Setup and Assembly
Assembly is required for this workbench. It is recommended that two people assist with assembly due to the size and weight of the components.
Tools Required:
- Wrench or Socket Set
- Measuring Tape
- Level
Assembly Steps:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, flat surface. Verify against the package contents list.
- Assemble Legs: Attach the C-channel leg components together using the provided hardware. Ensure all bolts are finger-tight at this stage.
- Attach Stringers: Connect the bench stringers between the assembled leg frames. The stringers provide structural rigidity. Use the provided mounting hardware to secure them.
- Attach Workbench Top: Carefully place the workbench top onto the assembled leg and stringer frame. Align the pre-drilled holes (if applicable) or secure the top to the frame using appropriate fasteners.
- Tighten Hardware: Once all components are aligned and in place, systematically tighten all bolts and nuts securely. Do not overtighten.
- Adjust Height: Before final placement, adjust the leg height to your desired working level. The legs adjust from 27-7/8" to 35-3/8" in 1" increments. Use the adjustment pins or bolts on each leg. Ensure all legs are set to the same height for a level surface.
- Final Placement: Move the assembled workbench to its final desired location. Ensure it is stable and level.

Operating Instructions
Height Adjustment:
- Remove any items from the workbench surface before adjusting height.
- Locate the adjustment pins/bolts on each leg.
- Carefully lift or lower the workbench while simultaneously adjusting each leg to the desired height increment. Ensure all legs are adjusted to the same setting.
- Securely re-insert the adjustment pins or tighten the bolts on all legs.
- Verify the workbench is stable and level before placing items back on it.
Electrical Outlet Installation (Optional):
The adjustable height legs feature removable duplex knockouts for the installation of either a hard-wired electrical outlet or an optional plug-in outlet. This process should only be performed by a qualified electrician or an individual with appropriate electrical knowledge.
- Ensure the workbench is unplugged from any power source if an existing outlet is present.
- Locate the duplex knockouts on the front and rear of the legs.
- Carefully remove the desired knockout(s).
- Install the electrical outlet according to the manufacturer's instructions for the specific outlet type (hard-wired or plug-in).
- Ensure all wiring is secure and properly insulated before use.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe down the workbench surface and frame with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Hardware Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten any loose hardware to maintain stability and safety.
- Surface Care: The tempered hardboard top is durable but can be protected further by using cutting mats or protective coverings for heavy-duty tasks.
- Rust Prevention: The steel parts are undercoated to resist rust. However, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh chemicals to prevent corrosion.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Workbench is wobbly or unstable. | Loose hardware; uneven floor; legs not adjusted to the same height. | Check and tighten all bolts and nuts. Move workbench to a level surface. Ensure all legs are set to the identical height increment. |
| Difficulty adjusting leg height. | Load on workbench; adjustment pins/bolts stuck or misaligned. | Remove all items from the workbench. Ensure pins/bolts are fully disengaged. Check for any obstructions in the adjustment holes. |
| Workbench surface appears uneven. | Legs not adjusted to the same height; workbench not on a level surface. | Verify all legs are set to the same height using a measuring tape. Use a level to check the workbench surface and adjust leg heights or relocate the workbench as needed. |
