bench and are an optional extra to be purchased separately.

APIBP1500 .............. Back panel assembly for API1500

APIBP1800 .............. Back panel assembly for API1800

APIBP2100 .............. Back panel assembly for API2100

Take the three back panel supports and clamp them to the

back edge of the bench ensuring that a clamping plate is

inserted between the clamping knob spindle and the underside

of the bench top as shown in fig.6. Adjust the positions of the

uprights until the tool panels can be slotted into position

followed by the bin panels above them as shown in fig.5 . On

the outer uprights the back panels should occupy the inner line

of slots leaving one row of slots visible.

4.1 Three widths of shelf unit can be purchased as an optional

extra to match the three back panel kits. The shelves hook

into the outer uprights as shown in fig.7 and stand away from

the panels slightly allowing them to be put at any height.

5.1 A Vice Mounting Clamp API10 can be can be purchased as an

optional extra to provide a base plate to which a vice can be

mounted. The mounting clamp also allows the vice to be

stored out of the way, below the bench, when a full free work

surface is required.

5.2 Fig.8 below shows the clamp in the stowed away orientation.

The mounting bars have to be removed from the clamp and

positioned under the bench as shown in fig.9-V. Place each

bar in a diagonal orientation under the bench top then turn it

so that the ends are over the upper beams. Allow the slots in

the ends of the mounting bars to rest over the upturned edges

5.3 The main clamp is attached to a tube which is a sliding fit

inside the main mounting tube. Withdraw the clamp from the

mounting tube and fix the mounting tube to the two bars 'V',

under the work top using four short bolts as shown in fig.10

5.4 Insert the clamp tube into the mounting tube as shown in

fig.11-Y and rotate the clamp so that it is uppermost. Push the

clamp tube into the mounting tube until the clamp comes up

against the edge of the bench and laps over the top of it as

shown in fig.12.

5.5 Loosen and remove the four bolts on the front of the clamp

and lift the top plate away. Bolt the chosen vice to the top plate

ensuring that the fixings are within the depth of the plate.

Place the vice and plate back onto the top of the bench over

the lower part of the clamp and bolt the two parts back

together again. Tighten the clamping knob on the underside of

the clamp assembly. See fig.11-Z.

5.6 To stow the vice under the bench loosen the clamping knob

on the underside of the clamp assembly. See fig.11-Z. Keeping

a firm hold on the assembly pull the vice and top plate

forwards until they are clear of the bench edge. Allow the

assembly to slowly rotate through 180º until it is hanging

downwards. Push the assembly under the front edge of the

bench until it is in the orientation shown in fig.8.
