Installing Height adjusters:

In this step you will be adding the Height Adjusters to the bottom of each Leg.

Place the Steel Stand face-down on your work surface so that all four legs are pointed
up in the air, and are easily accessible, as shown in image A. Place the height
adjuster into the base of the Leg, with the squared end at the bottom of the stand, as
shown in image B
. Each Height Adjuster has several holes that allow you to fi ne
tune your stand height for optimum working conditions. After you have determined
the correct spacing, line up the holes appropriately, insert the four carriage bolts, and
begin to thread the fl ange nuts onto the bolts.

Once the fl ange nuts are tightened suffi ciently, repeat this process for the three
remaining Height Adjusters. After this is complete, you will be ready to install the 4
levelers at the base of the Height Adjusters.

Joining Side Assemblies:

In this step you will be joining the two side assemblies that you assembled in Step 1,
using the four (4) Short Stretchers.

Begin by laying one of the side-assemblies fl at on your work surface. Each Short
Stretcher has 2 staggered holes at both ends which correspond to two sets of
staggered holes on the Legs. These holes are directly adjacent to the holes you used
for connecting the Long Stretchers to the Legs. Take the Short Stretcher, line up the
holes, insert the carriage bolts into the correct holes, and thread the fl ange nuts onto
the bolts, as shown in image A. Use your square, as shown in image B, to bring
the leg and stretcher to a 90 degree angle. Begin to tighten the fl ange nuts while
maintaining a strict right angle, as before.

Once the fl ange nuts are tightened suffi ciently, repeat this process for the three
remaining Short Stretchers. After this is complete, the four Short Stretchers will be
extending vertically from the side-assembly. Next, position the second side-assembly
on top of the Short Stretchers, as shown in image C, and line up the corresponding
holes. Insert the carriage bolts and tighten the fl ange nuts while maintaining strict 90
degree angles, just as before.

Installing Levelers:

In this step you will be adding the Levelers to the bottom of each Height Adjuster.

Rotate one fl ange nut onto the Leveler stud, and thread it down until it is approximately
one inch from the base of the leveler foot, as shown in image A. Then, place the
Leveler Stud through the opening in the bottom of the Height Adjuster, as shown in
image B
. Thread the second fl ange nut onto the Leveler stud, and tighten to lock the
Leveler into place on the Height Adjuster, as shown in image C.

Once the fl ange nut is tightened suffi ciently, and the Leveler is locked into place,
repeat this process on the remaining three (3) Levelers. After all three Levelers are
locked into place, it is a good idea to position the stand right-side-up and test it for
level. Based on your readings, you can adjust the Levelers to compensate for any
discrepancies in the stand or on your fl oor. Simply loosen the two fl ange nuts on the
leveler you wish to adjust, make your small height adjustment, and retighten the nuts
into place. Repeat as necessary.

Constructing Side Assemblies:

In this step you will be joining four (4) Long Stretchers and four (4) Legs to construct two
separate side-assemblies. Special Note: One of your Long Stretchers includes a Kreg logo.
You may choose where you would like this stretcher to be positioned.

Begin by laying two (2) Legs fl at on your work surface. Each Long Stretcher has two
staggered holes at each end which correspond to two sets of staggered holes on the Legs
(one at the top of the leg, and the other directly above the height adjustment holes). Take a
Long Stretcher and lay it on top of the Leg with the corresponding holes lined up, as shown
in image A
. Insert the carriage bolts (from the underside/outside of the assembly) into the
holes and thread the fl ange nuts onto the bolts, as shown in image B. After both carriage
bolts are inserted into the correct holes and the nuts are started, use a square to bring the
legs and stretchers to a 90 degree angle as shown in image C, and begin to tighten the
fl ange nuts. Maintain a strict right angle, as the sturdiness of your table will depend on it.

Once the fl ange nuts are tightened suffi ciently, repeat this step for the remaining Long
Stretcher, to create the fi rst side-assembly. Once the fi rst side assembly is complete, you
may begin assembling the second side assembly in the same way.
