INTRODUCTION
This mobile base features welded, heavy-gauge
steel supports with a bolt-on foot lever, a single
swivel caster, and two sturdy wheels. Rubber
feet positioned opposite the fixed wheels assure
stable contact when the base is lowered into
the stationary position. The convenient foot
lever raises and lowers the base for ease in
moving and positioning the machine, and allows
the machine to be moved aside for cleaning
purposes.
ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Do not place Unisaw on the mobile base
until the base is fully assembled.
NOTE: The saw frame (S) Fig. 1 comes fully
assembled. User must attach fixed wheels, angle
brackets, rubber feet, swivel caster, foot pedal
assembly and J bolt anchors.

Fig. 2 through bottom hole (U) at saw base
frame end and then through the hole (V) in
the wheel (K) and out the bottom hole in the
other side of saw base frame bracket.
3. Place a 5/16 flat washer (N) Fig. 2 on the
threads of the shoulder screw and tighten
a 5/16-18 Nylon lock nut (O) onto the end
of the shoulder screw (L). To tighten, hold
shoulder screw (L) with a 3/16 hex wrench
and tighten Nylon lock nut with 1/2" socket
wrench.
4. Repeat these steps for other wheel.
ASSEMBLING ANGLE BRACKETS AND
RUBBER FEET
1. Line up two holes (W) Fig. 3 in angle bracket
(I) with two holes (X) in saw frame extension
end. Insert two 5/16-18 x 3/4” (19 mm) hex
head serrated flange bolts (J) through holes
(W) in the bracket and into the tapped holes
(X) of the saw frame extension end. Tighten
these down with 1/2" socket wrench.
2. Insert rubber foot (A) Fig. 4 up through hole
in angle bracket (I) as shown.
3. Attach 1/2-13 jam nut (B) Fig. 4 to post of
rubber foot (A) and tighten down with 3/4"
wrench.
4. Repeat all steps for other angle bracket and
rubber foot.
ASSEMBLING SWIVEL CASTER TO PEDAL
ASSEMBLY
1. Line up four holes (three shown at (Y) Fig. 5)
in the caster (G) with four holes (two shown
at (Z)) in the foot pedal bracket (AA) on the
foot pedal assembly (C).
2. Insert 3/8-16 x 3/4” (19 mm) hex head screw
(F) Fig. 5 down through holes in the foot
pedal bracket (AA) and then the caster (G).
3. Place 3/8-16 hex head serrated flange
nut (D) Fig. 5 on screw (F) underneath and
tighten with a 9/16” wrench.

and foot pedal bracket (AA).
ASSEMBLING PEDAL ASSEMBLY
TO SAW BASE FRAME
1. Line up holes (BB) Fig. 6 in the pedal
assembly (C) with holes (CC) on side of saw
base frame (T) opposite the fixed wheels (K)
Fig. 1.
2. Line up holes (DD) Fig. 6 in pivot bracket (H)
with holes (not shown) on the opposite side
of the saw base frame (T) from holes (CC).
3. Insert 3/8-16 x 3" (76.2 mm) carriage bolt (E)
Fig. 6 through hole in pivot bracket (H), in saw
base frame (T) and in pedal assembly (C).
4. Fasten carriage bolt (E) Fig. 6 with a 3/8-16
hex head serrated flange nut (D) against the
inside of the pedal assembly (C), using 9/16
wrench.
5. Repeat for other two carriage bolts (E) Fig. 6
and serrated flange nuts (D).
PLACING SAW AND EXTENSION TABLE
ON MOBILE BASE
RISK OF INJURY FROM
LIFTING. Serious injury can result from
attempting to lift too heavy an object. The
machine can weigh more than 550 pounds and
is too heavy to be lifted by one person. Obtain
assistance from others before lifting.
PINCH HAZARD. Be sure not
to place toes or fingers underneath the base
of the Unisaw while moving. Lift the saw from
underneath the table, before saw is assembled,
or from underneath the wings and extension
table after assembly.
Carefully lift saw and extension table onto mobile
base. Make sure extension legs (EE) Fig. 7 rest
on angle brackets (I) as shown.
ASSEMBLING J BOLTS TO ANGLE BRACKETS
The J bolts are required to join the base to the
extension table legs and will keep the table legs
resting properly on the base while moving the
base.
1. Place 1/4-20 hex nut (S) Fig. 7 on J-bolt
(P) and screw it on until it bottoms out on
threads.
2. Make sure J bolt (P) Fig. 7 is around leveling
screw (GG) on extension leg (EE) as shown
in Fig. 7.
3. Insert J bolt (P) Fig. 1 and Fig. 7 through hole
(FF) Fig. 3 in angle bracket (I).
4. Adjust hex nut (S) until it touches the angle
bracket (I).
5. Place a 1/4" flat washer (Q) Fig. 7 on J bolt
(P) and fasten it to angle bracket (I) using a
1/4-20 Nylon lock nut (R). Tighten nut using
7/16" wrench.
6. Repeat for J bolt (P) on the other angle
bracket (I).
OPERATING MOBILE BASE
NOTE: Before operating the base, apply grease
to the cams (HH) Fig. 8 and where they meet the
foot pedal bracket (AA).
When the foot pedal (II) is pushed down as
shown in Figure 9, the base is mobile.
To reduce the risk of injury, do
not operate the saw when the base is mobile
(when the foot pedal (II) is pushed down as
shown in Fig. 9).
When the foot pedal (II) is raised (as shown in
Figure 10), the base is lowered down to the floor
so it does not move. If the saw is not level in this
position, you can adjust the two extension table
legs (EE) Fig. 7 on your Unisaw using the leveling
screw (GG).
To reduce the risk of injury,
when lifting on foot pedal (II) Fig. 9 to lower the
saw down and make it stationary, be careful as
the pedal swings back with force. Stay clear of
the motion of this pedal.
To reduce the risk of injury,
make sure that your feet are clear of the base
before lowering the unit.
Figure 11 shows a Unisaw correctly attached to
the mobile base.
