FOLDAWAY PROCEDURE
The WM2000 folds flat for storage,
carrying or taking to the workplace.
To fold away it is important that the
following procedure is followed.
Ensure that the centreboard is securely
clamped between the two vice jaws fig. 10
or removed altogether.
Place WM2000 flat on its work top fig. 2
and release the metal struts on the front
pair of legs and fold away.
Repeat this exercise for the rear legs
ensuring that the retaining latches are
engaged to hold the rear legs securely.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not use crossmembers as a stepladder or stand on top of the WM2000.
• Never drop heavy loads onto your WM2000 always ensure that they are gently placed into
position.
• Although your WM2000 can be used to provide a secure and safe mount for power tools and
attachments (use vice pegs to secure units), it is important to always disconnect the power tool
from the mains supply when setting up or making adjustments.
• Check all moving parts, pivots etc for wear, damage or looseness.
Please note:
“Do not carry your WM2000 by the vice jaws. We recommend the use of the front crossmember
as a suitable carrying point. Ensure the centre board is either removed or secure before
transporting”.
• Always ensure the WM2000 is used on a flat level surface.
• Always locate safety locks by pressing firmly on each vice jaw before use.

VICE JAWS AND CENTRE BOARD OPERATION
By loosening the two tommy bar handles
the centreboard can be removed
converting the WM2000 into a large
capacity vice. Each tommy bar works
independently so that the front vice jaw
can be adjusted into a tapered position
when required (fig. 4). The rear vice jaw is
adjusted by a snap lock mechanism
(pressure upwards releases the jaw, and
downwards pressure locks the jaw) and
can be repositioned into a series of
parallel holes (fig. 4).
The centre board can be used between
the two bottom crossframe members
when greater capacity is required fig. 4 &
fig. 7.
