4. Аперацыя

The PM-3300T sawhorses are designed for versatility and can be used with or without an additional wood top.

Using the Steel Top:

For general use, you can place your workpiece directly on the steel top of the sawhorses. The robust steel provides a strong and durable surface.

Attaching a Wood Top (Sacrificial Top):

For tasks that involve cutting or drilling, it is recommended to attach a sacrificial wood top (e.g., 2" x 4" or 2" x 6") to protect the steel surface of the sawhorses. This also provides a surface that can be cut into without damaging the sawhorse itself.

  1. Падрыхтуйце драўніну: Cut a 2" x 4" or 2" x 6" piece of wood to the desired length, typically matching the length of the sawhorse top (39 inches). Ensure the wood is straight and free of warps to maintain stability.
  2. Выраўнаваць і замацаваць: Place the wood piece on top of the sawhorse. The sawhorse top is pre-drilled with holes to facilitate easy attachment. Align the wood with these holes.
  3. Замацаваць: Use appropriate screws (not included) to fasten the wood piece securely to the sawhorse through the pre-drilled holes. Repeat for the second sawhorse.

5. Тэхнічнае абслугоўванне

Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and continued performance of your Bora Portamate Sawhorses:

  • Уборка: After each use, wipe down the sawhorses with a damp cloth to remove dust, sawdust, and debris. For stubborn grime, a mild soap solution can be used. Dry thoroughly.
  • Прадухіленне іржы: The sawhorses feature a rust-resistant powder coat finish. However, to prevent rust, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. If the finish is scratched or chipped, consider touching up the area with rust-inhibiting paint.
  • змазка: Periodically apply a small amount of lubricant to the folding mechanisms and locking pins to ensure smooth operation.
  • захоўванне: Store the sawhorses in a dry environment when not in use. Their folding design allows for compact storage, which also helps protect them from environmental elements.

6. Выпраўленне непаладак

Вось некаторыя распаўсюджаныя праблемы і іх магчымыя рашэнні:

Sawhorse Wobbles After Setup:

  • Няроўная паверхня: Ensure the sawhorses are placed on a completely flat and level surface. Uneven ground is a common cause of wobbling.
  • Legs Not Fully Locked: Verify that all four legs are fully extended and the locking pins are securely engaged. Push down firmly on the top of the sawhorse to ensure the legs are seated properly.
  • Warped Wood Top: If you have attached a sacrificial wood top, check if the wood itself is warped or twisted. A warped wood top can transfer instability to the sawhorses. Replace or shim the wood top as needed.
  • Damaged Leg Mechanism: Inspect the leg folding and locking mechanisms for any visible damage or bending. If damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support.
