Unpack the Machine Crate

Tools and Items Required

  • 19 mm socket wrench

  • Phillips screwdriver

  • Safety eyewear that meets ANSI Z87+

  • Snips

  • Wood blocks

  • Work gloves

CAUTION! Sharp Objects Hazard: Before opening the shipping crate, you must put on work gloves and safety eyewear that meets ANSI Z87+. If you don't, the shipping crate and steel straps could cut you, 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. Remove the screws from the bottom of the crate with a Phillips screwdriver.

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.

  1. Before you lift the top of the shipping crate off of the pallet, verify that you have assistance to help you. We recommend lifting it with at least two people.

  2. Remove the top of the shipping crate and set it aside.

  3. Remove and discard the plastic wrap from the machine.

  4. Inspect the item(s):

  • Photograph any damage that may have occurred during shipping.

  • 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 tormach.com/how-to-submit-a-support-ticket for guidance on how to proceed.

  1. Identify the toolbox inside the machine's enclosure. Set the toolbox aside for now — it includes the machine's four leveling feet, which you'll need later in the installation procedure.
