Assembly

1.Insert each of the 8 Threaded Lugs (H) onto the holes cross-drilled in the ends of the Cross Braces (C) as shown in Step 1. Use the slots in the end of each Lug to align the threads with the holes drilled into the ends of the Cross Braces.

2.Attach one Cross Brace (C) to the two Leg Assemblies (D) as shown in Step 2. Be sure that the slotted side on the Cross Brace faces the interior of the Leg Assemblies. Secure in place with 4 60mm Bolts (G).

3.Slide the Lower Shelf (B) into position as shown in Step 3.

4.Install the second Cross Brace (C) as shown in Step 4. Be sure the groove on this Cross Brace also faces inward, so that the Lower Shelf (B) is held in place by the grooves in both Cross Braces. Secure the second Cross Brace using 4 60mm Bolts (G) as before.You now have a completed ???Chassis???.

Assembly Drawing

5.Lay the Top (A) upside down on the floor or other flat surface as shown in Step 5. Invert the completed Chassis, and align the screw holes in the Chassis with those in the Top. Be sure to align the front of the Chassis with the front of the Top. Secure the Chassis to the top using 6 Screws (F).

6.Install the Vise (E) into the holes on the front of the Workbench Top. Install the 10mm Screw (E1) into the end of the Vise Screw as shown in Step 6. This is to prevent the Vise (E) from coming apart when you are using it.Invert the completed Workbench so that it is standing upright on the floor. You may now install the Wood Dogs (J) or Small Anvils (K) as needed.

NOTE: The Wood Dogs and Small Anvils are used as braces or measuring points for various work materials. They are used optionally as needed. When not in use, store them in a convenient place.

Operation

1.Install your Work Bench in a clean, dry, well lighted work space. Observe work space conditions including ventilation, light, proper electrical service, etc. to be sure that you will be safe working there.

2.Check to be sure your Work Bench is stable on a sturdy, level surface. It should not rock when you push on it. If it does, repair the underlying surface.

3.The Vise is useful for holding objects to be drilled or cut. Open the Vise by turning the handle counterclockwise. Close the Vise by turning the handle clockwise. Do not overtighten or force the handle. Do not hammer or beat on the Vise or materials clamped in it, as this will damage the Vise.

4.The Wood Dogs and Small Anvils are useful for holding materials on the Work Bench surface.These may be inserted or removed from their holes as necessary.

Maintenance

1.Protect your workbench from water or corrosive materials. Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) is especially prone to damage if exposed to water.

2.When using your workbench, do not drill or cut into the top. Use pieces of scrap material under your workpiece to prevent damage to the work bench.

3.Remember that the weight capacity of this workbench is 250 lbs. Do not overload the work bench. Do not throw or drop heavy objects on the Lower Shelf (B). Its weight capacity is much less than 250 lbs.

4.Wipe grease, oil, or other foreign materials off the work bench promptly whenever spills occur. Keep the workbench surface clean and free of clutter.
