Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your Werner Odd Job Workstand is straightforward:
- Unfold: Grip the top platform and gently pull the legs outwards until they are fully extended.
- Lock Hinges: Ensure that all locking hinges are fully engaged and clicked into place. This is crucial for stability and safety.
- Position: Place the workstand on a flat, stable, and non-slippery surface before stepping on it.
Compatibility
This workstand is compatible with a wide range of indoor and outdoor tasks that require a modest height increase. It's perfect for:
- Painting and decorating
- Wallpapering
- Plastering and preparation work
- Cleaning windows or gutters
- Garden maintenance tasks
- Accessing high shelves or storage areas
It is not designed for use as a scaffold, for supporting heavy loads beyond its specified capacity, or for tasks requiring dynamic movement or significant reach beyond its platform height.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the safety of your workstand:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the aluminum frame and slip-resistant platform with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish or the slip-resistant surface.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the hinges, legs, and platform for any signs of damage, wear, or loose components. Do not use the workstand if any part is damaged.
- Storage: Store the workstand in its folded position in a dry area, away from extreme temperatures and corrosive substances. Ensure it's not stored in a way that could cause damage or bending.
