Black & Decker Workmate 425 TYPE 5 - Workbench Manual

ASSEMBLY

1. The Workmate^®425 work center comes partially assembled. Empty the carton completely onto the floor and identify all the components. (Fig. 1)
   
2. Assemble two top blocks to the underside of the rear jaw by fitting the raised posts on the top blocks into the smaller holes of the rear jaw. Insert bolts through the rear jaw and into top blocks and tighten with supplied wrench. (Fig. 2)
   
3. Assemble top blocks to middle jaw the same as rear jaw. (Fig. 3)
   
4. Remove the white clip from the end of each vise screw and discard. (Clip is for protection of part only.)
5. Aligning the hole in the vise crank with the hole in the vise screw, push the vise crank onto the vise screw end (protruding from the front of the vise jaw bracket). Using a hammer, drive the supplied pin into the aligned holes. Repeat this procedure for the installation of the other vise crank. (Fig. 4)
   
6. Complete the assembly by pushing the snap-in knobs into the holes in the vise cranks.(Fig. 5)
   
7. Install the front vise jaw on top of the top blocks so that the small holes at each end of the vise jaw fit down over the posts on the top side of the blocks. With the jaw positioned as described above insert into the frame as shown in figure 6. Insert a bolt into the holes in the jaw and tighten them securely into the holes in the pivot nut. Use the socket wrench provided.
   
8. Tip the front of the Workmate^® up and rest it against your knee as shown in Fig. 7. Pull upwards on both left and right release levers to unlock Workmate^® (Fig. 7a). Using both hands, push the top of the Workmate^® up and away from you while holding the footrest with your other hand until the frame locks in place. (Fig.7b) Note: New Workmate^® are stiff and require more effort to raise into the locked working position. To close the Workmate^® for storage, pull upward on the two release levers to unlock the Workmate^®. While holding the levers up pull back and down to close the Workmate^®. (Fig.7c)
