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.
Assembly Examples
Be sure to follow safety and assembly instructions. Keep in mind the actual operation of your
machine and the effect it has on overall stability.
A long narrow base, such as on a jointer, would
benefit from this arrangement. Most machines may
be arranged to the convenience of the user.
A short narrow base, such as found on a drill press
or bandsaw may benefit from this arrangement.
Due to swivel rotation, base may sit out of level.
Rotate swivel wheel away from base to correct.
