Place the pipe stand on a solid, flat and level
surface. When the pipe stand can shift or rock,
the power tool or workpiece cannot be steadily and
safely controlled.
When collapsed, place stand on it's side or secure
before leaving unattended. Leaving the collapsed
stand vertically may cause the stand to tip over.
Do not overload the pipe stand or use as ladder
or scaffolding.Overloading or standing on the
pipe stand causes the stand to be “top-heavy” and
likely to tip over.
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered, dark
work areas invite accidents.
Maintain control. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
•Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
•Avoid dangerous environments. Use the pipe
stand on flat, level, dry, and hard surfaces only.

•
•
Maintain pipe stand carefully. Keep pipe stand
dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Follow
instructions for changing accessories. Periodically
inspect pipe stand for damage and wear.
Keep bystanders away. Children and bystanders
should be kept at a safe distance from the work area
to avoid distracting the operator.
•
To reduce the risk of injury, always wear eye
protection.
Inspect the pipe stand and screws periodically
and replace immediately if cracked, worn, or
damaged. Do not attempt to fix or mend damaged
pipe stand or fasteners.
Fingers can be pinched between the legs and
the underside of the tabletop. To reduce the risk
of injury, keep fingers out of the areas where the
legs will secure into place.
