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 x 12 x 1 washers. Some cabinet configurations will have 

pre-drilled holes for the self-tapping screws. If your saw cabinet does not have pre-drilled holes, or you are 

having difficulty aligning the holes, rotate the rear hold-down bracket until the top hole is over the flat face of 

the cabinet. Place one of the M4 x 12 x 1 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.
