SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Vestil strives to identify all hazards associated with the use of our products. However, material
handling is dangerous and no manual can address every risk. The most effective way to avoid injury is
for the end-user to exercise sound judgment whenever using this product.
Improper or careless operation might result in serious personal injuries or death.
Read the entire manual before assembling, installing, using, or servicing the table. A copy of this
manual must be available at all times to persons who assemble, install, use, or service the table. Read
the manual whenever necessary to refresh your understanding of use and maintenance procedures.
This product presents pinch point and hydraulic pressure hazards to the user and bystanders. ALWAYS
