4. Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the TecTake Workbench requires attention to detail and patience. It is recommended to have a second person assist with certain steps.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully unpack all parts and lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches. Identify each component using the parts list in the included assembly instructions.
2. Initial Frame Assembly: Begin by assembling the main metal frame. Do not fully tighten all screws and bolts at this stage. Leave them slightly loose to allow for adjustments.
3. Install Shelves and Panels: Attach the lower shelf, work surface, and tool panel (pegboard) to the frame. Ensure they are correctly oriented as per the diagrams.
4. Drawer Assembly: Assemble the drawer and install its slides. Pay close attention to the alignment to ensure smooth operation. The rubber feet should be fitted to the base of the workbench legs; this may require some force.
5. Final Tightening: Once all components are in place and the workbench is stable, progressively tighten all screws and bolts. Ensure the workbench is square and level.
6. Attach Hooks: Insert the provided hooks into the perforated tool panel as desired for tool organization.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your workbench.

• Cleaning: Wipe down metal surfaces with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. For the wood fiber panels, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
