3.1 Safety instructions for all operations
Assemble the workbench correctly and check that
all four cross members are locked with the safety
catches before starting any work.
Never work with a defective workbench!
Place the workbench on a firm, flat, and horizontal
surface. If the workbench table can slip or wobble,
the workpiece or power tool cannot be controlled
evenly and safely.
First set up the workbench correctly before
mounting a power tool or workpiece.
Securely fasten the power tool on the workbench.
Slipping of the power tool on the workbench can
result in loss of control.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
Remove unnecessary objects from the workbench
before starting any sawing operations.
Securely fix workpieces when machining them!
Make sure that long workpieces do not bring the
workbench out of balance, Long workpieces must
be supported or propped up to prevent dangerous
situations caused by uncontrolled tipping.
There is risk of tipping if workpieces protrude. Make
sure that the table does not get unbalanced due to
lateral clamping and machining of laterally clamped
workpieces.
Do not overload the workbench and do not use as
seat, ladder or scaffolding. Overloading or standing
on the workbench can cause the centre of gravity of
the table to shift and the table to tip over.
Prior to starting work, check the functionality of the
devices and tools. Never work with a damaged or
blunt tool.
Never fasten fragile materials with excessive
clamping force. Risk of splintering!
The working area must be tidy and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
Place heavy objects carefully on the table and apply
an even load to the table top.
Make sure that your hands are not crushed when
clamping thin workpieces with one-hand clamps.
Take care not to pinch your hands when folding and
unfolding the table.
Keep children and other persons away while using
the workbench. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
