It says must be mounted 7feet off floor. Is this just for safety? Are is it for proper operating of unit?

I hung mine with 4 chains attached to the floor joists in my basement shop which puts the Jet 64" from the floor and 9" from the ceiling (joist). The first 6 months I had it operation on top of an old lamp stand and it worked well there also. I needed the floor space so mounted it from the joists. I use the wireless to turn it on and set it for the time to shut off and the speed I want it to run. It does a great job in my shop even though most of my tools have vacuums connected to them. I highly recommend this for you wood shop. MB

I think that recommendation is their airborne estimate for the average shop and the safety aspect just keeps you from hitting your head as you walk around. I mounted mine on a home made roller base, so I can roll it around my shop and store it under my Saw Stop table saw extension. It is about 24" off the floor. I move it to where I am cutting, thus it can clean the air in a specific cutting area vs. the dust flying, as when I am sanding, and trying to do the whole shop from a stationary point. This works well for my 950 sq. ft. shop. I also have a dust collector hooked to a Y for the table and cross cut saw. Hope this helps.

I never saw a notice to mount it a minimum of 7 feet off the floor. Mine is mounted about 1.5 feet down from a 10 foot ceiling so with the height of the unit makes it about 7+ feet off the floor. It is mounted over a workbench so there is no danger of hitting it with work pieces moving around, but it seems like the right height for the unit. I would think that you could mount it at any height that would make sure you don't hit it with moving your work pieces around. As for operating the unit, it seems to me that the closer you can place it to the source of dust and airborne particulates, is the best place to mount it.

for safety, this unit is large, for large shops, moves an awful lot of air but works great

The unit is nothing more than a squirrel cage fan like the one on your furnace. It draws the air through a filter and it can be mounted where ever it will draw the air for your application. The height recommendation is a safety thing so you don't hit it if you move under it--unless you are very tall!I like mine a lot.
574321
I think the answer is both. The height permits normal sized people to walk beneath it without danger of head injury. It also is the best position from which to collect airborne particles. Mine is hung from the ceiling joists with chains directly above the area where the bench saw, and mobile station for compound mitre saw, router and jointer are located. All are equipped with vaccum dust removal, but the Jet unit is immensely helfpul in removing airborne particulate matter. Using the remote control timer, leave it running for a couple hours after you finish your work. A great buy.

The owner's manual shows heater can be wall mounted or put directly on the floor, though it also states heater is designed to be mounted on the wall. Mine is wall mounted and I don't recall feet being included, plus the gas line comes out of the bottom so I don't know how the on-floor would work. Perhaps you could download a copy of the manual to get a better idea. Great little heater.

Mine is wall mounted but I took a look at it and it appears to me that the sensor and lights should all have the needed range of motion for a successful soffit mount.

I don't think the unit would function properly unless attached above floor level to a wall. The wall attachment gives the stability to the unit along with the crossbars and the bottom of the tires sit thru the middle of the crossbars and extend thru an extra inch or two if the tires and bars are positioned properly. I don't believe it should be used as a floor unit.

I have not used it on a floor , you might want to contact a wood floor installer with this question , just to be on the safe side.

I mounted them in studs to be on the safe side. While anchor screws may hold the unit tight against the wall, I would not want to risk having my two boards come crashing to my concrete garage floor. Good luck!

I have had this safe for sometime now, it can be bolted down in a closet I know, I don't see why it could be in a floor as well with the right bolts because you have to go inside the safe to unscrew it, just so you know as well, im still on the same battery that I started off with, it is very sturdy and heavy for a safe this size and holds quite a bit of stuff, hope this answers your question and any others that it may pose

I have one installed. I never thought about stepping on it until this question, so off I went into the area of the basement that nobody goes into to give it a test. In my installation, it's not particularly easy to step on due to the pipe placement, but I did manage it. It flexed as I did so and doesn't feel particularly safe, I wouldn't advise it for more than an accidental step while working on other equipment in the area. I wouldn't ever install it in a place where I would step on normally or with any frequency.

Well,I mounted mine onto a stable table,then bolted it down.This way you have the stability of the router table not moving or shifting in the process of work.For using the table while traveling to work site,I would recommend it be placed on another object were it is more stable,so vibration,doesnt interfer with movement.

I put mine in basement bolted to concrete floor. My thinking was if you have a house fire..if safe is on ground floor it may get covered if 1st floor collapses down on it...but you would know exact area of safe. If mounted on second floor...you may have to search for it. It gives you instructions on how to bolt to wood or concrete or you can look up instructions online. I am sure people bolt to wood/laminate flooring....people that live in apartments do not have a concrete floor.

Mine is installed horizontally between two floor joists and so far it is working good. It replaces a fan intended for horizontal but I installed it in a ceiling (vertical) and it lasted a year before going out. Using a fan opposite of what it is intended for can be hard on the bearings. My guess is this one would be OK either way, but contacting the manufacturer would be the safest way to go.

For safety measures, it is not recommended to be flush mounted. It is intended to be hung only.

You can install it at any height you want. I installed ours a half inch off the floor for the same reason.

It installs by hooking keyhole slots over screw heads, so no, without special effort on your part it is not particularly theft proof. In my case the unit is mounted about 10 feet above the ground; it triggers over a range of 10-12 horizontal feet for me, which was about what I was hoping for.

I mounted it between a cabinet and the stove. It needs to be secured on the floor, back wall and to the countertop. I have had no problems with it there

There is a safety strap that attaches to the wall and the top of the unit. It needs to be mounted into a wall stud with the correct hardware. If mounted correctly it will prevent the possibility of the unit falling forward.

The base if flat and any cable under it would make the unit unstable. If I remember correctly, a cable can be run up the center of the support column.
