8. The mobile base is now ready for your Professional Cabinet Saw, but before placing the saw on the mobile
base, it is important to rotate the rear hold-down bracket back as far as possible and to rotate the front hold-
down bracket forward as far as possible (see Fig. 8). To safely place the saw into the mobile base, you will
need at least four people to lift the saw o the
oor and then lower it onto the mobile base.
Have one person lift each corner of the cast
iron table top. If your saw has an extension
table, have the two people on the right side
of the saw lift on the extension rails near the
outer corner of the cast iron extension wing,
not at the end of the extension table. If a fth
person is available, it may be easier to have
four people lift the saw and the fth person
slide the base under the saw.
Make sure the mobile base is centered
underneath the table saw and that the foot
pedal is in the front. The saw should sit on the
front and rear support straps extending across
the interior of the mobile base, and the front
of the cabinet should be touching the inside of
the front face of the mobile base frame (see
Fig. 8).
Neverplace fingers,
toesor other body parts
underthe mobile base.
!
WARNING
1. Never place fingers, toes or other
bodyparts under the mobile base.
2. Always use the saw and the mobile
baseon a level surface.
3. Do not continue to step on the foot
pedalonce the upper limit is reached.
4. Lower the saw before use. Never use
thesaw when it is raised off the floor.

9. Locate the two self-tapping screws and the two M4 x 12 x 1 washers. Some cabinet congurations will have
pre-drilled holes for the self-tapping screws. If your saw cabinet does not have pre-drilled holes, or you are
having diculty aligning the holes, rotate the rear hold-down bracket until the top hole is over the at face of
the cabinet. Place one of the M4 x 12 x 1 washers over the end of one of the self-tapping screws and use a
drill with a 1⁄4 inch hex drive bit to mount the rear hold-down bracket to the cabinet, as shown in Fig. 9a. There
is no need to pre-drill a hole for the self-tapping screws, but be careful not to overtighten the screws or the
threads in the cabinet may strip out. Now, rotate the front hold-down bracket until it is vertical and repeat the
same procedure to mount it to the cabinet, as shown in Fig. 9b.
