ToughBuilt C550 Heavy-Duty Folding Sawhorse / Jobsite Table Instruction Manual

Introduction

The ToughBuilt C550 Sawhorse / Jobsite Table is engineered for durability and efficiency in various work environments. This dual-purpose tool functions as both a heavy-duty sawhorse and a portable work table, offering stability for cutting, assembly, and other jobsite tasks. Constructed from powder-coated and zinc-plated steel, it resists corrosion and is designed for long-lasting performance. Its adjustable height legs and fast-open mechanism ensure quick and simple setup.

Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your ToughBuilt C550 Sawhorse:

1. Unfolding the Sawhorse: Place the folded sawhorse on a flat, stable surface. Locate the release mechanisms on the sides of the sawhorse. Press the release buttons and extend the legs outwards until they lock securely into place. Ensure all four legs are fully extended and stable.
2. Adjusting Leg Height: Each leg features an adjustable height mechanism. Press the leg release lever and slide the inner leg section up or down to your desired working height. Release the lever to lock the leg in position. Repeat for all legs to ensure a level work surface.
3. Utilizing 2x4 Support Arms: The sawhorse includes adjustable 2x4 support arms at each end. These arms can be extended to create a wider, more stable work surface when used with additional 2x4 lumber. Simply pull out the support arms and insert standard 2x4s to form a robust jobsite table.

Operating Instructions

The ToughBuilt C550 Sawhorse is designed for versatile use as both a standalone sawhorse and a component of a larger jobsite table. Always ensure the sawhorse is placed on a stable, level surface before beginning any work.

• Sawhorse Functionality: Use the sawhorse individually for supporting materials during cutting, painting, or assembly tasks. The robust steel construction provides a stable platform for various projects.
• Jobsite Table Configuration: For larger projects requiring a wider work surface, deploy two C550 sawhorses and extend their 2x4 support arms. Insert appropriate length 2x4 lumber into the arms to create a sturdy frame. Place a sheet of plywood or other suitable material on top to form a temporary jobsite table. This configuration is ideal for handling large sheets of material or for collaborative work.
• Material Support Pegs: The sawhorse features material support pegs that can be deployed to hold materials vertically, aiding in tasks such as cutting sheet goods or doors.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your ToughBuilt C550 Sawhorse:

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the sawhorse with a damp cloth to remove dust, debris, and any residue. For stubborn grime, a mild detergent can be used. Ensure the sawhorse is completely dry before folding and storing.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect all moving parts, locking mechanisms, and structural components for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Pay close attention to the leg hinges, support arm connections, and pivoting feet.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a light lubricant to the moving parts and hinges to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust, especially in humid environments.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the sawhorse to its compact size and store it in a dry, protected area to prevent exposure to harsh weather conditions, which can lead to corrosion.
