Dangers due to electrical energy

• Do not connect the workstation frame to the mains electricity until the assembly is complete.
• Check the electrical equipment in the workstation frame regularly to see that it complies with national
legislation.
• Do not use any wires with damaged insulation. This will increase the risk of electric shock. If any wiring
is found to be damaged, replace it immediately with new wiring.
• Do not position the power feed near any sources of heat. The persistent heat could damage the wire.
This could easily lead to a fire or a short circuit.
• Disconnect the workstation frame from the mains electricity if the frame is not in use for an extended
period.
Use of the workstation frame
• Do not allow children to use the workstation frame unsupervised. Children may be unaware of the
dangers presented by the workstation frame. They would be in serious danger of injuring themselves,
possibly even with fatal consequences.
• The workstation frame must only be used in appropriate areas (Technical Specifications).
• Do not use the workstation frame on an uneven surface. In such conditions it will not be steady.
• Keep a break of at least 18 minutes after each height adjustment (max. 2 min).
• Never exceed the maximum load on the workstation frame (Technical Specifications).

Specific dangers

• When adjusting the height of the frame there is danger of injury. Make sure that there is no-one else in
the immediate surroundings of the frame.
• When assembling the workstation frame, make sure there is ample space to avoid collisions (i.e.
inclination of roof, fixed objects, filing cabinets, waste-paper bins etc.) in all imaginable directions.
• Make sure there is ample space to avoid collisions if there are objects on the work surface such as
computers or computer peripherals.
• Make sure there is clearance of at least 25mm from all other furniture, all around the workstation frame.

In an emergency

• Leave the immediate surroundings of the workstation frame at once if it starts to move spontaneously.
Under no circumstances attempt to operate the workstation frame. Have the workstation frame repaired
by specialists. Refrain from using the workstation frame until it has been successfully repaired.
• Stop using the workstation frame at once if you notice anything unusual (strange sounds, smoke, etc.).
Have the workstation frame repaired by specialists. Refrain from using the workstation frame until it has
