How to assemble
1. 2.
It is important to check that the prod-
uct is not damaged upon arrival and
all parts are intact and everything is
included - see page 6 for contents.
Now from the inside, slide the arm
housings together coupling the box
section into the U channel at each
end to form a bridge.
3.
You will need to install the support arm
housings to the unit using the support
armxingsprovided.Firstly,fromthe
outside, feed in the arm housings so
they are hanging down inside the unit.
They should be opposing orientation.
Now that the support arms are
horizontal and self supporting, whilst
standing over the unit, feed the bolts
from the outside into the nuts inside
the unit (the bolts will be tight through
the holes).

Installing the casters
2.
Insert the caster plate and tighten
the nuts from the bottom using
the adjustable wrench.
4. Repeat step three for the other
wheels. Once complete, check all
nuts are tight, and then ensure the
casters can swivel through 360°
before lowering the CuttingStation.
3.
1. Lift the CuttingStation onto a stable
platform to ensure it not does not
roll and cause injury. The unit MUST
be empty when installing casters.
Two of the casters are swivel
braked.Werecommendttingthe
braked casters at the front of the
unit.

the casters

16
Installing the support arms
2. Screw in one of the star screws
on the rear of the tube part. This
will prevent movement from the
arm and make it adjustable.
4. Next, take one of the rollers and
align its vertical slot with the hole.
Use another star screw to secure
the roller in place on the end of the
support arm.
1. Take one of the support arms and
insert into the side tube located on
the body of the CuttingStation. Before
the support can be installed, the inner
support sections must be installed -
see page 12 on how to do this.
Video: how to install
support arms
3. To assemble material support, feed
one end of roller through the hole of
the T-piece, then push through other
sprung loaded end until it is in place.
Repeat to locate V-piece ensuring it’s
facing the correct direction. It should
bexedintheorientationasshown.

Attaching the power strip
2. Take the strip and align the unit holes
with the ones in the plates. Insert the
bolts and tighten with the wrench. Be
sure to position the power bar with the
cord facing down.
3. Ensurethestripisttedontightly

strip when not in use.
1. Locatethepre-drilledholestot
the power strip inside on the left of
the CuttingStation.
4. Ensure the cable is trailing away from
any hazards and exits the CuttingSta-
tion through the rubber grommet at the
rear. Never use in wet conditions.

Attaching the light
2. This can be plugged into the power
strip provided.
1. Use the magnetic light to position in
correct location of the unit.
3. Use zip ties to ensure cable doesn’t
interfere within the working area.

How to use the dust collector
1. Dust/debris/waste can be collected
using the hopper. Always place chute
above a metal bin or suitable collection
container for sparks cutting.
2. Debris can be collected in a bucket
placed beneath the chute at the rear
of the CuttingStation. Alternatively, a
suitable dust extractor or bag can be
attached to the 2” tube.
if attaching a dust extractor or vacuum, it is the responsibility of the user to ensure it is
suitable for the materials that are being cut inside the CuttingStation.
