How many casters does the base have, and what type are they?

How does the warranty work?

Can I use this base with very heavy machines like a large industrial planer?

You can use it if the machine's weight is within the 600-pound limit and its footprint falls within the 18"x18" to 28"x28" adjustable range. Always ensure the tool is stable and properly secured.

Troubleshooting

Base won't adjust to the desired size.

Ensure the spring-pin snap mechanisms are fully disengaged before attempting to adjust. Check for any obstructions preventing the adjustment.

Casters seem stiff or difficult to swivel.

Inspect the casters for any debris, thread, or dust buildup. Clean the caster wheels and swivel mechanisms. If persistent, consider light lubrication for the swivel bearings.

Tool feels unstable on the base.

Verify that the base dimensions are correctly adjusted to match the tool's footprint and that all locking mechanisms are fully engaged. Ensure the tool is centered on the base and all mounting bolts are tight.

Base doesn't roll smoothly.

Check that the load is evenly distributed. Ensure the casters are not damaged and that the path is clear of obstructions. Clean the casters as per the care instructions.
