2. Safety Information

Always observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury or damage to the work table:

• Ensure the work table is placed on a stable, level surface before use.
• Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the table.
• Keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts, especially during setup and folding.
• Verify that all locking mechanisms are fully engaged before placing items on the table.
• Do not stand or sit on the work table.
• Store the table in a dry, secure location when not in use.

3. Setup Instructions

The Sumner 432-783980 Portable Work Table features a quick-release setup for ease of use.

1. Place the folded work table on a flat surface with the legs facing downwards.
2. Gently pull the legs outwards from the center. The folding legs are designed to lock into position with a fast-action plunger pin.
3. Ensure that each plunger pin is fully engaged and secured in its respective hole, indicating the legs are locked in the work position.
4. Carefully flip the table upright, ensuring all four legs are stable and the table top is level.
5. Before placing any items on the table, gently push down on the table top to confirm stability and that all leg locks are secure.

4. Operating the Work Table

Once properly set up, the Sumner Portable Work Table is ready for use. Its expanded metal top provides a durable surface for various tasks.

• Distribute weight evenly across the table surface to maintain stability.
• Avoid dragging heavy objects across the expanded metal top to prevent damage.
• When finished, clear all items from the table before folding.
• To fold, disengage the plunger pins on each leg and carefully fold the legs inward until they lock into their stored position.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your work table.

• Cleaning: Wipe the metal surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly to prevent rust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Inspection: Periodically check all fasteners, joints, and locking mechanisms for tightness and proper function. Tighten any loose bolts.
• Storage: Store the table in a dry environment to prevent corrosion, especially if exposed to moisture.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your work table, consider the following:

• Table is wobbly: Ensure all legs are fully extended and the plunger pins are securely locked. Check that the table is on a level surface.
• Legs difficult to fold/unfold: Check for any obstructions in the hinge mechanism. A small amount of lubricant on the moving parts may help, but ensure it does not interfere with the locking pins.
• Rust spots: Clean immediately with a rust remover and apply a protective coating if necessary. Store in a dry environment.
