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 off
the floor 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 fifth person is available, it
may be easier to have four people lift the saw and
the fifth 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).

9. Locate the two self-tapping screws and the two M4.3 x 12 washers. Rotate the rear hold-down bracket until
the top hole is over the flat face of the cabinet. Place one of the M4.3 x 12 washers over the end of one of
the self-tapping screws and use a drill with a
1

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.
