Figure 8: Food pedal for height
•
By actuating the foot pedal (
A
) downwards, the internal hydraulics re-
act to the tie bars in the columns and move the table top gradually
upwards. To reach the complete lifting height, approx. 40 actuations
are required.
•
When the foot pedal (
A
) is released, the movement stops and the
working platform remains in this position. In order to adjust the Er-
goplan infinitely and exactly to the desired position, the foot pedal (
A
)
can be released at any point.
•
By actuating the foot pedal (
B
), the working platform is lowered
downwards for the duration of the operation.
The hydraulic force is transmitted to the hydraulic cylinder via the foot pump. Foot pump and hydraulic cylin-
der are a fixed unit.

Handling the Work Bench Top
The ergonomic work and assembly benches of the Ergoplan EP1 and EP2 series are equipped with a solid work
bench top made of red beech wood. The surface is waxed and polished. In order to keep the work bench in
perfect condition, certain instructions must be followed (see also section
Fire hazard! Do not carry out any work with naked flames (e.g. welding) on the wooden plate!
11.1
Chiselling and Drilling Work on the Work Bench
To protect the surface from scratches and damage, generally use a sufficiently high base (e.g.
wooden board) for chiselling work or when drilling on the work bench top.
•
If damage, scratches or drill holes nevertheless occur on the work bench top, you can putty them out and then
sand them cleanly flat.
•
In addition, the work bench top should be treated with linseed oil depending on use and wear, but at least
once a year. An additional positive aspect of care with linseed oil is that glue residues and stains can be re-
moved very quickly and easily afterwards.
11.2
Workpiece Clamping
Caution! Danger of crushing hands and fingers between the jaws and/or supplementary clamp-
ing devices (such as clamping dogs and stops) and the workpiece.
Danger of cutting and abrasion due to sharp workpiece edges and pointed corners. Handle sharp-
edged and pointed workpieces with care and wear protective gloves if necessary.
There are various ways to clamp a workpiece on the work bench top.
