Safety Instructions for Mobile Bases
1.
Be careful when moving to limit any finger pinch points.
2.
Place base on a level surface and adjust levelers before placing the machine in position. This should keep the
machine from rocking, while testing it for stability.
3.
Test the stability in both the up (on the casters) and the down positions. Exercise caution when testing the
stability of top heavy machines (drill presses, band saws, etc.).
4.
Unplug any power tool before moving or repositioning your tool.
5.
Always test your set-up for stability and safety after repositioning.
6.
Care should be taken when planning the orientation of the machine onto the Universal Mobile Base. Transfer
the weight off of the levelers to the casters will result in the machine tilting 1/2" toward the fixed wheels. When
positioning top heavy tools such as a drill press or band saw, take advantage of the center of gravity, and
position so that it will remain stable while on casters.
7.
Never use your machine without engaging the floor locks and foot locks. Always lower the machine onto the
non-skid levelers before operating.
8.
When moving, always push the base, not the machine.
