Using Mobile Base

1.  DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2.  With  machine  mounted  on  mobile  base,  lift 

foot  pedals  to  raise  rubber  feet.  If  needed, 
adjust feet further to ensure feet do not drag 
during  move.  Refer  to 

Adjusting Rubber 

Feet on Page 7 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.

5.  Adjust  each  foot  until  it  touches  floor,  then 

rotate  each  foot  so  it  firmly  presses  against 
ground without raising 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.

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 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.

4.  Raise  foot  pedals  up  to  lift  rubber  feet  and 

move machine (see

 Figure 23).

Figure 23. 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 rub-
ber feet are fixed firmly against the floor to provide 
stability, without lifting casters.
