You shouldn't need to move the machine very often if you're worried about dust bags etc but more than how much it weighs is the technique you use. I can move Power Masters which are quite a bit heavier on my own. Get a couple of large metal spanners, I use 17mm ones but nut size doesn't matter its the shaft that counts, tip the machine back and slide a spanner sideways just under the front at each end. once you've done this it's easy to pull the machine out. Opposite to move it back. Bren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithm Posted August 27, 2024 Report Share Posted August 27, 2024 Peter is a professional and knows what he's doing. I would never suggest moving a finisher on your own, they can be rather unwieldy at times and if they 'go' you can't hold them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
