(see
MAINTENANCE). In addition, the following preparations must be completed prior to handling any
load.
Taking Safety Precautions
The operator must be trained in all relevant industry and regulatory standards for the operation of
the table in its geographical location (eg, OSHA standards in the USA).
The user must read and understand this
INSTRUCTIONS manual, including all WARNINGS ,
before using the table. If necessary, contact Wood’s Powr-Grip or an authorized dealer for
assistance.
WARNING: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
The user must wear any personal protective equipment and take any other precautions required
to handle the load safely. Consult appropriate trade association guidelines to determine what
precautions are necessary for each type of load material.
Evaluating the Intended Use
The user must determine whether the table is capable of performing each intended task, in view
of specific design limitations: Consult the SPECIFICATIONS to review the
Maximum Load Capacity and Load Tilting Capability, as well as the Load
Characteristics required to use the table. Any other use is not recommended.
Using the table in wet environments may require the user to take special
precautions: Although the table's exterior surfaces can tolerate some
exposure to water vapor, submerging the table or using it in rain may damage
its components; these and similar conditions must be avoided.

Before folding a table (see Figure B), apply the caster brakes and remove any
load, making sure to use correct lifting technique. If the load support rollers
are installed, you may reorient them, in order to achieve a narrower folded
table width. Tilt the table top to its upright position (see T

follow) and lift the support leg upward, making sure to use correct lifting
technique. Then pull the vertical stabilizer arm back until it straightens out.
Rotate the latch plate to secure the arm in place. To unfold the table, reverse
this procedure. To move a folded table, release the caster brakes and roll the
table to the desired location; then reapply the caster brakes.
