• Only qualified persons should install, operate, maintain, and repair this equipment. A qualified person is defined as one who, by possession of a recognized degree, certificate, or professional standing, or who by extensive knowledge, training and experience, has successfully demonstrated the ability to solve or resolve problems relating to the subject matter, the work, or the project and has received safety training to recognize and avoid the hazards involved.
• During operation, keep everybody, especially children, away.

Read Instructions

• Read and follow all labels and the operator's manual carefully before installing, operating, or servicing unit. Read the safety information at the beginning of the manual and in each section.
• Use only genuine replacement parts from the manufacturer.
• Perform installation, maintenance according to the operator's manual, industry standards, and national, state, and local codes.
• Do not repair, modify, or disassemble the weld table or use with parts or accessories not supplied by the manufacturer. Use only approved components and accessories from the manufacturer.
• Be sure all hardware is properly tightened.
• Do not use the welding table until you are sure it is correctly assembled and working properly.
• Before each use, inspect the weld table for damage and verify it is secure and installed properly.

[!] DANGER! ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD!

• Improper use of an electric welder and associated equipment can cause electric shock, injury and death! Read all precautions described in the specific Welder Manual to reduce the possibility of electric shock.
• The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically "hot" when the welder is on. Do not allow these "hot" parts or associated equipment to come in contact with your bare skin or wet clothing.
• Be aware that the welding table will become part of the electrical welding circuit with a project attached. Separate yourself from the welding circuit by using insulating mats, protective clothing, leather welding gloves and insulated footwear to avoid being part of the welding circuit.
• Be sure that the work piece is properly supported and grounded prior to beginning an electric welding operation.
• Always attach the ground clamp to the piece to be welded and as close to the weld area as possible. This will give the least resistance and best weld.
• Disconnect welder from power supply before attaching, removing or adjusting anything on the welding table.
• Always wear dry, protective clothing and leather welding gloves and insulated footwear. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material to protect your skin.
• If other persons or pets are in the area of welding, use welding screens to protect bystanders from sparks and harmful arc rays.
• Always weld in a clean, dry, well ventilated area. Do not operate a welder in humid, wet, rainy or poorly ventilated areas.

[!] DANGER! FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD!

• Do not install or place unit on, over, or near combustible surfaces.
• Do not install unit near flammables.
• Use the welding table only for the recommended application. Do not use the welding table for non-welding operations, such as painting, sawing wood, or any activity that could produce flammable materials.
• Before each use, empty the debris in the collection tray into a fireproof container.

[!] WARNING! FALL HAZARD!

• Awkward, out of balance body positions may be attempted while trying to reach specific areas of objects placed on the welding table during use. Failure to ensure proper footing can quickly result in a fall which could inflict serious personal injury or property damage.
• Always work in a clean, uncluttered environment.
• Be sure there is sufficient working room around the welding table to allow for safe welding practices.
• This welding table is designed for use in supporting projects during the welding process only.
• DO NOT exceed the rated 794lbs (360kgs) of welding top, DO NOT exceed the rated 406lbs (184kgs) of storage tray.
• DO NOT crawl, sit, stand, or climb on the Welding Table.
• DO NOT use this welding table while working with or around explosives or corrosive liquids.

[!] CAUTION! USAGE HAZARDS!

• The welding table consists of moderately heavy metal components which can cause potentially serious injuries if allowed to drop.
• Avoid pinching hands while handling parts during assembly and wear thick, well-fitting work gloves to prevent cuts from handling sharp metal. The use of safety shoes is strongly recommended.

Assembly

Two people are recommended for assembly.

Step 1: Install the Casters

Remove the nut, lock washer and washer from the swivel caster with brake (F). Slide the bolt of swivel caster (F) through the hexagonal hole of leg (C). Apply washer and lock washer on the other end of the hole, followed by the nut. Tighten the nut to desired tightness by a socket wrench with 23/32" (18mm) socket (not included).

[i] Note: Tighten the bolts completely.

Diagram Description: Illustrates the assembly of a swivel caster (F) to a leg (C), showing the order of nut, lock washer, and washer.

Parts involved: Leg (C) x 4, Swivel Caster with Brake (F) x 4.

Step 2: Install the Legs

Assemble on a flat, level, hard and smooth surface capable of safely supporting a welding table.

Lay the welding top (A) on its back.

Attach the four legs (C) with casters to the inside corners of the welding top (A) with sixteen M8x15mm hexagonal head bolts (AA), and finger tighten to desired tightness.

[i] Note: Do not tighten the bolts completely before step 5.

Ensure the legs (C) are in the right direction with one hole at the bottom and three holes on the top when the welding table is on its back.

Diagram Description: Shows the welding top (A) upside down, with legs (C) being attached to its corners using M8x15mm hexagonal head bolts (AA). Indicates that three holes on the leg should face upwards.

Parts involved: Welding Top (A) x 1, Leg (C) x 4, M8x15mm Hexagonal Head Bolt (AA) x 16.

Step 3: Install the Storage Tray

Carefully put the welding table to its side position.

Place the storage tray (B) in the middle of the four legs (C), securing with twelve M8 x 15mm hexagonal head bolts (AA), and finger tighten to desired tightness.

Carefully put the welding table to its upright position.

Step down the levers to lock the swivel casters with brakes (F).

Attach the storage tray (B) to legs using another four M8 x 15mm hexagonal head bolts (AA), and finger tighten to desired tightness.

[i] Note: Be sure to lock all the swivel casters (F) to prevent welding table from rolling or swiveling. The storage tray (B) can be attached in three positions of the legs (C). Attach it at your desired position as you need.

Diagram Description: Illustrates the attachment of the storage tray (B) to the legs (C) using M8x15mm hexagonal head bolts (AA).

Parts involved: Storage Tray (B) x 1, Leg (C) x 4, M8x15mm Hexagonal Head Bolt (AA) x 16.

Step 4: Install the Hook

Attach the hook (E) to inside corners of legs (C) with two M8x15mm hexagonal head bolts (AA), and finger tighten to desired tightness.

[i] Note: The hook (E) can be attached to left or right side of the welding table.

Diagram Description: Shows the hook (E) being attached to the inside corner of a leg (C) using M8x15mm hexagonal head bolts (AA).

Parts involved: Leg (C) x 4, Hook (E) x 1, M8x15mm Hexagonal Head Bolt (AA) x 2.

Step 5: Install the Side Handle

Remove two bolts from the side handle (D). Align the hole on welding top with side handle. Attach the side handle (D) to left or right side of the welding table (next to the WORKPRO badge) with the previously removed bolts. Tighten all the bolts to desired tightness by a socket wrench with 15/32" (12mm) socket or a 1/2" (12mm) wrench (not included).

[i] Note: Tighten all the bolts completely by a socket wrench with 15/32" (12mm) socket or a 1/2" (12mm) wrench.

[!] Caution: Ensure tightening the bolts of the welding table completely, otherwise tipping may occur in subsequent operation, cause personal or product damage.

Using the Caster Brake

• To lock the swivel casters with brake, step down the levers.
• To unlock the swivel casters with brake, lift the levers.

[i] Note: Be sure to lock all swivel casters with brake to prevent welding table from rolling or swiveling.
