Professional Cabinet Saw Mobile Base
Installing Your Mobile Base - Method 2
3.
Loosen the M8 x 65 countersunk socket head bolt
that mounts the front leg to the front rail, but do not
remove the bolt or nut. Use the 5 mm short-arm
hex key supplied with the mobile base to keep the
bolt from turning while you loosen the nut with a 13
mm wrench (see Fig.
21)
. The 5 mm short-arm hex
key is sized so that it can engage the head of the
bolt without having to remove the front rail tube.
Repeat the procedure to loosen the M8 hex nut on
the back of the M8 x 65 countersunk socket head
bolt that mounts the rear leg to the rear rail. Rotate
the end of each support leg toward the saw so that
both support legs are out of the way and the saw
can be tipped onto its side.

With the front and rear rails are securley mounted, any out-feed table removed, and the extension table legs
removed or rotated out of the way, the saw can be tipped to the side. To make the saw easier to tip, adjust the
tilt handwheel until the blade is set at 45
°
to the table. Make sure the saw is on a level surface and then, with
the help of an assistant, grip the sides of the rails near the ends and push down to gently lower the rails to
the ground (see Fig.
22)
. Do not grip an extension table or the end of the rails to lower the saw to the tipped
position because you might pinch your fingers between the extension table or rails and the ground. The rear
rail is shorter than the front rail and typically will not touch the ground. To prevent scratching the rails, you can
set the edge of the front rail on a piece of cardboard or cloth.
