IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Do not load with more than 450 pounds.
2. Do not apply an unbalanced load which could cause the work center to

tip over.

3. Do not use the work center as a stepladder or standing platform. Do

not use the lower platform as a step when the work center is in
“Workbench” position. The footboard is a foot REST only.

4. Do not store work center outdooors or in a damp location.
5. Avoid applying excessive force when clamping with the swivel pegs.
6. Be sure that the legs are fully open (for workbench height) and be sure

that the table locks in position.

7. When using a power tool with the work center, follow the safety 

instructions in the tool’s instruction manual.

8. Always wear safety glasses when operating power tools.
9. An even pressure of the vise jaws on the workpiece is essential. Tighten

both crank handles uniformly.

ASSEMBLY:

The Workmate® 225 Type 3 work center comes partially assembled. A
standard hammer is required for assembly.  A plastic socket wrench is
included. Empty the contents of the box and identify all components 
(see Figure 1). Place the frame (A) on the floor in the position shown in
Figure 1.  Find the release levers near the front rubber feet on the sides of
the frame.  Depress both release levers as shown in Figure 2 and pull up
until you hear the frame lock in place.

VISE JAW BRACKET:

1. Select the vise screws (D) and the pivot nuts (E).  Screw one pivot nut

onto each vise screw about  halfway, as shown in Figure 3.

2. Insert the unthreaded end of the vise screws into the frame such that the

pivot nuts are located in the slots on the top of the frame and the
unthreaded ends protrude through the holes in the front of the frame, as
shown in Figures 3 and 4.

3. Install the two vise cranks (F) and secure them by driving the pins (N)

through the holes in the cranks and the vise screws.  (Align the holes in
the vise cranks with the holes in the vise screws and strike the pins
sharply with a steel hammer until they are flush with the sides of the vise
cranks.)  See Figure 5.  

4. Closely examine the two front top blocks and the two rear ones.  Note

that the front blocks do not have a protruding tab on the bottom side
where the rear blocks do. Select the front vise jaw, (B), and the two front
top blocks, (K).  Place the top blocks on the rails of the frame as shown
in Figure 6.

5. Install the front vise jaw on top of the top blocks so that the small holes

at each end of the jaw fit down over the posts on the top side of the
blocks. With the jaw positioned as described above insert into the frame
as shown in Figure 6, insert two of the four bolts, (M) into the holes in
the jaw and tighten them securely into the holes in the pivot nut. Use the
socket wrench, (J) provided, shown in Figure 1.
NOTE: For clarity, only the left side assembly is shown.  Perform all
operations on right side as well.

6. Select the rear vise jaw, (C) and the two rear top blocks, (L). Position the

rear top blocks on the frame rails so that the tab ears in the bottom of
the blocks fit into the key holes of the frame rail. Position the top  blocks
so their raised posts are toward the rear of the frame, as shown in 
Figure 7.  Now install the rear vise jaw so that the small holes in the
ends of the jaw fit over the raised posts on the top blocks you just
installed.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

WARNING: IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

AND INSTRUCTIONS

TO REDUCE RISK OF INJURY:

• Before any use, be sure everyone using this tool reads and understands

all safety instructions and other information contained in this manual.

• Save these instructions and review frequently prior to use and in

instructing others.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

7. Insert the remaining two bolts, (M) into the holes in the jaw and through

the top blocks into the raised posts of the vise guides.  The holes in the
rear blocks are not threaded so you will feel resistance as you cut
threads into them.

8.  Snap-in crank handle as shown in  Figure 8.
9. To assemble the rubber feet to your Workmate:  Turn the unit upside

down.  Swing out the four legs to the fully extended and locked position.
Align the rubber foot with the leg as shown in Figure 9. Lightly tap foot
into place with a hammer.

CHANGING THE INDEXED POSITION OF THE REAR JAW:

1. Install the rear jaw in 1 of 3 possible indexed “keyhole” positions by

indexing the rear vise jaw into a keyhole in the vise jaw bracket. Secure
the rear jaw by sliding it to the back of the keyhole. As shown in Figure 7.

SWIVEL PEGS:

1. The four supplied swivel pegs can be used in any of the holes in the front

and rear jaws.  The pegs are used in any of the holes in the front and
rear jaws.  The pegs are used to extend the dimensions of your
Workmate’s holding capacity. (Figure 10)
