Warning: Ensure that the table or bench that you intend to use for the
mounting of the working surface is large and sturdy enough to support the
working surface when it is fully loaded with equipment. When fully
equipped, the working surface can collapse the table if it is not wide enough
or sturdy enough to support the weight. Recommended surfaces should be
rated to support at least 100 kg (220 lbs.) and have minimum dimensions of
1500 mm x 500 mm. Surface thickness must be between 20 mm and 40 mm.
Read the mounting instructions in this section before selecting a table.
Additional length and/or width may be required depending on the structure
of the table itself. You may also want to consider the properties of the table
with regard to storage space, ease of access, and mobility. You will be
drilling holes into the table and then securing the working surface with
screws and washers, which are included.
To mount the working surface onto a table or bench:
Note: For detailed diagrams of the assembly and part numbers of the fasteners, see document
101970 (sub-document D00-1800-0002).
1. Choose an appropriately sized (minimum dimensions 1500 mm x 500 mm) and sturdy table.
2. Using a pencil, mark four targets for drilling, as shown in this diagram.
3. Using a power drill with the appropriately sized drill bits, drill four holes, each 12 mm in
diameter, into the targets on the table.
4. Carefully lift the working surface and place it onto the table. Center each of the four legs
(vertical profiles) on top of the four holes.
