Installing Your Mobile Base - Method 2
3. Loosen the M8 x 65 countersunk socket head bolt
that mounts the front leg to the front rail, but do not
remove the bolt or nut. Use the 5 mm short-arm hex
key supplied with the mobile base to keep the bolt
from turning while you loosen the nut with a 13 mm
wrench (see Fig. 1). The 5 mm short-arm hex key
is sized so that it can engage the head of the bolt
without having to remove the front rail tube. Repeat
the procedure to loosen the M8 hex nut on the back of
the M8 x 65 countersunk socket head bolt that mounts
the rear leg to the rear rail. Rotate the end of each
support leg toward the saw so that both support legs
are out of the way and the saw can be tipped onto its
side.

5. Locate all of the mobile base components shown on page 1. All of the hardware needed to install the mobile
base is located on the hardware pack (see Fig. 3). In order to easily identify the hardware used in each of
the following steps, the different pieces of hardware are numbered on the hardware pack and in the figures.
If you are missing the hardware pack or any of the other mobile base components, call the SawStop Service
Department at 503-582-9934 for replacements.
You will need the following tools to complete the
mobile base installation:
• a 5 mm hex key
• a 6 mm hex key

4. With the front and rear rails are securley mounted, any out-feed table removed, and the extension table legs
removed or rotated out of the way, the saw can be tipped to the side. To make the saw easier to tip, adjust the
tilt handwheel until the blade is set at 45° to the table. Make sure the saw is on a level surface and then, with
the help of an assistant, grip the sides of the rails near the ends and push down to gently lower the rails to the
ground (see Fig. ). Do not grip an extension table or the end of the rails to lower the saw to the tipped position
because you might pinch your fingers between the extension table or rails and the ground. The rear rail is
shorter than the front rail and typically
will not touch the ground. To prevent
scratching the rails, you can set the
edge of the front rail on a piece of
cardboard or cloth.
