D2057A, D2058A, D2260A Mobile Base Instructions
Using Mobile Base
1. DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. With the machine mounted on the mobile base, turn
the knobs on the corner brackets counterclockwise
so the feet clear the floor by at least
1
⁄8".
— If the floor is uneven, retract the feet completely
to eliminate the chance of the pads dragging on
the floor.
3. Check to make sure the pathway is clear of all
obstructions.
4. Push the machine from the lowest possible point to
avoid tipping it over and move it to its new location.
Note: The best control is usually achieved by
pushing on the side with the swivel casters.
— If the machine is large, get an assistant to help
stabilize the machine while it is being moved.
5. Turn the knobs until the feet touch the floor, then
turn the knobs at least an additional half turn. This
will ensure that the major load of the machine is on
the feet rather than on the casters.
6. Check the machine to make sure it is stable in its
new location, and make sure the machine is clear of
any obstructions before reconnecting the power and
turning the machine ON.
To reduce risk of serious injury when
using this mobile base:
1. LOCKING FEET. Do not operate the
machine on the mobile base unless
both mobile base feet firmly contact
the floor and raise the base enough
to disable the casters. Using the
machine on the base when it is not
secured could result in a loss of
workpiece control.
2. TIPPING HAZARD. To avoid tipping it
over, push the machine and base at
the lowest possible point and have
an assistant stabilize the machine if
it is large.
3. PINCH HAZARD. Keep your hands
clear of any potential obstructions
between the machine you are
moving and other equipment or
tables that may protrude into the
path of travel.
4. MACHINE STABILITY. Test for
stability after placing the machine
in its new location. Turn the knobs
down enough to move the feet
against the ground, then push on
the machine at several locations,
making sure it is not off balance.
Lift heavy equipment carefully and
with the proper equipment. Get
assistance if needed to reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
To avoid serious personal injury,
keep your hands and fingers clear of
machine base and mobile base pinch
points when placing the machine.
Before moving the machine and mobile base, check
to make sure the pathway is clear of any hoses,
wires, tools or shop debris. An abrupt impact with
an object in the path of travel can lock a wheel and
cause the machine to fall over, resulting in serious
personal injury. Disconnect the machine from any
power supply or dust collection system before
moving.
