SIGNAL WORDS:
This manual uses SIGNAL WORDS to indicate the likelihood of personal injuries, as well as the probable seriousness
of those injuries, if the product is misused in the ways described. Other signal words call attention to uses of the
product likely cause property damage. The signal words used appear below along with the meaning of each word:
Each person who assembles, installs, uses, or maintains this product should read the entire manual in advance and
fully understand the directions. If after reading the manual you do not

injury
Identifies practices likely to result in product/property damage, such as operation that might
damage the product.
understand an instruction, ask your supervisor
or employer for clarification, because failure to adhere to the directions in this manual might result in serious personal
injury.
Safe Use Recommendations:
We strive to identify all hazards associated with the use of our products. However, material handling is dangerous and
no manual can address every risk. The end-user ultimately is responsible for exercising sound judgment at all times.
Material handling is dangerous. Improper or careless operation of this table might result in serious
personal injuries.
Failure to read and understand the entire manual before assembling, using or servicing the product
constitutes misuse. Read the manual whenever necessary to refresh your understanding of proper use and
maintenance procedures.
DO NOT install the table outdoors or in corrosive environments. ONLY install the table on compacted, improved
surfaces (e.g. concrete) that are level and even. The surface must be capable of supporting the combined weight of
the table and a full capacity load.
DO NOT use the table unless it is in normal operating condition. Inspect the unit as described in the inspection
instructions on p. 6. DO NOT use the machine unless it passes every part of the appropriate inspection or until it is
restored to normal operating condition.
DO NOT use the table to lift people. DO NOT stand on the table frame or climb onto the tabletop.
Always watch the table carefully while applying a load to it.
Avoid pinch points. Pinch points are created as the table rises and lowers do to the pivoting motion of the scissor
legs. NEVER reach into or put any part of your body between the scissor legs.
Always load the table properly (see p. 2). Center and evenly distribute all loads applied to this table.
The tabletop should elevate evenly as weight is removed from it and lower smoothly as weight is applied to it.
Watch for binding or jerky movement and listen for unusual noises. Remove the unit from service if you observe
anything abnormal.
DO NOT apply loads to this table on broken or damaged pallets. Examine each pallet to confirm that no nails
protrude from the surfaces and that all boards are intact. A damaged/broken pallet might interfere with tabletop
rotation. A sudden stop while rotating the tabletop could cause the load to shift or fall.
Lift a load high enough that it is clearly no longer in contact with the tabletop before backing away from the table.
If the table must be moved, completely unload it first.
DO NOT use this table UNLESS all labels are in place & readable (see “Labeling diagram” on p. 7.)
DO NOT modify this product in any way. Modifying the machine automatically voids the limited warranty (see p. 8).
and might make it unsafe to use.
If repairs are necessary, ONLY install manufacturer-approved replacement parts.
Proper use and maintenance are essential for this product to function properly.
Always use this product in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
Periodically lubricate moving parts.
Keep the product clean & dry at all times. Always store the unit inside.
Only use approved replacement parts. To order replacement or spare parts for this equipment, contact the factory.
