1. Read all instructions in this manual before

bench only as described in this manual.

2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the weight bench are ade­quately informed of all precautions.

3. The weight bench is intended for home use

7. Always be sure there is an equal amount of

are using it. When adding or removing
weights, always keep some weight on both
ends of the barbell and prevent the barbell

not included with the weight bench.

8. Always exercise with a partner. When you are
performing bench press exercises, your part­ner should stand behind you to catch the bar­bell if you cannot complete a repetition.
