Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the tabletop and frame to remove welding spatter, dust, and debris. Use a wire brush or scraper for spatter, and a damp cloth for general cleaning.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary.
• Corrosion Protection: While the top is corrosion-resistant, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh chemicals to maintain its finish.
• Storage: Store the welding table in a dry environment when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Table Instability

If the table feels unstable:

• Ensure all assembly bolts are fully tightened.
• Verify the table is placed on a flat, level surface.
• Check for any damaged components.

Difficulty with Clamps

If clamps do not fit or secure properly in the peg holes:

• Ensure you are using clamps designed for 3/4" peg holes.
• Clear any debris or spatter from inside the peg holes.
