machine;
- That the location in which the machine is installed is guarded or enclosed, to prevent children or unauthorized
persons from accessing the machine;
- That suitable, approved lighting is provided;
