MPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Do not load with more than 450 pounds.

2. Do not apply an unbalanced load which could cause the work center to tip over.

3. Do not use the work center as a stepladder or standing platform. Do not use the lower

platform as a step when the work center is in “Workbench” position. The footboard is a

foot REST only.

4. Do not store work center outdoors or in a damp location.

5. Avoid applying excessive force when clamping with the swivel pegs.

6. Be sure that the legs are fully open (for workbench height) and be sure that the table

locks in position.

7. When using a power tool with the work center, follow the safety instructions in the

tool’s instruction manual.

8. Always wear safety glasses when operating power tools.

9. An even pressure of the vise jaws on the workpiece is essential. Tighten both crank

handles uniformly.

SAVE THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

TO REDUCE RISK OF INJURY:

• Before any use, be sure everyone using this tool reads and understands all safety

instructions and other information contained in this manual.

• Save these instructions and review frequently prior to use and in instructing others.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

ASSEMBLY:

The Workmate®225 Type 5 work center comes partially assembled. A standard hammer

is required for assembly. A plastic socket wrench is included. Empty the contents of the

box and identify all components (see Figure 1). Place the frame (A) on the floor in the

position shown in Figure 1. Find the release levers near the front rubber feet on the

sides of the frame. Depress both release levers as shown in Figure 2 and pull up until

you hear the frame lock in place.

VISE JAW BRACKET:

1. Select the vise screws (D) and the pivot nuts (E). Screw one pivot nut onto each

vise screw about halfway as shown in Figure 3, assemble washer (P) on vise screw.

2. Insert the unthreaded end of the vise screws into the frame such that the pivot nuts

are located in the slots on the top of the frame and the unthreaded ends protrude

through the holes in the front of the frame, as shown in Figures 3 and 4.

3. Install the two vise cranks (F) and secure them by driving the pins (N) through the

holes in the cranks and the vise screws. (Align the holes in the vise cranks with the

holes in the vise screws and strike the pins sharply with a steel hammer until they

are flush with the sides of the vise cranks.) See Figure 5.

4. Closely examine the two front top blocks and the two rear ones. Note that the front

blocks do not have a protruding tab on the bottom side where the rear blocks do.

Select the front vise jaw, (B), and the two front top blocks, (K). Place the top blocks

on the rails of the frame as shown in Figure 6.

5. Install the front vise jaw on top of the top blocks so that the small holes at each end

of the jaw fit down over the posts on the top side of the blocks. With the jaw

positioned as described above insert into the frame as shown in Figure 6, insert two

of the four bolts, (M) into the holes in the jaw and tighten them securely into the

holes in the pivot nut. Use the socket wrench, (J) provided, shown in Figure 1.

NOTE: For clarity, only the left side assembly is shown. Perform all operations

on right side as well.

6. Select the rear vise jaw, (C) and the two rear top blocks, (L). Position the rear top

blocks on the frame rails so that the tab ears in the bottom of the blocks fit into the

key holes of the frame rail. Position the top blocks so their raised posts are toward

the rear of the frame, as shown in Figure 7. Now install the rear vise jaw so that the

small holes in the ends of the jaw fit over the raised posts on the top blocks you just

installed.

7. Insert the remaining two bolts, (M) into the holes in the jaw and through the top

blocks into the raised posts of the vise guides. The holes in the rear blocks are not

threaded so you will feel resistance as you cut threads into them.

WARNING: IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

8. Snap-in crank handle as shown in Figure 8.

9. To assemble the rubber feet to your Workmate: Turn the unit upside down. Swing

out the four legs to the fully extended and locked position. Align the rubber foot with

the leg as shown in Figure 9. Lightly tap foot into place with a hammer.

CHANGING THE INDEXED POSITION OF THE REAR JAW:

1. Install the rear jaw in 1 of 3 possible indexed “keyhole” positions by indexing the rear

vise jaw into a keyhole in the vise jaw bracket. Secure the rear jaw by sliding it to the

back of the keyhole. As shown in Figure 7.

SWIVEL PEGS:

1. The four supplied swivel pegs can be used in any of the holes in the front and rear

jaws. The pegs are used to extend the dimensions of your Workmate’s holding

capacity. (Figure 10)
