1 General
1.1 Local value of the assembly/operating manual
The guiding principle for safe use and trouble-free operation of this workstation frame is knowledge
of basic safety information and regulations. This assembly/operating manual contains the most im-
portant information needed for assembling and operating the workstation frame safely. This assem-
bly/operating manual, in particular the safety information contained herein, must be observed by any
person building the frame and working on the finished surface. More importantly, the rules and regu-
lations applying to accident prevention in the locality in which the workstation frame is to be used
must be observed at all times.
1.2 Intended use
The workstation frame must be used only as a manually height-adjustable workstation for sitting/
standing use in offices or other enclosed areas. The frame must be used for this purpose only. Please
observe the provisions of Section 2, Safety Information. Children may be unaware of the dangers pre-
sented by the workstation frame if unsupervised. Any other use than the above shall be deemed im-
proper. The manufacturer can in no way be held liable for damage arising from improper use.
Intended use shall also include:
• Observation of all information from the assembly/operating manual and
• Prohibition of any sort of addition to/conversion of the workstation.
1.3 Improper use
• Never use the workstation frame to lift people or loads.
• Do not exceed the maximum load of the workstation frame (see Section 4, Technical Specifica-
tions).
WARNING Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

2 Safety Information
2.1 Symbols/warnings
The assembly/operating manual uses the following terms and signs to indicate dangers:
2.2 Symbols used on the workstation frame
2.3 Organizational measures
• The workstation frame can best be assembled by two people. Turning the frame, once the
work surface has been fitted, is a task in particular which requires two people!
2.4 Informal safety measures
• Keep the assembly/operating manual in the place where the workstation frame is used at all
times.
• Make sure that all safety information on the table (see Section 2.2, Symbols used on the
workstation frame, page 5) is legible, replacing the same if necessary.
2.5 Note for those assembling the workstation
• The workstation must be assembled/worked on by persons over the age of 16.
• The persons referred to above must have read and understood the assembly/operating manu-
al.
2.6 Transport and assembly
• The workstation frame must be moved by two persons only, and in such cases must be re-
tracted.
• Do not drag or pull the workstation frame over the floor.
• Assemble the workstation frame with the supplied tools only. They are the only tools which
ensure that the screws can be tightened to the correct torque.
This symbol indicates an immediate threatening situation for any person’s life
or health. Failure to adhere to such information may have serious consequences
for health, or could even result in life-threatening injury or death.
This symbol indicates important information. Failure to adhere to such infor-
mation could lead to damage to the workstation.

Do not place objects or parts of the body under the workstation frame or be-
tween the cross members. This could cause serious injury.
Do not exceed the maximum permitted load on the workstation frame. Over-
loading could lead to breakage and serious injury as a consequence.

6
2.7 Use of the workstation frame
• Do not allow children to use the workstation frame unsupervised. Children may be unaware
of the dangers presented by the workstation frame. They would be in serious danger of injur-
ing themselves, possibly even with fatal consequences. Further adjustment must then be im-
possible as a safeguard against use by children.
• The workstation frame must only be used in appropriate areas (see Section 4 Technical
Specifications).
• Do not use the workstation frame on an uneven surface. In such conditions it will not be
steady.
• Never exceed the maximum load on the workstation frame (see Section 4 Technical Specifi-
cations).
2.8 Specific dangers
• When adjusting the height of the frame there is danger of injury. Make sure that there is no-
one else in the immediate surroundings of the frame.
• When assembling the workstation frame, make sure there is ample space to avoid collisions
(i.e. inclination of roof, fixed objects, filing cabinets, waste-paper bins etc.) in all imaginable
directions.
• Make sure there is ample space to avoid collisions if there are objects on the work surface
such as computers or computer peripherals.
• Make sure there is clearance of at least 25 mm from all other furniture, all around the work-
2.9 In an emergency
• Stop using the workstation frame at once if you notice anything unusual (strange sounds
etc.).
• Have the workstation frame repaired by specialists. Refrain from using the workstation
frame until it has been successfully repaired.
2.10 Maintenance and upkeep
• The workstation frame and its components are low-maintenance items and need no special
regular maintenance.
• Do not perform any repairs on the work surface or other components yourself.
• Do not alter the construction of the work surface or its frame.
• Any faulty components removed must be replaced with new, original components from the
manufacturer. Use only original replacement parts made by the manufacturer. Have any such
work carried out by a specialist, making reference to this Assembly/operating manual.
2.11 Cleaning
• Dust the workstation frame once a week with a dry cloth.
• Clean the workstation frame with a damp cloth and a weak solution of cleaner once a fort-
night.
2.12 Persistent risks
This workstation frame has been built to the state of the art and to recognized safety regulations.
Nonetheless, its use may constitute a risk to the health and safety of users or third parties, damage
to the workstation frame or to other items. The workstation frame must be used only:
• for the purpose for which it was intended.
• if it is completely safe so to do.
