damage.
2. Do not exceed 700 lb. max weight capacity (base model). Locking brace max weight of 200 lb.
3. Do not allow persons to operate or assemble the product until they have read this manual and have developed
a thorough understanding of how it works.
4. Do not modify this product in any way. Unauthorized modication may impair the function and/or safety and
could affect the life of the product.
5. Use the right tool for the job. DO NOT attempt to force small equipment to
do the work of larger industrial equipment. There are certain applications
for which this equipment was designed. This product will be safer and do
a better job at the capacity for which it was intended. DO NOT use this
equipment for a purpose for which it was not intended.
6. Industrial or commercial applications must follow OSHA requirements.
7. Inspect the work area before each use. Keep work area clean, dry, free of

9. Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes, and other mechanical hazards in your work area.
Some of these hazards may be hidden from your view and may cause personal injury and/or property damage if
contacted.
10. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the tool. Do not use the tool while
you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the
tool may result in serious personal injury.
11. Dress properly. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
12. Wear the proper personal protective equipment when necessary.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

intended function. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never operate the product with a damaged part.
15. Store the product when it is not in use. Store it in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children.
16. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with your product. Accessories that may
be suitable for one product may create a risk of injury when used with another tool.
IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)
1. While loaded, push the dolly from the side with the casters with the foam lled tires forward.
2. Do not exceed 700 lb. max. weight capacity. Be aware that moving loads have more force/weight than stationary
loads. Sudden or rapid load movement may briey create excess force causing product failure or a tipping hazard.
3. If loading a sheet larger than 5 ft. tall, ensure the brace lock is not used. (there is a possibility of the cart falling over
if the center of gravity is outside the large tires caused by the leaning of a very tall sheet like loading the 4 ft. side of
a 4 X 8 sheet.)
4. With the adjusting brace locked open, the maximum load is 200 lbs.
5. This equipment is designed for evenly centered loads. Off-centering of loads can result in a dangerous operating
condition and may cause damage or injury.
6. Be aware that the casters behave differently without a load than with a load.
7. If on a slope, position and lock casters on the down side of the slope.
8. Do not ride on this equipment. Do not carry passengers.
9. Maintain product labels and nameplates. These carry important safety information. If unreadable or missing, contact
Saw Trax Manufacturing for a replacement.
OPERATING THE PANEL EXPRESS

The Panel Express comes standard with two (2) locking casters for easy loading and two (2) foam lled
tires that will not go at.
The Self-adjusting brace mechanism automatically adjusting to hold any load up to 3.5". With the

TIPS AND TRICKS
1. When loaded push the material from behind with the foam lled tires towards the front.
2. When going over obstacles like air hoses, you may want to slightly tilt the load forward to remove weight from the
rear casters.
3. When not wanting to use the Self-adjusting brace mechanism, an easy way to store it so it is not lost is turn it upside
down so the notch is facing up.
