Using Your Mobile Base
1. To move your saw with the mobile base, step down on the foot pedal to raise the saw off the floor and onto
the wheels (see Fig. 17). Step on the foot pedal until the release lever locking screw slides into the locked
position in the release lever. Make
sure that your foot does not come into
contact with the release lever while you
are stepping on the foot pedal to raise
the saw, otherwise the mobile base will
not stay in the raised position.
2. Push the saw to its desired location. The mobile base has two wheels on the left side and two casters on the
right side, and therefore it may be easier to maneuver the saw by pushing from the right side.
3. To unlock the release lever and lower the saw back to the floor, step down on the foot pedal and the release
lever simultaneously (see Fig. 18). Slowly lift your foot upwards to allow the saw to gently lower to the floor. Do
not step on the release lever without having
your foot on the foot pedal or your saw will
lower to the floor rapidly.

Note: The SawStop Contractor Mobile Base
has been engineered to lift saws with or
without extension tables. You do not need an
additional arm extending out from the mobile
base to support your extension table.
However, if you have a SawStop 30” Out-Feed
Table attached you must remove it before
using the mobile base to move your saw.
