A Word About Safety

Just as we want you to be pleased with your assembled bench, we donʼt want you to get hurt in the
process of building it! Our suggestions include the following:

• Wear eye protection when drilling and power-screwing.

• Wear head protection when working with/under heavy parts including metal tubing.

• Wear gloves when handling metal parts due to sharp or rough edges.

• Use a portable GFCI when working with corded power tools.

• Do not climb on the bench or its frame. It is not designed to support human weight.

• If bench is moved after construction, inspect bench thoroughly before reuse.

• Use common sense at all times.

Before you start to build your bench you should assemble the following tools:

• Tape Measure at least as long as your bench

• Fine Point Marker to mark locations during assembly

• Electric Drill/Driver (cordless preferred)

• 5/16" Hex Driver Bit

Unpack & Identify Parts
