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
manual.
2.6 Transport and assembly
• The workstation frame must only be moved when it is disconnected from mains electrici-
ty (i.e. when the plug has been removed from the socket).
• The workstation frame must be moved by two persons only, and in such cases must be
retracted.
• 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.
2.7 Safety/protective measures
• Replace the drives if the circuit breaker in the drives fails. Faulty circuit breakers will not
switch off the drive in the top/bottom setting. In such cases, the workstation frame has
been taken to the mechanical stop and can no longer be raised/lowered.
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 information
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. Overload-
ing could lead to breakage and serious injury as a consequence.

2.8 Dangers due to electrical energy
• Do not connect the workstation frame to the mains electricity until the assembly is com-
plete.
• Check the electrical equipment in the workstation frame regularly to see that it complies
with national legislation (e.g. Unfallverhütungsvorschriften in Germany).
• Do not use any wires with damaged insulation. This will increase the risk of electric shock. If
any wiring is found to be damaged, replace it immediately with new wiring.
• Do not position the power feed near any sources of heat. The persistent heat could dam-
age the wire. This could easily lead to a fire or a short circuit.
• Disconnect the workstation frame from the mains electricity if the frame is not in use for an
extended period.
2.9 Use of the workstation frame
• Do not allow children to use the workstation frame unsupervised. Children may be una-
ware of the dangers presented by the workstation frame. They would be in serious danger
of injuring themselves, possibly even with fatal consequences. Further adjustment must
then be impossible as a safeguard against use by children.
• The workstation frame must only be used in appropriate areas (see Section 4, Technical
Data).
• Do not use the workstation frame on an uneven surface. In such conditions it will not be
steady.
• Be aware that the workstation frame has a 10% time lag. This means that no further adjust-
ment in height is possible for a further nine (9) minutes.
• Never exceed the maximum load on the workstation frame (see Section 4, Technical Da-
ta).
2.10 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 colli-
sions (i.e. inclination of roof, fixed objects, filing cabinets, waste-paper bins etc.) in all imag-
inable 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-
station frame.

7
2.11 In an emergency
• Leave the immediate surroundings of the workstation frame at once if it starts to move
spontaneously. Under no circumstances attempt to operate the workstation frame. Have
the workstation frame repaired by specialists. Refrain from using the workstation frame until
it has been successfully repaired.
• Stop using the workstation frame at once if you notice anything unusual (strange sounds,
smoke, etc.).
• Have the workstation frame repaired by specialists. Refrain from using the workstation
frame until it has been successfully repaired.
• Stop using the workstation frame at once if its safety features (e.g. key switch, end switch)
fail to work as they should.
2.12 Maintenance and upkeep
• The workstation frame and its components are low-maintenance items and need no spe-
cial 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.
• Do not exceed the maximum time lag of the workstation frame (see Section 2.9 Use of the
workstation 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.
