Base Plate Material
The best material for the base plate is a natural wood plywood (hardwood plywood is best). Avoid using OSB, MDF, or particle board, as these materials are generally not strong enough to hold heavy machinery for a long period of time.
3
4" plywood is recommended to make the base plate, with the included 40mm flat head screws. However, 30mm flat head screws are also includ-
1
ed for use with
3
4", longer flat head screws must be acquired
2 " plywood. For base plates over
separately. Use good judgement to determine the material that best fits your needs.
Preparing Base Plate for Assembly
The size requirements of the base plate vary depending on the size and weight of the machine you plan to put on the mobile base. The purpose of this section is to help you decide the size of base plate that works best for your machine.
Operating machinery on an unsecured mobile base may allow the machine to shift unexpectedly, which could result in accidental contact with the cutting device or other moving parts.
If the machine is top-heavy or has a narrow base, there is an increased risk of tipping when moving it around on a mobile base. To reduce this risk, make your base plate wider than the machine base (see Figure 2). Always secure the machine to the base plate for added stability—this will reduce the risk of tipping the machine over when moving it around the shop. See instructions for mounting the machine on Page 5.
To prepare base plate:
1. Measure footprint of machine base.

2. Cut base plate to chosen measurements.
— If you plan on making the base plate
the same dimensions as the machine base, add 1" to the width and the depth. This extra space will make mounting eas­ier and will hardly be noticeable once the machine is mounted.
— If you plan on making the base plate larger
than the machine base to increase stabil­ity, don't make the base plate so large it becomes a tripping hazard.
3. Use a corner bracket as a template and mark mounting hole locations on each corner of the base plate.

4. Drill
8" mounting holes at marked locations.
Note: Think about the final appearance of
your mobile base. If you are concerned about how the exposed portions of the base plate will look in your shop, paint or finish the base plate before completing the assembly.

Assembling Mobile Base
1. Attach swivel caster to each front corner
bracket with (4) M8-1.25 x 16 hex bolts and (4) M8-1.25 lock nuts (see Figure 3).
3. Attach foot pedal to each front corner bracket with M8-1.25 x 50 shoulder bolt and M8-1.25 lock nut (see Figure 5).

5. Slide top plate tabs into left front corner bracket (see Figure 7). Attach bracket and top plate to base plate with (3) M8-1.25 flat head screws and (3) M8-1.25 flange nuts.
Note: 40mm flat head screws are used with
3
4" base plate and 30mm flat head screws are
used with

Adjusting Rubber Feet
The height of the rubber feet can be adjusted to stabilize the machine. To ensure the machine does not move during operations, always make sure the adjustable rubber feet (see Figure 9) are firmly touching the ground before operating the machine.

6. Repeat Step 5 for each corner bracket.
Note: Ensure fixed casters are oriented in
direction machine will typically be moved (see Figure 8). Mounting fixed casters in wrong direction will make it difficult to move mobile base around in small spaces.

Typical Direction of Movement
To adjust rubber foot height:
1. Loosen hex nut on each foot to allow foot
(see Figure 9) to move up or down as need­ed.

2. With all casters on the ground, lower each
foot to firmly touch the ground without lifting caster.

Lifting heavy machinery or parts without proper assistance or equipment
injuries, crushing injuries,
4. Raise foot pedals up to lift rubber feet and move machine (see Figure 10).
3. Position machine near front or center of base
plate, so mobile base will not be a tripping hazard.
4. Drill mounting holes of appropriate size using machine stand as template.
Foot Pedal
Figure 10. Foot pedal raised.
IMPORTANT: When moving the mobile base, the
rubber feet should not touch the floor. Likewise, when operating the machine, ensure that the rub­ber feet are fixed firmly against the floor to provide stability, without lifting casters.
Mounting Machine to Mobile Base
1. Lower rubber feet to ensure mobile base is secure (see Adjusting Rubber Feet on Page 4).
2. With the help of an assistant, place machine
on base plate.
5. Secure machine with through bolts, flat wash­ers, lock washers, and hex nuts (see Figure
11).

may result in strains, back
or property damage.
To avoid serious personal injury, keep hands and fingers clear of machine base and mobile base pinch points when placing machine.

Using Mobile Base
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. With machine mounted on mobile base,
adjust each rubber foot so it clears floor by at
1
8". Refer to Adjusting Rubber Feet on
least Page 4 for details.
— If floor is uneven, retract feet completely to
eliminate the chance of the pads dragging.
3. Check to make sure machine pathway is clear of all obstructions.
4. Push machine from lowest possible point to avoid tipping it over, and move it to its new location. The best control is usually achieved by pushing from swivel caster side of base.
— If the machine is large, get an assistant to
help stabilize the machine while it is being moved.
To reduce risk of serious injury when using this mobile base:
1. LOCKING FEET. Do not operate machine on mobile base unless both mobile base feet firmly contact floor and raise base enough to disable casters. Using the machine on base when it is not secured could result in a loss of workpiece control.
2. MACHINE STABILITY. Test for stability after placing the machine in its new location. Adjust feet so they each they touch the ground, then push on machine at several locations, making sure it is not off balance. The hex nuts can be adjusted up to top of foot assembly to lock foot height setting.
5. Adjust each foot until it touches floor, then
lower each foot at least an additional half­turn. This ensures major load of machine is on feet rather than on casters.
6. Check machine to make sure it is stable in its new location, and make sure machine is clear of any obstructions before reconnecting power and turning machine ON.
Before moving machine and mobile base, check to make sure pathway is clear of any hoses, wires, tools or shop debris. An abrupt impact with an object along path of travel can lock a wheel and cause machine to fall over, resulting in serious personal injury. Disconnect machine from power supply or dust collection before moving.
