Material handling is dangerous. Improper or careless operation of this table might result in serious
personal injuries.
Failure to read and understand the entire manual before assembling, using or servicing the product
constitutes misuse

maintenance procedures.
DO NOT install the table outdoors or in corrosive environments. ONLY install the table on compacted, improved
surfaces (e.g. concrete) that are level and even. The surface must be capable of supporting the combined weight of
the table and a full capacity load.
DO NOT use the table unless it is in normal operating condition. Inspect the unit as described in the inspection
instructions on p. 6. DO NOT use the machine unless it passes
every
part of the appropriate inspection or until it is
restored to normal operating condition.
DO NOT use the table to lift people. DO NOT stand on the table frame or climb onto the tabletop.
Always watch the table carefully while applying a load to it.
Avoid pinch points. Pinch points are created as the table rises and lowers do to the pivoting motion of the scissor
legs. NEVER reach into or put any part of your body between the scissor legs.
Always load the table properly (see p. 2). Center and evenly distribute all loads applied to this table.
The tabletop should elevate evenly as weight is removed from it and lower smoothly as weight is applied to it.
Watch for binding or jerky movement and listen for unusual noises. Remove the unit from service if you observe
anything abnormal.
DO NOT apply loads to this table on broken or damaged pallets. Examine each pallet to confirm that no nails
protrude from the surfaces and that all boards are intact. A damaged/broken pallet might interfere with tabletop
rotation. A sudden stop while rotating the tabletop could cause the load to shift or fall.
Lift a load high enough that it is clearly no longer in contact with the tabletop before backing away from the table.
If the table must be moved, completely unload it first.
DO NOT use this table UNLESS all labels are in place & readable (see “Labeling diagram” on p. 7.)
DO NOT modify this product in any way. Modifying the machine automatically voids the limited warranty (see p. 8).
