Tennsco Industrial Workbench with Steel Top - Manual (Page 2)

ASSEMBLY OF INDUSTRIAL WORKBENCH
1. If you are installing the optional side and back
rails, and are also installing an optional riser,
the riser must be in position first. NOTE: The
riser and rails share some of the same bolts
and nuts. To avoid having to re-do parts of
the installation, please refer to the riser instruc-
tions as you install the side and back rails.
3. Place a workbench leg (Ref. No. 3) on the top,
aligning the four end holes as shown below.
Attach it by first threading
two 1 / 4
"-20 x 5 / 8
" bolts
(Ref. No. 18) through
the leg, the top, and
into the welded
nuts on the
mounting bracket.
Then insert two
more bolts through
the leg and top,
and secure with two
1 / 4
"-20 nuts (Ref. No. 19).
Attach the other leg in the
same way.
NOTE: The drawings throughout this instruction
sheet show the flared leg. If your bench
came with adjustable legs, the legs will
look different than the drawings shown
throughout these instructions. The drawing
shown here illustrates an example of both
leg styles: the flared leg (shown at left)
and the adjustable leg (shown at right).
1. Place the workbench top
(Ref. No. 1) upside down
on two sawhorses
or a flat surface.
Locate two
mounting brackets
(Ref. No. 2),
which will be
inserted into the
workbench top at each end.
Open
end
of
bracket
faces
into
the
top.
Tools Needed: A phillips-head screwdriver and a 7 /
16
" wrench or nut driver.
Approximate assembly time for basic bench: 15 to 25 minutes.
Four bolts, nuts,
and lockwashers
on each end of
stringer.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
Optional Workbench Drawer
2. Insert a mounting
bracket into one side
of the top. Make
sure that the side
with the most holes
is facing up, and
that the open end is
facing into the top.
The holes in the top of
the bracket ends will align
with the last holes in the workbench top.
4. The two remaining mounting brackets are
used either for additional desktop support,
or to mount a workbench drawer. If you
are adding the drawer to your
bench, skip to
step 5. Otherwise,
attach the two
remaining mounting
brackets under the
lip of the bench top
for extra support, using
one bolt on each end
of each bracket. The brackets should
be evenly spaced for maximum support.
(NOTE: If attaching an
optional drawer, you may
want to leave the bench in
the upside-down position.)
6. If you purchased only the
basic workbench, your bench is
now complete. The remaining
instructions show assembly of
optional accessories
(such as
the work-
bench
drawer,
the lower
shelf, side
and back
rails, or
risers).
Optional Lower Shelf
Optional Riser or Electronic Riser
Optional Side and Back Rails
For assembly and installation of a riser or
electronic riser, please refer to the instructions
which came with the riser kit.
Mounting Bracket
slides under the
bench top lip.
1. Remove the drawer
(Ref. No. 6)
from the drawer
housing (Ref.
No. 7)
2. If using a padlock,
place the lock hasp (Ref.
No. 8) onto the two bolts
which extend down from the
drawer housing. Attach using two
1 / 4
"-20 nuts. Remove the rectangu-
lar knock out panel on drawer front.
3. Attach the two remaining mounting brackets
(referred to in step 4 on the previous
page) in the desired location on the
workbench top. It is most common to
place the drawer to either the far
left or far right side of the bench,
but the
drawer can
be placed
anywhere
where
there are two
holes in the bench
top that are 15" apart.
Secure with two 1 / 4
"-20 x
5 / 8
" bolts per mounting
bracket.
4. Attach the
drawer housing to the
mounting brackets. Secure
with four 1 /
4
"-20 x 5 /
8
" bolts.
6. With the workbench
upright, slide the
drawer back into the
drawer housing by
tilting downward to let
the drawer rollers move
past each other.
5. To install optional cam
lock (Ref. No. 11), punch out the round
knock-out panel in the drawer front.
Then insert the cam lock through the
hole, and secure with forked clip.
1. Place the shelf (Ref.
No. 12) on
the brace of
each leg.
Attach with
three 1 / 4
"-20
x 5 /
8
" bolts
and nuts on
each end of the
shelf as shown.
Three
bolts and
nuts on
each end.

3. Attach the back rail
(Ref. No. 14) by placing
the flange of the rail
under the bench top.
Attach with eight 1 / 4
"-20 x
5 / 8
" bolts and nuts along
the bottom.
(NOTE: Where there is a
mounting bracket under the
bench, you will first need to
remove the bolt from the
mounting bracket. The bolt will
go through both the back rail
and the mounting bracket. No
nut will be needed in these
locations.)
Rounded
edge toward
front
4. Attach the back rail
to the side rails,
using two 1 /
4
"-20
x 5 / 8
" bolts and
nuts on each end.
2. Place a side rail (Ref. No. 13) on one side of the
workbench top, making sure that the
rounded edge is toward the front
of the bench. Attach with
four 1 / 4
"-20 x 5 / 8
bolts and
nuts
along the
bottom edge.
Repeat this
step for the
other side
of the workbench.
Back Rail Side

NOTE: The stringer
attaches to the flat area
of the leg. For flared
legs, this will be on the
inside of each leg; for
adjustable legs, this will
be on the outside of each
leg (see the illustrations
at right).
5. Attach the stringer (Ref. No. 4) to the rear
legs, skipping the top two holes and
using the next four holes from the
top of each leg. (The legs
are symetrical, so the
front and rear
of the bench
will be deter-
mined by
where you
place the stringer.)
Attach with eight bolts
nuts, and lockwashers.
Flared Leg:
stringer attaches to
