IMPORT ANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
•Use the chest/cabinet and accessories in accordance with these instructions and in the manner
intended, taking into account the working conditions.
Use of the chest/cabinet for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
•Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
•Fully assemble the chest/cabinet according to
the assembly instructions. Do not leave off any
pieces.
•
Chest must be fastened by screws through
connectors after it has been placed on top of
cabinet.
•Do not modify the chest/cabinet in any way. Use
only specifi cally recommended accessories. Drilling
holes or modifying the chest/cabinet will lower the
load capacity, which can cause the chest/cabinet to
collapse, resulting in injury.
•Lock wheels when chest/cabinet is not being
moved. Unlocked wheels can allow the chest/
cabinet to move unexpectedly.
•Keep the chest/cabinet on a level surface. Do not
load, unload, or park chest/cabinet on an incline.
The chest/cabinet may become unbalanced and tip,
resulting in injury.
•Always balance the chest/cabinet load to avoid
tipping. Unbalanced chests/cabinets are more likely
to tip when being moved or when using the chest/
cabinet work surfaces. Evenly distribute the weight
front to back and side to side. Place more than half
the total load weight on the bottom cabinet when possible. T o help prevent the chest/cabinet from tipping,
load the product starting with the bottom drawers.
• Do not exceed the maximum product weight,
including contents. Do not exceed the maximum
weight for each drawer. Overloaded chests/
cabinets can tip, collapse, or damage drawer slides.
• Do not open more than one drawer at a time.
Chest/cabinet may tip, causing injury.
•Keep children and bystanders away while
loading, unloading, and moving chest/cabinet.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
•Only lift the chest/cabinet according to the in-
structions in this manual. Other methods may be
dangerous, resulting in injury.
• Only transport the chest/cabinet when empty.
Properly secure when transporting.
• Do not mount the chest/cabinet on a truck bed
or any other moving object.

•Do not use chest/cabinet in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of fl ammable
liquids, gases or dust. This equipment has internal
arcing or sparking parts. Chest/cabinet should not
be located in a recessed area or below fl oor level.
•Chest/cabinet plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earth (grounded) chest/
cabinet power strips. Unmodifi ed plugs and match-
ing outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
•Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
•Maintain chest/cabinet. Check for misalignment
or binding wheels, breakage or bending of drawer
slides or other parts and any other condition that
may affect the chest/cabinet's operation. Do not use

GROUNDING
WARNING
Improperly connecting the ground-
ing wire can result in the risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualifi ed electrician
if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the chest/cabinet. Never remove the
grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the
chest/cabinet if the cord or plug is damaged. If
damaged, have it repaired before use. If the plug
will not fi t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualifi ed electrician.
Chests/Cabinets with Three Prong Plugs
Chests/cabinets marked “Grounding Required” have
a power strip with a three wire cord and three prong
grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a
properly grounded outlet (See Figure A). If the
power strip should electrically malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a low resistance path to
carry electricity away from the user,
Fig. A
reducing the risk of electric shock.
The grounding prong in the plug is
connected through the green wire
inside the cord to the grounding system in the power strip. The green wire in the cord
must be the only wire connected to the power strip's
grounding system and must never be attached to an
electrically “live” terminal.
Your power strip must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet
should look like those in Figure A.
3. Mount the two swivel casters with brake to the
rolling cabinet using four bolts (EE) and washers
(DD) per caster. The swivel casters with brake
should be installed on the end of the cabinet with
the side handle.
4. Mount the two rigid casters to the opposite end
of the rolling cabinet using four bolts (EE) and
washers (DD) per caster.
5. Tighten all bolts securely with a wrench.
6. Return the rolling cabinet to its upright position.
Installing the Chest onto the Cabinet
CAUTION
Two people may be required to
complete installation.
1. Place the top chest on top of the rolling cabinet.
NOTE: The holes in the cabinet are tapped and
do not require nuts.
2. Attach the two brackets to the back of the product
to secure the top chest to the rolling cabinet. Place

two screws (BB) per bumper.
Installing the Cord Storage Brackets
Attach the brackets to the right side of the cabinet
with two screws (AA) per bracket. Orient the brackets
with one pointed up and one pointed down so that
the power outlet cord can be wrapped around the
brackets for storage.
OPERATION
WARNING
To avoid injury or property damage,
do not exceed maximum drawer
capacity. Use care when moving chest/cabinet
on incline or rough surface. Chest/cabinet may
tip if weight is not evenly distributed front to back
and side to side. Place more than half the total
load weight on the bottom cabinet when possible.
Locking and Unlocking the Chest/Cabinet
NOTE: The drawers must be fully closed before
locking/unlocking the unit.
Insert the key. Turn it fully left to lock, or fully right
to unlock. Always remove the key after locking and
unlocking.
Using the Caster Brakes

cabinet will lower the load capacity, which can cause
the chest/cabinet to collapse, resulting in injury. Lock
the chest/cabinet and secure all items before rolling.
Lifting the Chest/Cabinet
The cabinet and chest/cabinet combo are not
intended to be lifted. However, if you need to lift,
empty the chest/cabinet and then place straps or
forks inside and next to casters. Do not lift loaded
chests/cabinets. Be sure all bystanders are moved
away before lifting chest/cabinet.
