5. Operating Instructions

Adjusting Height and Angle:

The easel features a smooth metal ratchet system for quick height adjustments of the canvas tray, from 12.5 inches to 33 inches. The top slider glides on the center mast to securely hold canvases up to 43 inches in height. You can also easily adjust the angle of the easel for your preferred working posture.

• To adjust the tray height: Loosen the wing nuts on the side of the tray, slide it to the desired position, and re-tighten. The metal ratchet mechanism provides secure locking.
• To secure the top of the canvas: Loosen the knob on the top slider, position it firmly against the top edge of your canvas, and tighten the knob.
• To adjust the easel angle: Loosen the adjustment knobs on the rear leg supports, set the easel to your desired tilt, and re-tighten the knobs.
