Workbench Use Requirements
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and assemble
workbench.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
■ Intended for use in a garage.
■ Maximum weight limit is 3,000 lbs (1,360 kg).
■ Adding casters to this workbench could be a tipping hazard.
Unpack the Workbench
1. Unpack the legs and hardware from the box. Verify contents.
See the “Parts Supplied” section.
2. Remove the back panel and set it aside.
NOTE: Leave the workbench top on the cardboard during
assembly.
3. Remove the corners from the workbench top. The bolt holes
should be visible.
4. Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
Install Legs and Back Panel
NOTE: Assemble and adjust this workbench upside down according to the following illustrations. Be sure that the workbench top is flat
on the floor and the legs are in the air. To protect the workbench top during assembly, it is recommended that you place the wood top
upside down on the cardboard provided in the package.
1. Prepare workbench top
Lay the workbench top (P4) upside down on a clean surface to
expose the holes for the leg assembly sets.
2. Place leg assemblies
Place each outer leg assembly (P1) on the workbench
underside. Line up the holes in the outer leg assembly sets
with the holes on the bottom of the workbench top (P4). Each
outer leg assembly end has two holes that must face the three
holes on the back of the wood top for installation of the back
panel.

3. Attach leg assemblies
4. Attach back panel to leg assemblies
Attach the leg assemblies (P1) to the workbench top (P4)
using eight of the provided 3/8" (9.5 mm) x 11/2" (3.81 cm)
screws (F16). Make sure the screws are inserted straight into
the holes. Loosely install the screws using a 9/16" socket
wrench. Do not tighten the screws completely.
NOTES:
■ Tightening the screws at an angle can place excessive
stress on the screws, which may cause the screws to fail.
■ The holes in the legs are oval to allow space for minor
adjustments as the workbench is assembled.
5. Attach back panel to workbench top
Using a 5 mm wrench, attach the back panel (P3) to the leg
assemblies (P1) with the four provided M8 hex-head bolts
(F14). Do not tighten the bolts completely.
6. Tighten leg assembly bolts
Attach the back panel (P3) to the workbench top (P4) using
the remaining screws*. Make sure that the screws are inserted
straight into the holes. Tighten the screws using a 9/16"
socket wrench.
NOTE: Tightening the screws (F16) at an angle can place
excessive stress on the screws, which may cause the screws
to fail.
*NOTE: For 4' workbench, use two screws (F16).
For 6' workbench, use three screws (F16).
For 8' workbench, use six screws (F16).
Using a 5 mm wrench, tighten the bolts to attach the back
panel (P3) to the outer leg assemblies (P1) completely.
NOTE: Do not overtighten the bolts and screws.

NOTE: Do not overtighten the bolts and screws.
If not already installed, screw in the four leveling legs (P6).
The leveling legs have a flat side designed for use with an
adjustable wrench, if needed.
IMPORTANT: To install the leveling legs, turn clockwise a
minimum of 1½" (3.8 cm), or 20 full turns. Further adjustment
can be made 3/4" (19.1 mm) up or down from this position or
until the leveling leg cannot be turned any further against the
bottom of the inner leg (P2).
Inner Leg Height Adjustment
NOTE: Adjust this workbench upside down according to the illustrations. Be sure that the workbench top is flat on the floor and the legs
are in the air.
2. Attach leg assemblies1. Align adjustment holes
Before setting the workbench upright, verify that the same
number of adjustment holes are visible on each leg to ensure
that the workbench will be level. Align the adjustment holes
in the inner leg (P2) with the adjustment holes in the outer leg
assembly (P1) at the desired height of the workbench.
6
Insert a 5/16" (8 mm) hex-head bolt (F18) and washer (F19)
and secure with a wingnut (F17) and washer (F20). Be sure the
hex-head bolt aligns with the hex-shaped adjustment hole.
Repeat for each leg.
NOTE: To minimize multiple adjustments during assembly,
make sure the adjustment holes are aligned at the same
desired height for all the legs.
