This mobile base features welded, heavy-gauge
steel supports with a bolt-on foot lever, a single
swivel caster, and two sturdy wheels. Rubber
feet positioned opposite the fixed wheels assure
stable contact when the base is lowered into
the stationary position. The convenient foot
lever raises and lowers the base for ease in
moving and positioning the machine, and allows
the machine to be moved aside for cleaning
purposes.

until the base is fully assembled.
NoTE: The saw frame (S) Fig. 1 comes fully
assembled. User must attach fixed wheels, angle
brackets, rubber feet, swivel caster, foot pedal
assembly and J bolt anchors.

PLACiNG SAW AND EXTENSioN TABLE
oN MoBiLE BASE
RiSK oF iNJURY FRoM
LiFTiNG. Serious injury can result from
attempting to lift too heavy an object. The
machine can weigh more than 550 pounds and
is too heavy to be lifted by one person. Obtain
assistance from others before lifting.
PiNCH HAZARD. Be sure not
to place toes or fingers underneath the base
of the Unisaw while moving. Lift the saw from
underneath the table, before saw is assembled,
or from underneath the wings and extension
table after assembly.
Carefully lift saw and extension table onto mobile
base. Make sure extension legs (EE) Fig. 7 rest
on angle brackets (I) as shown.
ASSEMBLiNG J BoLTS To ANGLE BRACKETS
The J bolts are required to join the base to the
extension table legs and will keep the table legs
resting properly on the base while moving the
base.
1. Place 1/4-20 hex nut (S) Fig. 7 on J-bolt
(P) and screw it on until it bottoms out on
threads.
2. Make sure J bolt (P) Fig. 7 is around leveling
screw (GG) on extension leg (EE) as shown
in Fig. 7.
3. Insert J bolt (P) Fig. 1 and Fig. 7 through hole
(FF) Fig. 3 in angle bracket (I).
4. Adjust hex nut (S) until it touches the angle
bracket (I).
5. Place a 1/4" flat washer (Q) Fig. 7 on J bolt
(P) and fasten it to angle bracket (I) using a
1/4-20 Nylon lock nut (R). Tighten nut using
7/16" wrench.
6. Repeat for J bolt (P) on the other angle
bracket (I).
oPERATiNG MoBiLE BASE
NoTE: Before operating the base, apply grease
to the cams (HH) Fig. 8 and where they meet the
foot pedal bracket (AA).
When the foot pedal (II) is pushed down as
shown in Figure 9, the base is mobile.
To reduce the risk of injury, do
not operate the saw when the base is mobile
(when the foot pedal (ii) is pushed down as
shown in Fig. 9).
When the foot pedal (II) is raised (as shown in
Figure 10), the base is lowered down to the floor
so it does not move. If the saw is not level in this
position, you can adjust the two extension table
legs (EE) Fig. 7 on your Unisaw using the leveling
screw (GG).
To reduce the risk of injury,
when lifting on foot pedal (II) Fig. 9 to lower the
saw down and make it stationary, be careful as
the pedal swings back with force. Stay clear of
the motion of this pedal.
To reduce the risk of injury,
make sure that your feet are clear of the base
before lowering the unit.
Figure 11 shows a Unisaw correctly attached to
the mobile base.
