Workmaster E Series Bench Assembly:
Step 1:
Attach beam connector plates to the ends of the bench support beams using the 5/16-18 x .75 hex head bolts
and 1/4 flat washers supplied as shown. DO NOT TIGHTEN THE HARDWARE. If you have ordered a TE1
Electrical Channel it installs in the same way as the standard support beam and can be installed in the front or
rear beam location. (See Part 2, page 17)
Step 2:
Place worksurface topside down on smooth flat surface being sure to protect it from damage by foreign
objects. IAC recommends the use of packing type blankets or clean cardboard. Place the support beams on
the worksurface with the open side toward the center of the worksurface and align the slots of the support
beams over the threaded inserts in the worksurface as shown. Thread 1/4-20 x .75 hex head bolts and 1/4 flat
washers into the threaded inserts to attach the beams to the worksurface. DO NOT TIGHTEN THE
HARDWARE.

Workmaster E Series Bench Assembly:
Step 3:
Align the workbench pedestals over the ends of the support beams and lower them down over the beam
connector plates so that the plates are on the inside of the pedestal tubing. Align the slots in the pedestal
support beam over the inserts in the worksurface and thread the 1/4-20 x .75 hex head bolts with the 1/4 flat
washers into the inserts. Tighten the beam connector hardware. The frame should now be aligned on the
worksurface to even the overhangs on the right and left sides tighten the beam attachment and the pedestal
support hardware. NOTE: Do not over tighten the hardware that goes into the threaded inserts in the
worksurface as this could cause the inserts to pull out of the worksurface.
Step 4:
Slide the workbench leg extender into the pedestal tube making sure the plastic insert in the end of the leg
extender is exposed. Align the threads of the leg extender with the holes in the pedestal tube and select the
desired height of the bench. Thread the 1/4-20 x .75 hex head bolts with the 1/4 flat washers into the threaded
holes in the leg extender and tighten. Thread the floor glide into the plastic insert of the leg extender. The floor
glides are used to level the bench when assembly is complete and it is put into position.
If you have ordered footrests, drawers, lower shelves or suspended cabinets for this bench please see
pages15 thru 26 for assembly instructions. If not the workbench can be turned over for assembly of above the
worksurface accessories or it can be put into place.
